Amazing Sound

These sound amazing paired with a dedicated headphone amp and a high quality source. Much better for various kinds of music as opposed to a certain genre, a reason why I've chose them. I used to own the W5000's and those were only suited for certain...

Wonderfully colored headphones

Some of the best built headphones on the market, and the most comfortable despite their size. The frame is entirely magnesium except for the wing mechanisms, and the wood is far and away the best finish you\'ll find on a headphone, including more...

Audio-Technica ATH-W1000X

Among major headphone manufacturers, Audio-Technica produces one of the most inclusive ranges available, with something of a speciality in closed-back models.

Slight coloration ; Headband awkward to handle

It also proves comfortable over long listening sessions and the modest, but useful reduction in background noise is a genuine advantage, very often, over openback alternatives. All-in-all, it's a fine transducer.

Audio Technica ATH-W1000X

Wooden headphones with top-notch bass.

Excellent bass performance ; Great overall sound quality

Non-removable cable ; Lack some admirable qualities of open rivals

The Audio Technica ATH-W1000X are impressive closed-back headphones that offer unusual design and superb bass performance. For at-home use they’re just the ticket, but they sit at a difficult price, where rival planar and open-back headphones can...

Audio Technica ATH-W1000X

Best home on-ear headphones ?500-?800, Awards 2010. If you want to listen to music around other people, these closed-back beauties are the way to do so

Superb sound by the standards of closed-back headphones

Not cheap; don?t feel that secure on your head
