Great trolley for moving things down to the garage and around the garden. Just remember to fit the washers before fitting the split pins...

Pricey, but worth it (maybe)...
In terms of looks and build quality: in a word, stunning. In terms of sound quality: these phones can be stellar, but they are quite unforgiving of source and amplification. Plug them into your laptop (through an adapter - the 1/4in jack gives a hint that this is not the anticipated usage for headphones such as the W5000s) and you may well be disappointed. The ATH-W5000s are fairly bright sounding and very detailed and this can lead to listening fatigue. I bought a Yamamoto HA-02 which is well regarded as a good match, and while it's hard to put a finger on exactly what has changed; the detail is still there, the treble is still bright, but a certain warmth and "easiness" to the sound now makes these phones enjoyable for long listening sessions. I was initially looking to spend half of what I did (excluding the amp) and while it's hard to call something at this price point good value for money, but let's just say I don't regret the purchase. At around £350 these would be an easy 5 stars, but as they're quite pricy and you'll need to budget for a decent amp (ideally the Yamamoto or the matching Audio Technica - both around £1k) I can only give these 4 stars.
