For around $200? Everything I saw was in the 500-800 range. I did find and am looking at the a900 currently, those look nice too. But I really do like the looks of those wooden phones. I really like the looks of them, they just ooze qaulity.

The W1000 was sold in a clearance from Musician's Friend for really cheap. You can probably find a used one at around $200.
 
I haven't heard the A900, but I heard the A700 and from what I read, I think it is reasonable to assume they would have a similar sound signature which would be V-shaped. The A700 has recessed mids and was a bit harsh on the treble for certain electronic tracks with fake digital cymbals. I think the A900 may improve on this, but I'm not certain.
 
The A, W, and AD series sound quite different from each other.

Cheapest for the w1000 I can find thus far is 448. I'll keep looking around, but I'm getting the feeling I'm going to have to settle for something else. Which is a shame, sounds like the perfect cans for me.
 
EDIT: Yeah, I've searched high and low and that is the only pair I can find. Super sad. They seem so nice, wish they weren't discontinued...

Guess you wouldn't know a place I might be able to find them, would you? I've tried all the places I can think of and have google/bing/yahoo'd myself out of options. The only place I could find them for around $200 bucks was from a china wholesale store, which I'm almost certain was a scam site.
 
It's looking like I may have to start looking at open cans instead to get those good vocals. Although, from what I hear open headphones tend to suffer in the bass area. Seems like me liking mids/bass is not a realistic taste. lol

Along with the regular suggestions, Audiogon and eBay (and the variations thereof) are the only places I know. If anyone knows of another I'd love to hear about them.

My only suggestion to you is to either buy something else if you can't wait, such as the AD2000 which can be had for around $350.
 
Otherwise, you'll have to wait until one pops up in the for sale forum or on ebay.

Where can you find the AD2000s for $350 and the W1000s for $200? I'll jump all over them at those prices. All of the W1000s I've seen have been above $300 with an anomaly in the FS forum at $250 while the lowest I've seen on the AD2000s was around $400.
