The W1000X was on my buylist until quite recently, I was a bit disappointed when I heard them at the Hong Kong high-end audio-visual show, it was just a bit too muddy, but that might just be the mystery equipment they were demo-ing it off or the songs.
Yeah, it's the W1000X, can't remember what the difference is though since it was a while ago. To be honest I've yet to hear an Audio Technica which didn't sound unacceptably wrong in some way, and that's at least a half dozen of them by now. Looks great, fits nice & comfortably, but they sound wrong.

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either. :P

I'm quite partial to the look of my Urbanears Plattans, though the somewhat small cup size can pinch my ear a little after exceptionally long use.

Plus, they have a nifty 'zounds plug', a headphone jack on the headphones so you can share music without splitters or doing the 'one ear' trick

Those are actually pretty slick, though admittedly my opinion shifts from 'slick' to 'bland' every five seconds. :)
