So, what do you recommend?  I can get speakers of any size.

I want to start a system from scratch, but I don't know where to start.  I know almost nothing about what speakers/cables/etc. I need.  I currently have a computer with a soundcard I could use, but that's about it.      Thanks,   Joseph

I heard sound isolation was good and bad on the d2000. Mine came in broken so I couldn't tell ya.

I want these to be closed headphones, and I want good ones for rock/alternative/indie, something that I can use with my sound card and ipod, and I will be getting an amp in a couple months.

Ok, so I asked for the d2000's for christmas. My parents ordered it directly from amazon. I opened them up today, and guess what? The right headphone piece was chipped off from the headband. I have to wait a week for my parents to get their money back. Anyway, since I am not getting the d2000's...

I ordered the d2000's today and this would be my first pair of nice headphones. I have been seeing in order to get the most out of them I would need to buy an amp. I don't want to drop 70+ one. What is a good amp for less than that so I can enjoy my new headphones? I bought a fiio mini amp so I...

I just ordered the d2000 and re0. Is burn in necessary? Or can I burn in the 'phones by just regularly listening to them?

nvmd, just found the 2000's for $190 at my local store.

How bad is sound leakage on the d2000?

Which is better without using an amp?

Thank you. What amp would you reccomend and would it be useful with an iPod?

Someone reccomended Denon D2000's would those suit me?

I used to have some Shure IEM's but they crapped out on me, and I want to improve my audio. I listen to classic rock/rock/pop/alternative/indie. I also play many computer games, and would like your choice on a sound card also. Also I play some 360, and it would be nice to listen to my 360...
