W3000ANV quick impressions
« on: November 30, 2011, 05:33:12 AM »
Got the W3000ANV. It sounds almost exactly like this http://www.head-fi.org/t/575725/new-flagship-from-audio-technica-ath-w3000anv-50th-anniversary-headphones/240#post_7906917 but with slightly more bass.

Very charming non-linear weird sound. Has similarities with RS1, except a lot smoother in treble. They’ve got a little bit of that R10 thing going on. Easily better than W1000X which had slow slow decay and a little bit too much bass and upper-mids. Very detailed and fast.

In all honesty, I liked this headphone.

It definitely has some R10 mojo going for it. It's not something spectacular but it's got a special sound that's worth a listen. I'd keep this over an LCD-3.

www.pricejapan.com for now.


I'm sure about a 1000 units are reserved for outside Japan.

I can only see the ATH-W3000ANV, not the ATH-W3000ANX
