I wish all drops went this smoothly. Not only did the W5000 ship early, but it arrived before the estimated ship date. Other vendors should take note. Under-promise and over-deliver... not the other way around.
As far as the sound, I love it! These have the most delicate, detailed sound. Every little nuance of the music comes through. They don't seem to need much power either. I was running them from an Amps&Sound Leeloo and barely even turned on the volume to make them very loud. Also, they seem to sound better at low to medium volume, kind of like Grados do. It lets the lush mid-range and the airy treble shine through without being painful. I don't feel like the bass is lacking, as some have stated. Perhaps it's just a matter of finding the right volume balance. I could see the bass getting overwhelmed by the upper mid-range and treble at high volume.
I'm very happy with these. I was worried about the headband but even with my rather small head, it seems to fit fine. Just a matter of positioning it properly. Certainly is lightweight. The included case is quite nice and I plan to store them in it since it's easy to access and fairly compact.
I had just planned to listen for an hour or so last night to try them out and ended up listening for 4 hours! ...which is about how much sleep I ended up getting as well... oops!
