Denon ADH-2000 carrying case
bring this thread back from the dead. I can confirm that with some cutting of the foam they fit the denon dx0000 cans just fine. cutting involved: 1 - removed the foam where the cables connect to the cups, so that the connection doesn't press right up against the foam. 2 - cut out a...- finchouse

FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought
E17 FIRST IMPRESSIONS (after 30min) I'm an audiophile noob, and this is my firs dac/amp combo. I'm currently running them: windows7 -> foobar -> wasapi -> e17 -> d5000 the biggest changes I noticed right away (vs using just the computer 3.5mm out) are: - bass is tighter. drums sound...- finchouse

Denon 2000, confused with amp/dac info
that's an interesting point. I've got an e17 on order, and didn't even think about this. I"m hoping some of the more veteran members can comment here. subbed- finchouse

Denon 5000s on craigslist...
Quote: agreed. even if they're repainted D2ks, that's a great price. watch out for any defects on the ear pads, and especially the screw that connects the cups to the headband.- finchouse

Denon Officially Announces Its New Headphones!
another thing that I noticed hasn't been mentioned (at least in this thread) is that the new design will likely eliminate the screw issue I read about. seems like a more integrated way to keep the cup portions from breaking away from the band.- finchouse

Denon Officially Announces Its New Headphones!
Perhaps, but personally I don't know where to buy beats except at big box retailers like bestbuy, walmart, target, etc. Most of the people (hell, even the workers) at these stores haven't done research and know little to nothing about how to truly gauge a product's true performance and...- finchouse

Denon Officially Announces Its New Headphones!
I totally agree. If it were my decision, I would keep the existing line as is, and create a new subsidiary brand name for the new cans. It's just such a departure from current market image. toyota has scion. denon should have deNOwayI'mgoingtobuy- finchouse

Denon Officially Announces Its New Headphones!
I'm in the same boat as many of you, I don't really like the beats look or design myself. I much prefer the current, classic, design. Of course though, I'm willing to bet that >90% of skullcandy or beats purchasers don't frequent this forum (probably out of fear of ridicule, but who knows?)...- finchouse

Denon Officially Announces Its New Headphones!
From a business and product management perspective, this makes perfect sense. It's impossible to ignore the success of beats, with their marketing, even taking into account their appearance/price/likely high margins. In a lesser vein, look at skullcandy, who has managed to capture a fair...- finchouse

Denon Officially Announces Its New Headphones!
so if I'm reading this correctly: ONLY the D7100 artisan will have mahogany cups? D5ks are going to be in high demand if the only way to get wood cups on the new line is to shell out $1k+ USD.- finchouse

Audio Technica M50
if this is your first audiophile headphone, find them on sale (around $120). good isolation, great build quality, but be prepared for a million other suggestions for cans at that price range.- finchouse

Hey ATH-M50 owners, can you help me with a few questions? :v
I'm amazed sometimes by the number of people that buy tech and don't read the manual, or at least the features list on the box.- finchouse

Hey ATH-M50 owners, can you help me with a few questions? :v
you'll likely be very happy with the headphones right out of the computer 3.5mm jack. without a new soundcard. my recommendation is that if you're going that route, going with a dac/amp gives you more... versatility. same concept, different form factor.- finchouse

if it's not too late, return the soundcard or cancel the order, and get a usb dac/amp instead.- finchouse

Headphone Recommendation for under $200
d2k are a bit fragile for travel, one drop and that cup is coming off the band. while many may think it's overprice, the ath-m50 can be had online for ~$130, are built rugged, and will run fine without an amp from a portable player.- finchouse
