The Audio Technica W3000ANV Thread
Jul 7, 2015 at 7:30 PM Post #1,307 of 1,529
Random question, but I'm curious.....
 
Before I bought my W3000ANV's I looked at tons of online photos, admiring the wood earcups.
 
When I first opened my box, I was a bit surprised that the wood grain was a rather difficult to see in normal lighting.  The wood grain on my cans does show up in really bright lighting scenarios, but it is more subtle than I expected.
 
I would imagine there will be variation from can to can, but I am curious.....
 
 
Can others respond to the following with respect to your W3000's?
 
(a) I can easily see the wood grain in normal lighting, or
 
(b) The wood grain is difficult to see in normal lighting conditions.
 
 
Cheers,
 
Blake

(C) I don't see the wood grain at all, even if I hold a flashlight really close. I think it is due to the glossy finish and many coats of lacquer?

(b)

i've read that the wood grain becomes more prominent over time with echizen lacquered wood products

Time for a closeup photos shoot : this is mine number 1615 came from beach camera California

Here are the two cups absolute no scratchs. I always wash my hands before take the headphone and wash the leather pads with a leather cream 3 or 4 times by year.

And the Jewel in is dedicated case

Now you believe me ? :D and i use it near every day since 2012. I do the same way with my TH900, my D7100, my Balancing Act, tubes etc..audio materials are so precious things to me

The only dirt things are the foam pads of the 3D wings system Who touch the hair. It's difficult to wash them...if you have an idea, please tell me :wink:
