So sorry to dig up this old thread, but can someone show me some picture of the headphones in more details, in areas like the extension of the heaphones, the cup and the cushion.

 

There's something call Google.

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? :?

Talking about wood, my W1000 is made of Hokkaido Asada cherry.

w5000 is ebony wood. The w1000 and esw9 wood look similar though in terms of colour.

What amp do you use to drive the esw9 ?

It a portable cans that can be drive easily by most amp. I'm using it's big brother ESW10 with just an iQube.

I concur. Both ESW9 and ESW10 are driven very easily. Even w/o amps, they sound good already.
