Sebastian Eilzer has posted a review of the Audio-Technica ATH-W1000X headphones (€748) at 6moons. His conclusions:
The W1000X is the latest evolutionary installment of the ATH-W wood series which for me finally cashes in fully on Audio-Technica’s established house sound. Versus the predecessors bass power has been significantly increased and particularly the midband has gained in mass vis-à-vis the W1000. The ATH-W1000X excels at electronica and Jazz where its liveliness and impulse response are fully exploited. As a user of multiple headphones the W1000X would be an ideal second choice. It presents a very different perspective to models by AKG and Sennheiser. Its closed alignment makes for an attractive complement to their open models. Should a K701 or HD650 start to sound boring, a reach for the W1000X will turn the tables. Fans of more minimalist mixes could well find the Audio-Technica suitable as their only choice. In matters of wear comfort and finish, this model takes no prisoner. Rather it shadows most the competition.
