after picking these up a month ago i am so happy with them, their quality and depth is increadible, i am never giving these away...EVER

denon makes the best quality closed ear cans.  any cans that are higher than like 40 ohms would like an amp to open up their potential...you are looking in the wrong place if you want good highs mids, closed cans are always subpar to any open ear cans in mid-high quality......except denon, they...

yea, you hear the bass, i'm just sayin, ****ty source = ****ty listening experience, plus you shouldnt expect impactful thumping bass from open ear cans

i like mine.

I'm going twith the d600 music maniac DENON.

Yea, after having these I would never suggest them to someone who wants BASS..but the bass is still very defined and the range is great, but I have narrowed down to the one you mention the D2000, but also D5000, and AH D600 all from denon, i think denon makes the best bassy phones with quality...

I listen to music at levels that would kill a an average human

hey what $100 amp you think is good for the hd600 desktop

haha, well actually after listening to it on peak level like that for a couple hours it started to cancel out...getting too hot in the pc , so I had to turn it down, this is a good reason why i should have n external amp ahahahaha

denons dont need amps really...they have llow impedence.......in other words you dont need a huge amount of voltage goin into them from the source...ie. you dont need an amplification device...and in fact you could actually blow your phones out if you are using an amp trying to drive too much...
