I'm holding out for $20
These good for call of duty?
more like Duke Nukem material
I know i should buy this so i wont hear my gf asking me to buy her $2299 gucci bag
lol! By breaking up?
Jokes on you
These are open-backs, so you'll hear every word she says 😆
She doesn't have to know that…
If she asks to try out, pretend to talk without sound and say the noise cancelling is pretty good.Username checks out. Sorta.
ordered 1 for my employee
Are you hiring?
I’m the employee
he's suffering
Any good MiniDisc on sale to use with these?
Just get a second-hand ipod nano from eBay?
Make sure you get a first-generation one. They have Wolfson DACs.
The sought-after Wolfson DAC measures objectively worse than other DACs, but they have much more warmth and a mellifluous texture with plenty of impact, a musical tonality, and superior imaging. Or something.
I wonder how much it would cost if they made an ADX5090
You know you'll be trying to catch the ATL-ADX5090 but all you'll ever buy is the ATH-ADX5090 as usual.
Id rather HODL for the ATL-ADX6070 ;)
i don't even get a piece of walnut for that price?
ATH-ADX5000-A is all the rage in Shelbyville these days
Anyone know of sound isolating headphones?
Both Sony and Bose headphones people can hear colleagues speaking during calls

Have you tried putting them on?
and turning them on
You could try getting a pair of ear defenders from Bunnings and then wearing some active noise-cancelling earbuds underneath (I like the Anker Liberty 4 NC's, myself) maybe with some Comply memory foam tips to really cut down on the noise.
The other option is to point out to your boss that it's harming your productivity.
+1 for the Comply tip. Thanks !
Good find op - this is a bargain
Thanks, got a few for the kids and some spares.
"I can NOT recommend the Audio Technica ATH-ADX5000. They need to do a lot better."
That is such a shame. AT used to be awesome back in the day - I still fondly remember my ATH-AD900X for pinpoint spatial audio accuracy in games.
They peaked at the 700-900 range.
Not saying I disagree with the conclusion (I haven't heard this particular headphone), but I sure as hell wouldn't put any weight behind anything Amir says in terms of sound quality. He should stick to measuring DACs.
Just because I can, doesn't mean I shan.
thank you mate you shan my day.
frequency response down to 5hz is pretty mad, unsure if this translates to the headphones vibrating?
conspiracy theory - 50-80% of audiophile brands are run by people who hate audiophiles and just want to rip them off with stupidly overpriced products.
50-80% of audiophile brains are ruined by frequencies below 5hz
How is this compare to Hifiman Sundara?
These were good when they came out, but for the price not so much these days.
That is what makes me buy this one
