razer 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2005 Look, no point getting them as single ones. AT has already told bluetin that they would be shipping in pairs since the drivers need to be match by them. Also, the W5000 is pretty old news aint it? Been out for sometime and everyone's waiting eagerly for its launch. At almost 80 000 yen, thats the retail price for the ATH-AD2000 headphone eh? Very cheap and good price I would say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razer 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2005 Also, I've got a feeling HUNG BROTHER's gonna have a good price on these W5000s if they were to bring them in. I bought the L3000's for only $2620 from them. Thats an insanely good price IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

razer 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2005 Just speculating....But hey if you get them here, you'll have a year of warranty. Pretty good for a little premium. Since Blue Tin is going for 1600ish, and from what I've seen, Hung has always been quite a bit cheaper than bluetin, lets speculate the price to be $1450 !!! Please, pray with me everyone!

idkfa 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) Maybe local warranty is worth paying more then. heh. Btw, I wonder if the local dealers send the faulty parts back to Japan or do they have a local HQ? Edited November 30, 2005 by idkfa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razer 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2005 They have a local Audio Technica South East Asia (wadeva) thats darn near Aljunid MRT station and I guess that they would do replacements or repairs for you if they have the replacement parts. However, more complicated repairs go back to Japan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just saw one for SGD$1900. lol Does that include Tax and other stuff? What about the plane trip down to Tokyo and what's the rate of Yen to SG at that current time. Even if its $1900, you still don't get the local warranty here in Singapore. But that's a diff story altogether because u're a lucky bas**** who happens to be live in Japan....
