cyberfrog 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2009 Juz dug up a little trivia, it would seem the EW9 uses Hokkaido Cherry while the ESW9 uses African Paddock. (http://www.luxurylaunches.com/gadgets/audiotechnicas_hot_wooden_headphones.php) On my ESW10JPN box it says "Black Cherry"... So whats the wood used on the W5000? ~snip~ I just noticed something.. It says that the wooden housing made from the Japanese Hokkaido cherry tree... But the back of the box states: "The housings are made of 100% African Paddock wood." Just to clarify.. Is the African Paddock wood the Hokkaido cherry tree? :? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
