What's in the box!

[taronlissimore]

Recent haul of some review units and used gear. That is an Audio-Technica ATH-ADX5000 in the box. We’ve heard too many good things about it but finding someone that actually owns a pair or have listened to it themselves is like finding a unicorn so figured it was time.
