I just took a quick look at that (costly) DAC and was wondering if it's easy for a simplton to use and would such a thing even make sound coming from my Imac better? I"m willing to get one if they really do great things (even though I"m not sure I've ever heard of them before). Also, I in...

THANKS EVERYBODY!! I'm a-gonna do a bunch of things (including sleep:-) and then really give your suggestions a good lookover and do the Internet research to get plenty of info and see what happens. I do have quite a few CDs so I think I'm good in that regard. I didn't know Best Buy was...

I soon will be getting my Denon D2000s in the mail and was wondering what would be cool to buy at Best Buy or Circuit City or some place else that will go nicely with these fine headphones that will soon arrive? I have an Imac that I plan to use them with (YouTube) and a nice sounding...

Thanks everyone!! I should be getting mine within the next 3 or 4 days, I'm guessing. Can't wait!!

I read a review the other day in which the fellow doing the review gave them high marks but said that he was turned off a bit because somewhere around the fourth day of using them one of the ear cups (or something) fell off. And I seem to recall a couple of you folks saying something similar ...

Yeah; I sorta thought so.

I wonder if with these D2000s on the way if listening to music off YouTude will be much of a great joy? Or does that type of output lean towards the low side in the quality department even with great cans?

Thanks All for the GREAT replies! I'm looking forward to getting these cans, hopefully by Saturday. I will break them in with a good amount of pink noise and that'll be it until I figure out which amp to get. It's funny that when I was researching those Bose QC2s, I was swayed largely...

Good!

Thanks sir! I hope that I'll be happy with mine when I get them. I suppose I'll have to one day see about shelling out for a reworked cable (as people say that's a good idea, even at $200 a pop, ouch!) and, too, I'll have to look into a good amp to complete the package. I'm glad to hear...

Thanks guys! I'll take the plung and go with the Denons. But may I ask how much does it cost to get the cables redone? And does the sound improve enough to make it worth it? Again, Thanks!

Which is better? Sorry, don't mean to be a hog by posting twice in one day, but methinks this question will give me a better sense of how good the Denons are. The Bose was the only expensive headphone I've ever owned, and it had the noise quieting feature which was nice. And so I'd like to...

Thanks for responding. I read it over on the next page on a thread started by Andrew_WOT. I was reading through a lot of the posts there last night and then started jumping around reading them out of order. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hi All!! I was reading a long, long thread over on page 2 about said headphones and noticed that it got to where people were saying that they were removing the cushions to get better sound. And then as time went on the whole conversation about them seemed to peter out. And so because I am...

Hello All! It's me, I'm back. Several months ago I was visiting this wonderful website and was getting the goods on what you knowledgeable folks thought of the Bose CQ 2s I'd bought (as I know nothing about nothing). And of course you folks told me they weren't worth the money and that I...

I forgot to mention ... I actually joined Consumer Reports for a year's subscription just so I could mainly have at their headphone reviews (before deciding whether or not to send the Bose back). What a joke! They listed Bose QuietComfort2's at number one but only had a half dozen or so others...

Got them in the mail before their "Excitement Guarantee" trial period expired. I listened to the "experts" in this place in the end, and not all those others at other places on the Internet whom gave so many glowing reviews on them. I also couldn't get past the fact that my $20 Sony MDR-150s...

I made a boo boo. I said the voice recorder I got was a Sony DS-30 when I meant to say that it's a Olympus DS-30. Please forgive.

I wonder if I send my Bose back if they'll give me a refund once they discover that I erased all but one of the songs on the mp3 player they included in the deal? I would think they would but you never know.
