audio technica w1000 reviews?

anyone here heard these? how do they compare to the grado sr325 and the ms2? how did you like them? how big was the sound stage? how much sould did they block out?

and where is a good palce to buy them? audiocubes charges $440

dude, you are posting in the wrong forum. the last 5 or so threads you have started have been about high end audiophile equipment, and this is in a DJ booth forum for tranceaddicts.

these are people who (speaking for myself, but probably others too), have blown their eardrums, are satisfied with the sound of the utter crap Sony V700DJs, and like their bassbins 18" and larger.

I don't think many people here are interested in audiophile equipment.

you might get a better response at http://www.head-fi.org that's where i go to find out about this stuff!

i was banned from head-fi for complaining too much about rambling reviews (I HATE IT WHEN THEY MENTION TEA!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! )

l m f a o tea???

yea! they talk about how they "prepare" to listen.. damn prissies! and this one dolt wrote a review that was 15,000 words long (literally) about his stax omega 2 that was a good deal of filler.. my gawd damn mid term history paper was only 10 pages long at around 3 or 4 thousand words!! for pete's sake!!!

Dude, then just skip to the conclusion... damn. If you want W1000 reviews, head-fi is where you get them. sorry, but we're a community there... *shrugs*. If YOU were gonna buy the W1000's, wouldn't you want to know what source and amp and types of music and such make it worthwhile to spend that much? Geez...

hey gluey! what do the reviews on head-fi say? i can't read them.

Is English your second language or something?? Why do you care? Are you considering buying the W1000's?

no.. and what was wrong with my english? the only improper thing was the gluey part. and yes i would like to buy the w1000's.. but i want more opinions on them.

I'm gonna have to disagree... TA is for people who love trance and music. PLENTY of them I'm sure would love to have audiophile grade equipment. Whether it's affordable is another matter entirely, but seriously, most people who love music would prefer better sound quality, no ?

If DJ's didn't care about sound quality, mixers like the Xone would be shit, and Ortofon carts would be shit too.... I'm going to stop rambling now

Alright. What's your source? What will you be listening to with them (what media, what types of music? mp3's, cd's, vinyl?)

What is your max system budget. Are you interested in buying a headphone amplifier? It should be known that the W1000's probably need a great source and a headphone amp to really shine... so whats your maximum budget for EVERYTHING, and what do you have already?

right now i have a world version of the iriver imp 550 (whcih matched the aracam cd72t IMO) i have a meta42 with 2x627ab op-amps and 4xel2001, alps blue.. etc... i'm going to get either the black rhodium illusion interconnects or the nitrogen ones on headwize... and i wll eventually get a cambridge 640c (that thing is like.. WHOA!!! at $300 less than the arcam... and the amp and cables i tested it with were at a lesser level than the ones i used to test the cd72t... 640c has mega soundstage and great detail.. very balanced presentation of tones and pithces!!!!) and i may eventually get a graham slee solo headphone amp (soooomme day) and i have the ms2's right now.

Word is that the W1000's are slightly bass-shy and a bit analytical sounding. Why not go for the Sony MDR-CD3000's, which supposedly are the best headphones with which to enjoy electronic music?

i don't like sony... i thought the w1000 was supposed to have good bass? what about the a1000?
oh.. and the 627's exude bass btw.
are you thinking of the w100 as bing bass shy? cus the w1000 is supposed to have great deep bass.

*shrugs* I just read some reviews that said the W1000 was sterile-sounding compared to the HD600's from Sennheiser... and I certainly don't like the sound of the HD600's for electronica... Also, even if you don't like Sony, that's no reason to dis the CD3000's... cause they *ARE* kickass headphones...

blah! no sony.. and the w1000 is supposed to have better imaging than even the akg k501.. that's one reason i really want them.

*shrugs* then buy them. I'm not stopping you...

Here are a few interesting threads... at least SKIM them...

a CD3000 vs. HD600 vs Beyerdynamic DT880 thread... with a nice picture about soundstage:
http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/show...&threadid=47672



a ATH-A1000, ATH-W1000, ATH-W2002 and MDR-CD3000 comparison... skip to the two conclusion sections at the very bottom ("So, that�s it. What have we learned?" and "Sound-only Evaluation"). Also, this says the CD3000's have a better soundstage:

Here's a thread talking about the CD3000's and electronica... VERY interesting!

Here's a thread with very informative replies comparing the CD3000 and W1000:

Here's a thread comparing the soundstage of the CD3000 to the W1000; the CD3000's soundstage is larger (read the replies):
http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/show...&threadid=30368

Bump so you see I made a new reply, cause I edited the old one...

i can't read any head-fi.org ... ip banned i am. but i know the soudnstage is smaller on the w1000. but it should ahve better imaging and isolation. can you cut and paste those posts here?

Why not go to the library or a friend's house and read the posts from there?? Surely you can get to a public library without too much trouble? What was your username on head-fi?

MERTON.. you don't know me at all do you? they have a thread on headwize.com that will answer some things. just go to the general section and look for a locked thread made by me.i became pretty viscious on that thread.. but i think rightfully so.
c'mon... cut and paste! i think they banned the lancaster library ip too.

*reads the stuff on headwize and head-fi*

Duuuude.... you really are clueless, aren't you? The first step on being able to get yourself un-banned is to realize a few things...

first of all, headwize and head-fi are a closely knit, intellectually oriented community. People there LIKE reading long stuff and debating; the fact that people wish for and get reviews that you dislike is proof enough.

Second... by disrespecting the written and unwritten rules of the community, you provoked their collective ire... no one there respects things like post count, they look for individual behavior...

Third, if you want to get your library and your school un-banned, you have to realize that, no, you WEREN'T in the right, and go apologize to Jude and politely ask for rights to view Head-Fi.. if you're nice about it, I'm sure he'll be okay... explain that you don't want to sign up again, you just want to lurk and read, and he might give you a chance...

Fourth... grow up... people act far differently here than at places like head-fi; the forums cater to different crowds. If you want to get along in life, you're going to have to figure out how to react and understand (and not provoke) different communities, alright?

Finally, LOOSEN UP. Don't take everything personally, and don't be obsessed about always being "in the right" or having a certain image online... it makes you look fake and vain... so chill, alright?

*falls over laughing*

Man, Merton, are you this dumb for real or do you have to pretend? ROFL...

Anyone, check this out.. no WONDER people at head-fi dislike you...

ROFL!

Not sure what I have started by posting but hey... I'm sorry Merton, Gluegun does make some good points.

I also have to agree with some of the other posters that this isn't really the forum for it. This is really meant for DJ related items. While I appreciate good audio equipment, it's not why I use this forum.

Nem

i realise i was and ass on head-fi.. but i still will ALWAYS look down on any review with dr. frasier crane style filler talking about his gawd damn TEA! like cid said on ff7... just shut up and drink yer gawd damn tea!!! ... a little addition i'm making... don't blather on about yer god damn tea... and gluey.. that list is pretty damn funn ( i was laughin HARD!! lol! ) but some of them i must clear up and explain... *still laughing... i should have my own show..olololol)

1)being dumb as you are you couldn't possibly even fathom your own simplicity and that must be why you think you're not.. you did fall into that simple trap i laid earlier... to say i'm moronic is to say you're idiotic

that there above is a perfectly logical statement... just look up the definition of idiot and moron sometime. you will understand then.

2)lawn mower handles!! (they break like plastic!!! this is supposed to be steel for freaking's sake!!!)


they do! gawd damn thing!!! i could break it into smaller pieces using just my bare hands... i did so as i was throwing it away cus it was too big to fit in the trash can otherwise


3)he's an angry black midget that runs around here yelling at people... and a lot at me!!

5)stupid senile old people shouldn't be on the damn road!!! if they are they should be on scooters so i could just smash them and be on my way!!!


yup. you know it's true!


6)i could easily just turn one of you upside down and use ya as a pencil holder.


i can't remember why i said that


7)WE LIKE BLOWIN' CRAP UP AND MAKIN' IT HARDER TO SEE LONG DISTANCES THROUGH "INVIRONMENTAL MODIFICATION"!!!


i was mocking texas


8)pre-amps are worthless and for the lazy


that's true adn i stand by it!

9)i don't know why.. but don't ever use exclamation points here.. when i did it everyone started crapping on me... maybe they have some sort of issues with exclamation points or something.. but whatever it is.. it sure is weird.

DAMN STRAGIHT!!!

10)nuter it!

11)i'd just rather have a vasectomy... no whiney little money suckers runing round me
