Well, it´s not exactly bright. Very nice and rich tone, definitely orange though. It´s american black cherry wood. Japanese cherry wood used in W1000 for example is way more red.

Very nice set up! A word to the wise: Enjoy it as long as you can... that is ward off upgradeitis!

Do keep track of how they sound over the course of this week... apparently audio technicas require burn in very much, just like Ultrasones. Technically all headphones do a bit, but only on my ultrasones have I heard this magical breakthrough.

Mine arrived today... but my younger brother lacked the 50$ in import duties required to take it in the house... so I must wait another day :'(

Yeah, I´ll definitely be listening for changes in sound.

I hope you get them soon, you won´t be disappointed! Great sounding beautiful phones.

Thanks! I got them today, and my head is being graced with them at this very moment!

I must say I am always in one way or another impressed with a new headphone. It usually does at least one thing right or enough to catch my attention, but with the more and more headphone I accumulate, I am usually less and less impressed.

Wow, I must say I was expecting quite a bit from this headphone, and it surpassed my very high expectations.

I have only had it on my head for 20 mins, but we definitely made a VERY good choice. Especially you ahah, what a great hi-fi headphone to start with!

I won't say any more because this is your thread, but do enjoy your wonderful purchases!

Happy Listening,

Sokolov

The W has considerably more bass. The X-series have more, and IMO better treble than the other ATs.

While it does not have the gratuitous glamor shots TheOtus took the time to post, here is my review.
