Dusty Chalk Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 What about the ATH-MSR7? That's on InnerFidelity's Wall of Fame. Also comes in a nice flamboyant pink -- no-one would dare steal those, neh? Although i'd probably get the gun-metal gray, just to avoid becoming too stereotypical.

skullguise Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) I may look at those ATH-MSR7's at some point......while I like the B&W P5-S2 enough sound-wise, and it isolates well enough, my aforementioned comfort issues keep me lightly spying other options. EDIT: dang, I should pull out my old re-cabled Senn 280's. Old enough that the clamping isn't bad, isolate like the dickens, and remember thinking the sound wasn't as bad (artificial highs) as some thought.

wink Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 The HD280 has about 30dB isolation without noise cancelling rubbish to destroy the sound that's supposed to be listened to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Isn't that the one with the wonky seal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nopants Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 yes w5k has pretty poor isolation What's the difference between the older version of their headphones and this X series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wink Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Wonky seal as well as wonky sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamwhisper Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 @nopants, I'm not sure what the difference is. Supposedly there's an elastic band method to improving fit of the original W5000 . I've only tried bending the headband myself and it wasn't enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I've been told, but I haven't compared them myself, that the W5000X has a more present and bodyful bass than the old 5000. I never liked the late. The W3000 are quite decent, they have a response more towards the V shape than neutral, but fun to listen to. Not the best isolating headphones I know though.

postjack Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 The AT woodies fall into that weird headphone category of cans i love to buy and own but don't enjoy listening to. Similar to the PS1000 and GS1000. I'm not falling in that trap again.The W5000 in particular was super comfortable on my head and super pretty to look at, they just sound totally bassless and lifeless.

Dusty Chalk Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I suspect he just wants to be known as an authority in his own right. There might be a small amount of empire building/doesn't play well with others there, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
