Wow, thanks for the great replies, guys! I've been reading reviews around the internet; just based on what I've read, the Pro 750 seem to have a better track record with comfort than others, so if I was going Ultrasone I'd probably go for the 750. So, between the DT770, the D2000, and the...

I've been reading the Ultrasone 900 thread for a bit, and it seems like they don't hold up nearly as well for genres outside of electronic. While I do listen to tons of DnB and house, I still enjoy rock and classical; would this mean that the D2000 or DT770 would be a better pick?

I'm considering buying a pair of 900's...even though they'r.cheap from buyauthorized I wouldn't mind saving by  getting 750's...how much would I be downgrading? I have similar tastes in music to the  OP.

Just a quick question; how deep are the cups on the Ultrasones? I've heard that the Denon has pretty deep earcups.

Hey all! It's been quite a while since I've been on Head-Fi, but once again I'm looking to buy a pair of headphones. For a long time I've been using my beloved Bowers-Wilkins 686 desktop speakers for my main audio setup, but due to college-related moving I'll be without them for a significant...

bring up my post.

Personally I didn't find the plastic Grados uncomfortable at all. They were so light (especially in comparison with my massive hulking Rolands) that they pretty much just hung gently over my head, only lightly touching my ears. Granted the metal backing of the MS2 might change that. Only...

Hey guys, some of you may remember me from a while back. I currently own a pair of RH200, and I like them. But despite that fact, I can't ever seem to bring myself to listen to them. I'm always running through my ancient Infinity SS2001 bookshelf speakers. Certainly not because of the sound...

any specific suggestions? the m-audio delta 44 looks pretty good but I'm unsure of the connections...it says it takes balanced TRS but they aren't stereo right? so I would have to get a single TRS to single RCA, and with 2 stereo outs and 1 stereo in being used practically the whole thing would...

okay. I think I forgot to mention (and forgot to consider) that I need at least 2 stereo outputs and at least 1 stereo input. RCA is nice but if I have to use TRS that's no big deal. Still not sure of which card to choose.

at least thanks for the clear up, most consumer sites make it very unclear...

bump please.

The holiday season is approaching, and you know what that means: time to get new stuff. As much as I love my Xmod, I think an upgrade is in order. I have the ability to install an internal PCI sound card (read: not PCIe since I don't have any x1 slots) so I figure I may as well. Since I'm using...

hope everything turns out okay...

I also have an eye on some HD600 so the opinions in this thread are interesting. Does anyone know how they would compare to say, the D2000? From what I'm reading the HD600 are overall better than the K501 which I had considered at one point in time.

Lexicon Alpha | Sweetwater.com Does anyone have any experience with one of these? It looks like a solid low-budget DAC (with the added benefit of being usable as a very basic recording interface with one XLR mic and an instrument input.) I know Lexicon makes pretty good products, but I...

bump. debating still between D2000 and HD600, but the Denon fits better into my budget. the amp I'm likely to buy is the Darkvoice 336i.

Either way I'm certain I prefer "warmth" to "brightness". Just something about that warm sound is very appealing to me. Any further amp suggestions? The Darkvoice looks pretty appealing (much cheaper than I thought...my idea was that they were all as expensive as the 337) but the shipping is...

Hmm, I'm hearing that the Figaro is not available in 110V. This would be a problem since I live in America.

EDIT: Sure enough, the DV 336 would just sneak into my budget. The Figaro would fit better even with the ridiculous shipping from China. How would they sound with the D2000?

Since this is likely a better place to post than the portable amp forum, I'm starting a new thread. My next purchase is very likely to be a D2000, though it could possibly be an HD600 since I've heard the leakage isn't bad. Right now the only "amp" I have is an old Denon stereo receiver which...

Apparently the Futuresonics Atrio M5 has unbelievable bass for IEMs and they cost well within your budget, around 200$ US. If you intend to order these you may also want to purchase some other tips, apparently the stock tips are awful. The Shure SE310 may also be a good consideration; they...

Bump. edited OP, please read.

If that's your opinion on the HD600, congratulations on influencing one of my future purchases. How would you say this compares to the Denon D2000?

Quote: If I was looking for a midpriced "one & only" rig, it would be a HD600 or 650 and a desktop amp. My choice would be a DV332, but a M^3 is a suitable and lower maintanence option. I'd turn down the volume when sound leakage (which isn't that much) was an issue. This is critical...
