Audio Technica’s ATH-ESW9; Knock on wood

For $349 you can stick two lumps of wood to your ears. To be fair it is high quality wood from the finest Japanese Hokkaido cherry tree. Fortunately the wood conceals some pretty good sounding headphones tucked away in them.

The ATH-ESW9 Sovereign Wood Headphones have “42mm neodymium magnet drivers encased in fiberglass, a gold plated mini plug and a sensitivity of 103dB” and will be available from October 19th.
