Daaaaaaaayummm! I've seen it before, but still, drool is right!

And to think that not too long ago I would laugh at the thought of paying anything over $200 for a headphone....

HI: the plug seems to be a 1/4 rather that a mini plug . I wounder if its an adapter or a 1/4 put on the can.

LTUCCI1924, i think all of the woodies that A-T produces are terminated to a 1/4" plug.

HI: Thanks man for that info. I guess I will follow the A1000 that seems to have the mini plug.

OK, I know I said I wouldn't purchase any more full size cans, but I just couldn't help myself. I just ordered a pair of these...

What's wrong with me?????

 

[kin3tix]

hmm, how many more will give in to these beauties? i don't know what's wrong with you rick

, but please keep us informed of your experiences with the W1000 when you have them burned in

HI RICK. What do you do with the 1/4 plug if your amp has a mini plug hole. To use an adapter really makes the plug big and puts more strain on the amp hole. So whats the answer to this issue?

Lou, I'll be using these cans with my EarMax Pro which takes a 1/4 inch phone plug.

LOL, Doug. I really have been having a hard time with some respiratory funk for the past few weeks. I'm finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel...(not hacking as much). However, I think that buying the new AT phones probably helped at least as much as a new batch of antibiotics!

I get it!! The hope of listening to a new set of cans was the impetus you needed to get better!!!

I hear ya with that respiratoy junk, I have pretty bad asthma, thanks so Saddam, and live at 10,000ft up in the Andes mountains!!!! Needless to say I get into shape pretty quickly after arriving, it's knid of a survival thing.

IMO, they look equal to or better than the W2002 depending on taste or mood. How much are they selling for? After the fancy travel case and the hand applied lacquer I think the W2002 is a +/- $400. headphone.

Hopefully they have real leather pads. The pads on the W100 sucked!

Piggy, with the $18.00 shipping charge, my total came to $357.00. I'm with you, I hope they have decent pads.
