    Best closed can for classical (under $400)?

    I listen to mostly classical and am happy with my D5000s but that is the extent of my collection.

    Getting "called-out" for not wearing the Beats

    I've worn my D5000s in public just for grins.  Not very practicle but fun.

    How do D2000s sound without an amp?

    I listen to my iPhone, computer, etc with my D5000s. They sound great and I would expect the D2000s to as well.

    Is it true? A question to everybody on head-fi.

    If I'm wearing in-ears and I can hear your in-ears across the room, over my music, then yes, you will damage your hearing. It has nothing to do with in-ear or over ear.

    Would you buy the B&W p5 because they sounded good when you audition them or buy something else on faith?

    I just can't recommend the p5. When these came out I wanted them to have the magical B&W speaker sound. This just isn't the case. I agree with others that it is a good headphone at a much lower price. A majority of us are in the same predicament where we can not test gear before buying because...

    Getting "called-out" for not wearing the Beats

    Speaking of Best Buy, I noticed they have restocked along with Walmart. Walmart appears to have expanded the lines they carry. The Beats factory must be running 24x7.

    Good headphones to complement D5000?

    Interesting that you find the bass fatiguing on the D5000. Perhaps it is the music you listen to? I am looking for a nice open headphone as my second purchase after the D5000.

    How are Beats by Dr. Dre?

    Not ear aches but I do get fatigued quickly. I do not like noise canceling at all. Just another gimmick.

    If you take away all restrictions, would you still buy headphones?

    No restraints? Speakers and headphones!

    Need opinions about headphones, and speakers.

    Thanks tribestros, you have ruined the floor standing 800s for me. I never noticed it before.

    Bose AE2 Review - Comfort and Build Quality

    I agree, the quality of their home audio and the endless gimicks have tarnished the company, possibly beyond repair. Their headphones would be okay for the above stated uses if they were in the $25-50 range. The current pricing is laughable. They are clearly trying to take full advantage of any...

    Need opinions about headphones, and speakers.

    I would not call it settling. Speakers and headphones are just different.

    Can't decide between full size or in ear? Help appreciated.

    Which is more important, size or sound. Based on what you stated above and the price range, the Denon D2000 might be an option but they are on the bigger side.   It is a shame it is so hard to audition good headphones. I suspect that you would not like the Soul or Bose if you could hear the...

    Denon D2000/D5000, MD2000/MD5000 Thread!

    Bought D5000s as my Christmas gift to myself. These are my first pair of headphones and wow, did I step into a new world. These are great headphones even when plugged into an iPhone. Can't wait to build a full rig.   I have not heard a lot of phones yet but if they get better than the D5000...
