Fidelio X2 vs Denon AH-D5000
Hello. I am currently looking to buy the Denon AH-D5000. I already own the Fidelio X2s. I love my Fidelio X2s, but I wonder how much of a step up, if any, the denon ah-d5000s will be in sound quality. I am mainly getting the denon for their heavy bass and great looks.- AudioThief

Mid tier headphones with Urbanite tier bass response?
Hello. I am looking to upgrade my Sennheiser Urbanites to an over ear design and just a different price class and hopefully much better sound.
