I am not kidding. I got these headphones, and they are not really what I like, so I am letting them go.

I would normally sell on audio forums, but I like to make a buck, and since this place is full of people who love music and pull in $200K a year, then burn through them like Genghis Khan burn villages, I thought some of you might be interested.

Two headphones:

Audio-Technica ATH-W5000
Grado GS1000e

Name me your price, and I will consider them.

BTW, you can`t just plug these things into your iPhones and expect good sound, you have to have the gear to drive them properly (Good source, good amp).

PM me if you are interested, I can send you pictures of them and links as to how much they are worth.

I will list them here for a few weeks, then go to the audio site.

Are you saying that I'd have to run my Iphone into an amp and then the headphones? Do you know how retarded that would be to carry that shit around just for a little better sound?

Retarded enough that there is a large market for it.

And these are not really sound isolating headphones, so they are better for home use. It`s a great alternative to having loudspeakers at home, or you can have them in your office.

And no, it`s not a "little" better sound, the difference is enormous.

I doubt they outdo my Beats for sound quality. Or at least not enough for me to want to carry around a pre-amp.

:lol Beats. One of the most overpriced, and horribly made headphones on the market.

They are well marketed, I will give you that, and the newer versions have actually improved sound quality, but they are more a fashion statement than actual high end phones.

If you prefer mobile use and good quality, Sennheiser, V-Moda, and a bunch of in ears are way better options.

as good as it gets UNDER $700. I'm not saying there isn't better sound. I don't listen enough through headphones to justify paying that much. In fact, my most used pair of headphones is this pair for around $20. http://wirelessheadphonesfortv.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/AcousticSheep-SleepPhones-Classic-Sleep-Headphones-Gray-Medium-One-Size-Fits-Most-0-0.jpg

Not that I get great sound but I can fall asleep and roll over on them or whatever. But most of the time I fall asleep to a podcast so it doesn't really matter.

Don't know my point there. But for what they do, the SleepSheep headphones are the shit. hopefully the Paparazzi doesn't break in and snap a pic of me in them.

But again, I'm not buying used headphones. It's just icky.

Do you know how retarded you are for not understanding what these are?

Better quality speakers and headphones are less efficient at making sound. They probably require 20 dB (100 times) the power to drive them.

Still, why would anyone pay $800 to $1000 for studio headphones?

Show me a beats and I will show you a headphone half the price that sounds as good or better

As for used stuff, different preferences. I clean my gear all the time so they are in get condition.

Then again, you just don't have the cash so it's fine. You are not my target anyways.

These aren't speakers but they have close to the sound quality but a lot cheaper.

That's why people spend $1000 on headphones because the alternative is spending $8000 on a set of speakers.

Anyway they are nice and cost less than beats. They don't even really require an amp. I don't really know about either of the two op is talking about so there's that.

They were universally Shat upon by anyone who mattered when they came out. Have they improved... Probably. Are you paying a 20% markup for the name? At least.



The bigger issue is that op probably doesn't have $1000 ears. I know I don't.


Anyway, cry about beats all you want I don't see them ever surpassing the market leaders in the high high end and I don't see them beating grados for value.

I have a pair of Beats headphones, but it seems like everyone has similar headphones, so I wanted to differentiate them.

I made this by applying a maple veneer to the surface of the headphones.

Materials:
A pair of headphones, I used beats headphones, but any headphones with flat or gently curving surfaces will work.
An 8X18" sheet of Birdseye maple veneer (You could get away with smaller than this, I did not use it all)
Two part epoxy
Wood finish of choice ( I used wipe on Polyurethane)
Wood stain (Optional)

Tools:
Sand paper ( I recommend a variety of grits, from including ~120, ~220, and ~400)
A T6 torx screwdriver
A #0 Philips head screwdriver
A small flathead screwdriver (to pry apart headphone parts)
Clamps (lots of them!)


I made this project at the Georgia Tech Invention Studio


STEP 1: DISSASSEMBLE THE HEADPHONES

Dissassemble the headphones
Dissassemble the headphones
Dissassemble the headphones
Dissassemble the headphones
Before applying the veneer disassemble the headphones as much as possible. I did not do this and started applying veneers with some of the parts connected, and it made the gluing process more complicated, then eventually I had to disassemble them, so you should just start by disassembling it.

I used this video for guidance while disassembling the headphones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brwD3pc8ZB8

Be careful while taking the headphones apart, they are snapped together, and the tabs that hold parts on can break if excessive force is used.

You're a contrary sort. Those weren't wooden headphones. The artist used a veneer. But I had a good chortle at the time and effort spent on trying to improve on exceptionality.

The artist had some talent, but really defined putting lipstick on a pig.

My game is to sell my headphones. They are great headphones, but they just don't really synergize with my gear. I would eventually want to get what Tim Duncan wears, HiFiman headphones. I have their older model HE-500, but would eventually like to upgrade to the HE560, or even the HE1000, but that's just way out of my price range. I really wish I can pull in dough like these successful people here on Spurstalk and buy whatever i want.

I don't know what all those models are or if they are even real. But if you really want a pair of expensive headphones, my advice is to sell the ones you have and put that money towards your purchase. It would be foolish to have three pairs of headphones.

I opened up a thread about SELLING headphones, so yes, I am surprised that I am getting response about an ignoramus asking simple questions about headphones, just like I would if somebody came in and start talking about rocket fuel because I opened up a thread about man-made objects.

If you are listening to language lessons and market reports, then you are not being efficient, you are falling asleep them, not learning anything.

So what is it? Are you listening to those things to fall asleep, or make efficient use of your time? You can't do both, because you would get better rest by just falling asleep, or absorb more information by listening to language lessons and market reports by focusing on the topics.

What you are telling me is that you are doing both half-assed, which is neither efficient nor effective.

No, you are falling asleep, and not processing information. Learning a new language by listening to audio tapes for 10 minutes a night after having prolonged sex with your wife is undisciplined, and an absolute waste of time that will get you nothing in return.

How long does it take for you to learn a language? What languages have you learnt?

And I do not despise ignorant rich people, I love them. They buy things from me at a higher price point than I can sell them to an informed person (rich or otherwise), sometimes more than what I paid for. There is absolutely NOTHING to be despised about ignorant people from a seller's perspective.

It takes me 10 minutes a night to learn a spoken language. I'm working on my first one outside of English. It's certainly not a waste of time.

Hola Ambchang. Como esta usted?

I like your spunk Magoo. I hereby offer you $10,000 for your wooden headphones. You're a super good salesperson who has also taught me about the efficient use of time. Let's work together in the future. With my brains and your "go and get it" attitude, I think the moon's the limit for us.

:lol, are you serious? I know what you just know just watching Dora the explorer, and you waste 10 minutes a night learning that? How many days did it take you to learn that?

$10K is a rip off, I don't do rip offs, I just sell at reasonable prices that could be higher than market.

I am having reservations about your brains, especially your inability to manage limited resources (time in this instance). I will pass on the opportunity to partner with you.

I know more than that. I was opening up a conversation. It's OK if you can't answer immediately. I'm sure if I asked you to say "stir the chocolate", you'd be able to quickly apply your Dora Spanish.

No problem on the proposed business venture. Most 99%'s don't recognize the truly potentially great opportunities.

If I come across some period actors, I will let them know about your wooden headphones and that you are looking to sell them at a fair price.

How did you come up with 99%? People see potential pretty easily, it's whether they are willing to take the risks.

However, 99% of the people can smell bullshit, even through the internet.

Keep trucking, boots.

No, you come up as a fraudster. I don't trust people who claim to be a 1% and wear Beats, it's like a guy who claims he makes $200K a drives a Mustang, or someone claiming he's educated and kept flaunting his Bachlor's degree.

Besides, I just sold the Grado GS1000e. I said I wasn't going to list it on an audio site, but after seeing the number of cheapskates here, I listed it there, and got a response immediately.

The ATH-W5000 is still available though.

I hereby offer you $8500 for your remaining set of used wooden headphones.

I told you, I am not a fraudster, and I am not here to gouge people. Those things are worth around $800 or so. If you want to spend $8500 for a headphone, I suggest you get an Abyss AB-1266, and then get a nice amp (like a balanced Beta22, or a Eddie Current amp) to go along with it. If you want to go electrostatic, get a Stax SR009 and a BHSE as your driver, but you will have to dig deeper in your pockets because $8500 isn't enough.

And :lol at a American living in the south having to listen to tapes to learn Spanish.

:lol 1%
