i just have to say... i had the pro 900's, got the blue dragon cable, thought that was the end-all-be-all, a month later got denon d7000's, and had listed the pro 900's on ebay... since then, while i dearly love the d7k's, i've listed, ended, listed, and ended again the auction for the pro...

:( i got mine for $688 as well... bestopdeals the seller for you? so far i've been really pleased, although when i put them down they kinda "slump" over to the left, but they sit on my head fine, swivel fine, and don't seem likely to explode... and the sound phenomenal. so far the savings have...

i was able to snag mine off ebay for 650 but i had to keep checking it multiple times a day. you never know what you'll find... 

quite. having never heard any of the other top-tier phones, i'm not really fit to compare them. i bet the LCD-2 would make me see the D7k's in a different way, and who knows, i might do that someday. for now, and for a while hopefully (hah. this is head-fi!) i'll be enjoying my D7k's. i'd need...

ive had he pro 900s + BD cable for about 2 months, about 500 hours burn in. ive had the d7000s for under a week, and well... my signature says it all. the thing that kept killing me about the pro 900s was how incredibly colored the sound was. i'm an EDM listener and that's probably 70% of what i...

the pelican is a really good idea, i have a 1520 that i use for my camera gear and it keeps my 5D mark II + 4 lenses and accessories safe from everything but nukes... i tried a friends 1200 today (the smallest they make) and i'd have to squish the D7k's much more than i want in order to close...

awesome replies, that's why i love head-fi  looking at various choices now. 

i've been thoroughly enjoying my D7000's and am about to travel. i was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a decently cheap, yet well-constructed case that isn't huge (my only issue with the nice box they came in is that it's just impractical for light travel...) so that it might fit in...

my short take is: worth the price? absolutely 100% NO. is it different than stock? IMO, definitively yes. is the difference i hear better? absolutely. again, worth the price? no. did i buy it, love it, and then end up selling it (and the pro 900s) because i got D7k's? yes.   everyone will...

i'm home from college for a bit and just picked up some D7k's. my mother was, for some odd reason, very upset to find that i'd spent the majority of the money i'd made working this past year on a pair of headphones, but i forced her to sit down and put them on. after close to 20 minutes of me...

i'm still a relative newcomer to all of this, and had no prior experience with the concept of burning in speakers or headphones. i got my pro 900's about 2 months ago and after 20 minutes of listening right out of the box i was all set to return them. the sibilance. the earpads were covered with...

this is also, unfortunately, why i am seriously considering selling both of my cans (pro 900 and 990/600) and getting denon d7000s. still haven't made my decision yet, but it may happen... if not only to see what they're all about. 

i switch headphones when i switch genres  but seriously though, IMO the blue dragon makes the pro 900 even LESS of an all-arounder than it started out being. godlier for techno/EDM, not so much for most other genres. honestly i'm not sure why you'd have the pro 900s at all unless EDM/hip...

Quote: ive been seriously thinking about either the u100 or the d100. ive been doing a lot of reading and the e7, for all its greatness, has, to say the least, many deficiencies... my thought is to pair the D100 with the E9, which would allow me to use optical out of the mac pro and...

interesting. i'll definitely keep doing research, and thanks for your input.   Quote:  

i'm highly considering this topic, D7K vs. LCD-2, especially as my hours at work have recently been extended = more $$ for toys  I'm satisfied enough with my current setup, Pro-900/Blue Dragon + E9 but i find myself loving/hating how colored the Pro 900's are. unbeatable for EDM, awful for...

ok you've made me want to spring for the silver pads. from what you've said it seems like silver pads + BD cable would be awesome. probably going to get them tonight    as to your question about the 2900 or 900, i haven't heard the 2900 but the only difference is that the 2900 is an open...

do the silver pads effect the other frequencies at all? i do like the idea of being able to "mellow out" the 900's if i want, as i still find myself going for the 990's to listen to rock, or when i want to really forget that i'm wearing headphones. so the idea of a slightly more balanced sound +...

ah true. i have noticed this has a huge impact on bass and soundstage, but didn't think to check that when i noticed the volume difference. i'll be sure to pay closer attention when i feel like i'm hearing it again.    Quote:  

that "to what extent" question is only one part of what's stopping me... i love the detachable because i take the pro 900's around with me a lot and use them with the mixamp + xbox for competitive halo and it's nice to be able to just screw in the 1/8th" cable and not think about it. the blue...

:) agreed. i think if you pick up the pro 900 and put it on after 3-400 hours of burn in and say "yuck" then the cable won't do anything for you. if you say, "wow...MOAR and BETTER!" then the cable is exactly what you need. i don't necessarily intend the pro900's to be my last pair of headphones...

just got my blue dragon from the kind UPS man and here are my initial impressions (been listening and A/Bing for an hour now):   - it took me a few times switching between the stock cable and blue dragon before i really got it. i was listening for something much more drastic than what i...

welcome :) i'm using the exact same setup as you right now and, like you, absolutely loving it. the 900's are definitely a bit (but only ever so slightly) recessed in the mids so i also EQ them. i have a few different ones, one for electronica with a mid and bass emphasis and a tiny dip in the...

again, that is just my opinion. i don't mean to troll on the A40 headset at all because it is quite solid and perfect for the on-the-go competitive gamer. its just that for roughly the price that i was able to sell my A40 headset for you can get a pair of 990/250's which, while not my first...
