I feel like they are in the same ballpark. AWKT sounds better, but how much of that is the better seal/fit or the balanced cable that I'm using? Spec wise the drivers are similar if not the same, only difference it the impedance.

I have both, and they are very very similar. If you already have the W5000, there isn’t a huge upgrade or improvement with the AWKT. The AWKT is definitely better, but it is very slight and the average listener probably won’t be able to tell. Well recorded, mastered and engineered music is required, preferably with real acoustic instruments/voices. You can hear every detail of the audio track.

- Detachable cables which are compatible with other AT models. I'm using the cables that I purchased for my ATH-WP900.
- Dropped the 3D wing which I always found bothersome with my eyeglasses. Replaced with a leather wrapped headband that does have the occasional creak.
- Smaller overall footprint, mainly due to the new headband.
- Comes in a wooden box instead of the case, I think I like the case better.
These are hardly portable, but with the move away from the 3D wing they are much smaller in size now. I walked around my yard the other day with them on and it wasn't awkward at all, but I'll normally switch over to a JVC wooden IEM if I'm moving about. If you have a pair of ATH-W5000, or anything in the AT wooden line for that matter, then this is your end game. Yes the price here isn't a huge discount, but you get a bunch of free Drop bucks and a manufacturer's warranty. You can probably old out for a deal in a decade when they replace them, until then close to MSRP is going to be the name of the game. Photos of my AT wooden family coming shortly.
