Those look really nice. They are sealed I'm assuming. I'm really wondering how these will sound

Thanks for the info Fungi.

Yes, they're sealed. Hope they sound better than A900.

One can only hope they get the comfort and fit right this time. The AD2000X does look VERY nice indeed.

Nice, seems like the ES7 design ethic in a full-size package. I wonder what kind of sound AT is going for, sounding closer to a W5000 or L3000.

Not that I need a high-end closed dynamic headphone, but more high end AT = good.

It looks like they may have the W5000-like non-adjustible wire band. Not good. Can't tell how much (and which direction) cups rotate. Here's hoping for a A900 solution.

Agh! Just when I thought I was done. Based on my experiences with current production headphones I feel that AT has come through for me the most (Though I bow to Stax as the #1 in production headphone company right now) followed by a close tie between Sennheiser/AKG. Therefore I have high hopes.

Yay for more AT headphones! I may go for the A2000X at some point...

I personally think they look hideous.

I wonder how exactly these will sound. A blend of the AD2000's and W5000's maybe? Oh, that would be nice.

those are some bling bling headphones...

great looking cans. I hope they use a different bass mechanism then the W5K.

awesome.

Sheeeeeeet... why did AT have to go and do this?

I'm in the midst of saving up for an L3000.... And now they release these...

Now its gonna make it that much more difficult for me to save up for an L3000... Must resist temptation... A2000x looks sweeeeeeet!

These headphones, being not-limited production headphones, will only go down in price, as per tradition. The L3000, being limited production headphones in demand, will only go up in price. Hope that makes your decision easier

YES! This is great news for someone like me. BTW kinda off topic, but did you ever get to demo the ATH-AD1000PRM, ATH-ESW10JPN? and what does PRM mean anyways?

PRM is premium, and who was going to demo those? I did see one impression today on 2ch that said the ESW10 had less bass than the ESW9, more high extension, and extremely good midrange, as good as other full size cans in that price range. Big step up from ESW9 and aside from the smaller soundstage from the small housing, he says it sounds really good.

Where was this from? I'd like to read it, if you don't mind.

Yes, that makes it waaaaay more easier to decide. It took me a few minutes to realize that these are gonna be a part of ATs permanent lineup.

Well, the L3000 is probably better anyway...

Fujiya Avic in Japan is selling them (preorder) for 45,800 yen and 59,800 yen.

woah, thats like 18k yen less.. the pricing now seems much better

I'm still very curious about the A2000X (I do like my A2000). I really want to get a "better" circumaural closed can for those time the TV is on in the house (better overall than A900LTD, less boomy that Denon D2000, more body that K271). I have seen good and bad reviews on it. Does anyone here own (or has heard) one? I am thinking of this and the W5000 which are fairly close in price (was interested in the D7000 but think it will still be too boomy).

The W5000's fit weird on a lot of people -- tread carefully. I think you should get the A2000X and report back to us how it sounds.

I was thinking that ("take one for the team") and may do unless someone tells me something like "they're horrible, stay away, I would rather.... "

As for the fit of W5000, I would definitely have to do some bending of the wires since they were pretty loose on me when I have tried them. This is one reason that I have been avoiding them.
