Technics EAH-A1000 review: over-ear headphones with class, detail and comfort that err just slightly on the side of caution

Technics has come so very close to perfect for the money, here. The EAH-A1000 are quite beautiful to look at and, unlike many winsome sets of headphones, you'll still think they're beautiful several hours after putting them over your ears. There's a delightful sense of pride in ownership too, and carrying them around is a breeze thanks to their easy-folding and solid-but-lightweight hard-shell case. My only minor gripes concern a sound that, while agile and insightful, occasionally plays things a tiny bit safe (for fear perhaps of offending), and physical controls on the right ear cup that occasionally fail to register my presses. Small issues in a formidable pair of headphones I think you'll agree — and I still predict a huge hit.
