Hilarious...you just named all four headphones that I happen to own!

 

Your amp should do very well powering all four.

 

What type of music do you listen to?

 

For example, I listen to 60% rock/metal, 30% jazz, and 10% classical/Macedonian folk

 

For me the T1s are the best all rounders and slightly edge out the HD800s for tops.

Just old school Macedonian music...You can check out samples on iTunes (they have everything). I grew up listening to my dad playing his records from the old country and they kinda stuck; even though I was born in Canada and listened to Zeppelin, AC/DC, etc...

I own 3 of those 4 headphones and I agree with macedonian on the fact that you need to state your musical preferences.

 

I listen to mostly bass heavy music (dnb, hip hop, trance, downtempo) so I would definitely choose the D7000 over the other choices.  I also like how the D7000 does with movies as it's easily the most impactful of the bunch.

 

Also you have a really nice amp that will drive all of those headphones well.

never heard the beyer T1, but if you include the movies, I think HD800 is awesome

 

but for me who love the rock - acoustic song, RS1i for sure

For movie either DX1000 or D7000. Both of those have good bass for films. DX1000 has good preceived 3D depth as well. Personally I would drop the RS1i from the list.

I read in the reviews about the HD800, that it has unsurpassed imaging and soundstage, probably the most important for movies.

 

Forgot to mention I already own the D2000, but still waiting for the Concerto (in transit).

 

Music preferences vary (but like well defined bass), Funk, Hip Hop, Bass tunes etc. For this the D2000 have been fun so far out of the soundcard, easy to drive.

 

Beyer T1's on top so far, HD800 not so popular?

 

It sounds like a case of:

 

Open design = Sounstage

Closed design = Bass impact

What does the HD800 have in terms of Bass impact/quality. Will it shake your ears like the closed cans (D2000/D7000)

I picked the HD800, but if it was me, I'd buy an Audio Technica.

Yeh the JVC DX1000 may just be the calling card of the highend. Bass and depth.
