Hi Chris! Thanks for helping! Between the R70x (ATH's version of HD600) and the AD1000 I believe the AD1K would be closer to the AD900. R70x seems really nice to work with (mix, production, monitoring and checking), but "tasteless"... "vanilla"... While the AD1000 even though differing a bit...

Thanks!!!! I'm not a huge fan of equalizing, even though some HPs responds well, but some sound "unnatural" as if they were "stubborn sounding like themselves" (specially upper mids and highs... sometimes they loose a bit of their "brightness"/sparkle, some even getting "more veiled" (I won't...

You mean an equalizer to improve what?

That's mean!!! :sweat_smile: While I'm dreaming about the AD2000 you don't even consider listening to them... Which cans are you using? (I'd tell the joke: "the ugliest chicks are the ones who go further..." but it's lousy lousy lousy... so, I won't !) I believed taht being that much...

Please do... I'd like to return the favor... IF you can, try the AD2000... then run to tell me (and thank me! - at least, so far they're MY dream cans...)

I'd have to trick the customs.... declare a lower value, use those "redirecting shipping" services and so on... everething to trick them... otherwise, If I get caught I'd probably loose all the money.... I din't know how this importing through a shop would work regarding the taxes... they...

Thanks !!!!! Would you know how they compare to the ATH AD2000?

I believe the R70X is more to the HD600 side... more like ATH trying to make their HD600.... Don't know if they would be an upgrade even from the AD1000..... Budget is around 500usd..... I could save more if worths.... this will be my only HP for years from now.... it's worth investing...

People!!! It's said that helping blind people helps you to go to heaven..... (is this even motivation nowadays?)

I'm aware about the price...... I haven't seen any as well... but first of all I must decide wich HP to buy, as mentioned above, here I pay at least 4 times the USA price.... so, making a mistake (even worse as I'm buying unheard) would be very bad....

I couldn't be more grateful! I'm aware the ATHs are quite peculiar in their sound signature... I've been hunting other HPs with the measurements in hands to compare..... but thing is the paper tells just a small part of the storie..... I wo'nt be able to audition the headphone... I'll have to...

Could you please share which other forums I could look for? I've always beem a Head-Fi "loyal" reader...so... the more forums, the better, so that I can research more and evolve more.. Thanks!!!

You were MORE THAN GREAT!!!! Thanks for all your time and trouble to help me out!!! About the Elex, I know they're great, but thing is if it's sound signature wouldn't be much far from the AD900.... On the HiFiman Side I've considered the SUNDARAs.... any comparisson between them and the...

That's the way I'm going....coming from an AD900 it seemed "natural".... bullseye! I thought about the DT990s and the DT1990s as well.... would the DT990 be a propper upgrade or more of a sidegrade? Would the DT990 be as far from the DT1990 to justify 5 times the price?

It's said the T1 2nd are better... no? I thought about the DT990s and the DT1990s as well.... Would the DT990s be a propper upgrade? Would the DT990 be as far from the DT1990 to justify 5 times the price?

OBS: What others consider "piercing" I probaly won't, but I'm not deaf or insensible As I've almost haven't seen anyone asking about sharp detailed bright mid foward cans and all the rest, it was hard to gather options around... (people seem to care about their hearing... — A little background...

I'm aware the AD2000 are not known first hand by many, so I ask those who do know them to help me out... Coming from a happy marriage with a AD900... The price difference can be stretched if it's worth... LOVE the AD900, but was told AD2K have a different sound signature (not a "direct...

I've been reading about the Focal Elex... Anyone can compare the AD2000 to them? (It seems I'm alone in here...)

Researched A LOT here before asking... (230hs+ , I've done my homework before opening a new thread on something previously dicussed) There are some threads talking about it (AD900 are trully great, but not that many heard it), but I couldn't gather the information I'm looking for (For the same...

.

people? Can someone else try to help?

You've kept the AD2000 dream alive....!!! I wish you reviewed more "accessible" headphones... great reviews.... but I can only drool....

I'm already subscribed to you channel......!!!!!!!! After this I watched your Sextet review... (you really like them!!!) I've seen many AD2000 posts of yours..... (many people talk about them, but you HAD one.... what is completely different...) Have you heard the AD900??? COuld you please...

I'm aware ATH's signature is quite particular.... For what I know R70x are ATH's HD600... but they came short on that... Beyers appeal to me, but I've heard their're more "smooth" than the ATHs... (even though having swiss alp pikes)... As to the HD800, they're too much far away to stretch...
