A GLite or dynalo would drive it pretty nicely. And it does do pretty well for gaming. What are you looking to spend?

I'd definitely be interested. If the date works out I'll bring a bunch of my gear along!

Whoa I've been out of the loop for a while. I really wish I hadn't sold my modded denons now.

No me gusta.   I found them to have overwhelming, uncontrolled boomy bass, extremely recessed mids, and somewhat sparkly highs.   What I did like about them was comfort, soundstage (for a closed can), and build quality. They also isolate reasonably well too. If movies (and games) were my...

I've heard the 580, 780 and HD25-1 and I have to agree with Proglover on rock music and the 580/780. IMO they were much better suited towards electronic music while the HD25s did better with rock if my memory serves correctly. The 580s are very agressive though with a big treble and bass but...

I'm a college student and I work internships during the summer and in a research position during the school year. I've also been saving almost everything since I was 9 and I have a couple of investments from dabbling in the stock market. I also bargain hunt and fix up and sell things in my spare...

"Anyone around here try the W1000X with gaming?" -maverickronin   Sorry, I'm having trouble with quoting. I currently have the W1000X's and have tried them with gaming but I haven't done any in depth analysis as of yet. I'm a little busy at the moment but I think I can manage a good listen...

Thank you for the heads up and congrats on the job! It sounds like a nice setup.

Not really sure why you can't see it...

My bad. It's short for solid state.

I always thought they did very well with SS amps. My GLite (dynalo design) does a fantastic job with them. As for running unamped they actually do much better than I thought they would. They are one of the only cans that I can't see me selling at some point.

Quote: I personally would go with the DT990s for gaming and movies unless you need some sort of isolation. From what I remember the Sones (Pro650/750) did well with gaming but not to the level of the DT990s. Still it has been awhile since I've listened to either so take that with a grain of...

I tried a pair out but they came across as more sterile and trebley than the K701. Don't get me wrong they are technically proficient and insanely quick but they just weren't my cup of tea.

Whoa I just noticed this thread. Great writeup! Thanks for taking the effort to put this together. Your thoughts mirror my own on most of the cans I've had. I definitely agree on your findings with the K701. I recently repurchased a K701 as my main gaming can. I still need to give the LCD-2 a go...

Quote: What he said. I would like to give the MS-Pro a try someday though.

Well if you're going unamped, I'd suggest getting something other than the D2000. While I really liked it when I had it (especially modded) you end up wasting it's potential without other equipment.

I felt an amp was almost a necessity with the D2000s. The bass was somewhat boomy and uncontrolled when unamped but tightened considerably with proper amplification. How will you be using these? I'll also throw in the Sennheiser HD25-I II in the mix. What kind of music do you listen to? Would...

I spent around $250 for a pair on here.

Quote: Same. I really don't have anyone to pull for this time around.

Done and done. Good luck with your project!

Quote: Yep. You have to fill out the order form. I guess your email must've fallen through the cracks. I've had very good response times from them with the exception of one email. http://www.audeze.com/contact/

Quote: It was exceedingly useful as it gave me plenty of time to prepare for the enemy. In MW2, I combined it with Sit Rep Pro and it was freakish. It does take some getting used to but after you have it nailed down it's divine. I will say the AT AD2000 was very good for gaming too although...

Quote: I do too!   Anyway I guess I should make a positive contribution to this thread. I've tried a lot of the cans on the list you've given and so far nothing really touches the K701s. They give you a scary heads-up on where enemies are with plenty of time to position yourself...
