Well, I have the D2000 and D7000 (both stock) and the difference to me is that the D7000 has more detail thank's to a more pronounced treble and deeper bass. I do however slightly prefer the D2000 because of it's more forgiving nature (the D2000 is more fun to my ears). The treble of the D7000...

I'd be very interested in hearing your thoughts on how the D7000 work with the WA6. Considering that option myself ....

Budget is around a 1000 Euro or so.   I'm actually a bit concerned about my source, a Classé CDP-10. It has tons of impact and punch but is sometimes sounding a bit bright.   When I tried the HD-800 with my 18 year old Harman Kardon CD-player (from the headphone out) the HD-800 sounded...

Looking to buy an amp, primarily for use with Sennheiser HD-800. I have only a few ss amps at hand and there is no apparent synnergy with the HD800. In addition, I also feel that the pairing of my SS ampd with the Denon D7000 results in a slightly too prominent bass (probably due to the hp in...

I'm very surprised and thrilled by what these phones can do. I've been using closed headphones almost exclusively during the last 4-5 years, partly because I need the isolation at times but also because I find closed phones so much more fun to listen too. HD800 is punchy, has a very nice...

Go with the M50, I'm using my pair straight out of an iPOD and they sound excellent. In comparison, the M50 has the better midrange (at least unamped), the 780 tends to sound rather lean in the mids.

Does anyone know if JR ship outside of the US? If so, what's the web address? I'm very interested in trying these to see if they can match my Edition 9. At the prices you've been discussing here it's a no-brainer.

I ordered my DX1000 from PriceJapan and I have ordered another pair of headphones from them as well. No problems at all.

I'm having my pair on burn-in 24/7 since saturday. I liked the sound from the start and while they share some similarities with my E9's, as reported by others as well, they are IMO more similar to my HFI-450. Note that this is basically pre-burn in impressions, they may end up being closer to...

How did you guys order your ALO HFI-780? I can only find the stock HFI-780 on their site.

Quote: Originally Posted by Rickio I do think it is better for Rock then the Denon's and I own the D2000 as well and still like it but this Can, to me. is more suited to Rock as it has more forward mids and is a more aggressive sound, I just compared to D2000 and the D2000 sounded so...

I bought my HFI-450 from Qables, you'll find the link among the Head-Fi sponsors.

Quote: Originally Posted by Torzwo Thank you all very much. I will probably wait for a few more impressions and then go with RMC or NSL. Will anyone also be taking delivery of an HFI-680 to compare? I've been reading more about the 680 and since I'm not into overwhelming bass I...

Quote: Originally Posted by HeadphoneAddict Interestingly, I fell asleep with the PL2500 on, and woke briefly at 7am and they sounded flat and "off" at 82 hours. At 86 hours they sound good again. Are you sure it's not your perception and/or different music being played that...

Ive noticed that the new HFI models are listed on at least one web site (German). Does anyone know if they are available already? I'm thinking about getting myself a nice christmas present

Does anyone know why the violet version of the Cute beyond says Violet on the front plate? Does the red, blue and grey versions have the colour stated as well?

I've bought two headphones (AT's) from Bluetin and everything was very smooth. Highly recommended!!
