Nice wood. Seems there should be a depression in the case to hold a travel size can of Pledge.
I like the Lemon sent, but most people feel the new Orange sent adds extra punch to the mids, while tamping back a bit on the the highs. Personally, I think a lot also depends on the type of dust cloth one uses...

RayFI think putting the headphone though a cycle of 100.000 incantations to Alduin, the world eater does a better job on wood , but on metal ones like the A2000Z id still take the Pledge. i am a big fan of the combo anti tobbaco fragrance plus the new Nordost audiophile cloth.

RayFI dunno the price performance isn't all that much better than the Schitt Scrubba

RayFYou guys are slaying me. Only in this community would there be a mention of Nordost cloth "now enhanced with unobtanium" and the Schitt Scrubba, I thought I was the only one who had completed that modification. Cheers!

RayFThe wood isn't a selling point, it's an aesthetic. You aren't really paying more for the wood than you are for the better AT engineering and great sounding headphones. That said I prefer wood to plastic housings, and metal to either.

UzuzuI like the wood--I suppose it makes each pair somewhat unique, and probably feels nice. But I'm holding out for the clear covers with "Tron-style" LEDs that flash to beat of the music. You know you want to sit next the guy on the plane wearing those!

RayFyou should dip the wood in snake oil from time to time. Keeps the shine. Like those silver cleaning clothes.

UzuzuUzuzu, the only comment that I will leave here is that, the wood does in my opinion create a warmer feel. I know some things are like snake oil, but, for instance I can hear when a closed back is wood vs. Aluminum. I can not in good conscience say that this has something to do with the absorptive properties of wood vs. aluminum but, it is definitely there. My .02 cents. Thanks for the engineering shout out. There are some very talented people that make my job easier.

poteetb1Yeah there is science behind wood and frequencies, hence the reason every wooden version of an instrument sounds much better in timbre to.... anything else. The guys here making snake-oil jokes about it are lost causes and bereft of the concept of meaningful discussion, anything out of their budget is immediately snake-oil, even though the thought and engineering behind the product is the reason of the price being over 500 dollars. Doubt they've even heard the Raffinato.

Uzuzuwell I bought them, and I am making snake oil jokes. In a normal world that would prove your argument invalid, but I know the scientific method doesnt apply to audiophiles. Your incredibly snobish argument of attacking people thoughts not on their probable merit but on what they can afford still stands. Seriously do you actually understand what makes this headphones stand out from an engineering standpoint and can enlighten people? Instead of you know just being a snob.
The jokes are just that, jokes. Is probably a very hard concept to understand for you, but you can enjoy hifi audio without having a stick up your butt, is also posible you are not using the right kind. Let me recomend the Audioquest buttplug, as a company Audioquest has ass fucked audiophiles for decades so they know what they are doing.
And one last thing do you really have to call them the Raffinato??? seriously was that necesary? the you are not wrong you are just an asshole meme fits nicely here.

ares347How am I being an ass? I'm not trying to come off as snobbish, but the guy is posting boomer level memes and they don't even make sense. I make the snake-oil jokes too, but the ones I see here don't even make any sense relative to what they're saying. I see mashed potatos being flung around.
Also the headphone is called the Raffinato?? Uh......

ares347Raffinato is what they are called. Are you naturally an idiot, or did you work on it?? I know, 2 years late, but you're still a douche.
