The Tokyo Find

I recently realized I haven't discussed my pair of Audio-Technica ATH-WM77 on-ear headphones in detail. I purchased these headphones two years ago at Yodobashi Camera in Shinjuku, Tokyo, for approximately $40 in yen. They are a fun pair and have become one of my favorites in my audio collection.

 

Section II

Condition and Maintenance

One downside I encountered is that the plastic housing on the left speaker popped out of place. To fix it, I used Krazy Glue, which has worked well.

Note: While the adhesive fixed the structural issue, the left speaker lost its ability to swivel, which makes it slightly less convenient to stash the headphones in my backpack.
