Seriously, Denon? - Page 3

Why do people feel the need to chime in with headphone recommendations in posts that are not seeking them? I also personally think that the constant posting of comparison graphs is useless and annoying. Headphones are about listening to music, I've tried many pairs that have similar graphs but sound very different. This post was clearly about someone who did his own research and made his choice, the way it should be.

take a chill pill, yo!   :)

Wow, that's great pace306.  I bought my d2000s from you about a month ago, and luckily no problems and I love them.  I agonized at the time and considered going with Amazon in case I had any problems, but it was eighty bucks more, so I went ebay.

Now it seems that the ebay vendor (pace306) is much more reliable for dealing with problems than Amazon!  Really shameful on Amazon's part.  Pace306, you should really advertise that the headphones come through an authorized dealer.  That would have made my decision much easier.

OP, I hope your issues are resolved easily enough.  They really are nice headphones!

That's exactly what happened when I first bought D2000 from J&R.  Yes, J&R replaced the headphones.  The connector is not metal, just silver painted plastic that I've found out through this experience.

I think you got a counterfeit pair. I got mine from an authorized dealer and they're in perfect condition a year later.

Also, Denon wrote back. This is what they said:

 

 

 

Although this is pretty annoying, it's what I thought they would say.

 

 

You can open a dispute on eBay/paypal and get your money back.

100% Agreed.
 

I had my D2000 earcup fall off after a few months of use (all though I think the Mrs may have dropped them and not told me). Fortunately I managed to get mine repaired under warranty via the retailer. 

To the OP obviously yours are not fit for for sale I hope you get a full refund or replacement.  I hear that the newer models are more resilient to the earcup screw problem. Lets hope Denon finally resolve this issue by redesign the housing.

I read that you can in some cases repair them by replacing the screw with a 4mm one for DIY shops (the thread is on here somewhere)

Remember Dxxxx owners keep your headphones on a stand.

I never understood how so many people break these. I had my D2k's in constant use for 7 months, I stepped on the cord and saw them plummet to the hardwood floor more times than I care to remember, and when they weren't in use they just laid on my desk. To this day they're in practically mint condition.
 

I had the same issue with my previous D2000 when it was out of warranty.

It's just Denon's poor design and quality control. I baby all my headphones and the D2000 is the only headphone I've ever had that broke by itself.

I was thinking about buying a pair of Denon's but I heard about earcups falling off and it scared me off, I'll stick with Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser, and Sony, I have yet to have a pair of headphones made by one of these "big three" fall apart on me. "Self Terminating" headphones are not how I like to roll. 

P.S. my Ultrasones feel pretty solid too....

Is there not an industrial fastener store around your area that might have the screws? Be sure not to just get any screw that is the same width, make sure the thread pitch is identical as well. But you most likely knew that already. 

you could also maybe consider making a screw , but that means rethreading a tiny rod with a tap and die type thread tool.

I even contacted Denon to ask if they could ship me the screw, as well as the other parts that keep together the headband and the headphone, but apparently they don't supply repair parts, and even if they did, they wouldn't ship them to Europe.

You're probably just gonna have to take this up with the seller of the item then, in that case...they should be responsible for it being broken in the first place.
