Denon AH-D7000 - Page 409

For me my HE-500 can't come anywhere close to my HE-6 on the First Watt F1J amp.  The HE-500s are a really good headphone.  I like it better than the LCD-2.2s.  The D7000 just does that special thing to rap music..

OWNERS OF 7100 DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL (and start a riot defending your headphones)

Today I got my Denon 7100 headphones.

First impressions: horrible.

I don't want to comment the sound because I don't have so much experience with headphones, I only own Sennheiser hd595.

I will share my opinion on built quality.

They don't look and feel like $1200 headphones, never ever.

The "leather" on the top feels very fragile and I don't think it will last very long, the bad part is that it can't be replaced.

I have a normal male size head but the headphones jiggle very hard at any little move and I always feel like they are about the fell from my head.

They are too width.

The right wood cup is wider than the left one. I looked very close and this is how they are. It is hard to tell because of the curves.

On the left the cup touches the plastic frame, in the right there is a small clearance as it should be.

The built quality at this price is not acceptable for me.

I paid 600 euro delivery included and feel ripped off.

Please take my opinion at it is and don't start text analysis.

I didn't want to comment on sq because I don't have experience, I only own sennheiser 595 and didn't own any other more expensive headphones.

I like nice bass but this is too much and too boomy, some said it will go away but I won't find out.

When I got 595 I was very impressed with 7100 not even a little.

sorry for wrong thread, now I go there prepared to be insulted for my opinion :-).

My stock D7000 has taken over first place with my secondary rig, you guys know what I mean. I have a "vintage" nightstand setup: A Bel Canto DAC2 (fed by a Firestone Bravo USB converter), feeding an X-Can/PSU that sounded a bit sharp with HD600. I tried an HD650, it was much better and the first time I actually "got" that headphone. Than the D7000 arrived, and the HD650 has been gathering dust ever since. Maybe it's not a "reference" rig. But I enjoy my reference recordings out of it quite a bit.

Just modded My D7000's with HD800's receptors...Thought it would be a quick job but it turned out to be more than that.  But the result was well worth though.  The stock HD800's cable sounds great!  More bass extension, mid and high came out a little bit less recessed.  Will try some other HD800 cables to help the mid and high...
