### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Well Worth the Asking Price, Amazing Finishing, Sound to Die for
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2012*

Bought this as my first high end earphone. Amazon Marketplace sold me Used-Like New condition which is an accurate description. The packaging is very well done and definitely is reusable many time.Upon unpacking, I left it burn in for about 3 consecutive days with 
  
Beethoven: String Quartet in C Minor, Op. 18, No. 4 & String Quartet in B-Flat Major, Op. 130, with the Grosse Fuge, Op. 133







  
  
     on Marantz SA-KI Pearl with moderate-high volume on loop. The disc is choosen for its great dynamic range and also is pretty much the kind of music I would be listening to most of the time. Oh boy! Over time, the changes are noticable. The soundstage widens, attacks and decays are as they should be on the viola and violin. In other words, timbre is beautifully presented on this earphone. I would not call it the most accurate earphone on the market but it certainly is one that produces and presents very pleasant sound to the ears.Tested on another disc 
  
My One & Only Thrill







  
  
     and again, this earphone delivers above my expectation. Melody's vocal is not in your face but it is presented in an authentic manner in a reasonably sized soundstage with enough body. The music simply just flows.As far as comfort goes, I don't have problems with this earphone. It feels that it comes with the right weight to me and I can wear it for a few hours without problems.Though it has a closed back design, in terms of external sound isolation, it is not the most dead quiet earphone but more than enough for home-office environment. Also, this does not concern me for my application.Overall, this is a happy purchase. This earphone was released many years ago but it still holds true as one of the reference earphones out there in the market. I can recommend it without any reservation.

    ATH-W5000
  

*by T***J on Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2020*

Well, I normally do not return things, as I over analyze and buy what I decided on, but these ATH-W5000 headphones are being returned as they are a poor design and extremely uncomfortable.  I feel the sound of these, at best, is a 3 on a 5 scale, so I could not justify the extreme overpricing of these headphones.  Add in the discomfort of the thin padding, which make my ears hurt, and these headphones became an easy return as I would rate the comfort at the lowest 1 out of 5 Stars.  Therefore, I would rate the ATH-W5000 as a 2 out of 5 Stars, and not worth the pricing.  At $249.00, I find the Monoprice M1060 and M1060C to be much better in sound and comfort.  At $349.00 I find the HiFiMan Sundara to be far superior in sound and comfort.  At about $150.00, I find the HiFiMan HE400i and HE400s to both be far superior in sound and comfort.  At about $650.00, I find the HiFiMan Ananda to be far superior in sound and comfort.  At $799.00, I find the Audeze LCD-2 Classic to be far superior in sound and comfort, but heavier.Verdict:  There are a lot better out there, and far cheaper and more comfortable, than the ATH-W5000.Rating: 2 out of 5 Stars and not recommended.

    Great sound; poorly designed for fit, comfort
  

*by D***X on Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2019*

Great sound, soundstage; but, quickly uncomfortable to wear.  This reviewer has normal to slightly smaller ears - but, shallow pads (really disappointing) cause the inner baffle plate to actually touch / press against ears; and split headband style - while tolerable on the lighter weight AT R70x open backs - requires constant fiddling for good fit, comfort.  After wearing for an hour, then removing, ears still hurt 30 min later.  Sadly using less frequently than would otherwise given sound.  Buying after market earpads to try to provide some space and comfort.
