AUDIO-TECHNICA ATH-W1000 Headphones. LOVELY wood cases! Great sound.
I bought these to run from my (now sold!) Leben CS600 and also for bedroom use.
They are lovely phones, firstly to look at with exquisite Cherrywood cases on the earpieces; then, of course, the sound which is wonderful.
You can check here for a review. http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/audiotechnica/winning.html
I've rarely used them though. They will run from my iPod, but I like them MUCH too much to ever take them outside, so they've sat mainly unused since I bought them 15 months ago..
They are thus in as-new condition. Kept wrapped up to keep those lovely wood cases pristine. Even the plug has cherry wood insert and lovely gold lettering! They DO know how to make a quality product in Japan!
I find that I just use my old 580s when I go on holiday, so really the A-Ts are just a bit of a luxury!
For someone with a more serious headphone habit, these will be fantastic. The sound is....analogue, in a way. Clear, defined, great imagery.
Gets you into the heart of the music with ease.
Comfortable too, despite being a little heavier than more flimsy phones.
Special cotton wrapped OCC cable, runs from one side which is better than 'Y' cable.
£390 . (Originally £545) Have original box (such as it is!)
Looks just like the pic in review, but I'll post later.
U.K. only sale please!
