I've always been a fan of the glossy wood finish on a few of Audio-Technica's headphones. So when I picked up the D5000's I was somewhat disappointed that they came in a rather dull finish. I was mulling this fact over the other day when I realized I had some liquid compound in my detailing box....after a few hit and miss tries, I ended up with this:

I know it's not much of a change, but I enjoyed the process and I'm a bit happier with how they look now. I think it even refined the low end a bit!


I kid, I kid

Wow, that looks NICE! Exactly what did you use?

That does look like a very nice improvement [dare I say upgrade...Audiophiles and their gear, sheesh

]...

Low end isn't where I would expect the improvement , but in their sparkly treble extention, perhaps

Nice~

That does look REALLY good...

Quiet nice. I wonder if the gloss (same compound or other) would improve the look of the D2000s also?

Nice work! Very sexy. Tell us how you did it

Beautiful work! Now, sensei, please enlighten us on the details!

They look ultra expensive now! I love the expensive contemporary Italian designer furniture look! Imagine a glossy wenge woodied D5000... gosh...

 

[ecclesand]

GORGEOUS!!!

 

[cotdt]

i bet it sounds good too! and comfy

 

[OptionTrader]

Nice! Now I'm waiting for somebody to say they sound better now...

 

[cotdt]

now all it needs is a recabling

Those look really good. Wonder if I could do that with my Darth's.

Looks great. Also noticed the writing beneath the L/R is gone. So how did you do it?

 

[Zuerst]

cool... I polished/waxed my pair of w5000 while I had it.
