The price is quite nice to purchase this pair from the Amazon UK. The sound is not bad, which gives you enough feeling of the space. But without a good amp, I guess the space is a little 'void'. For example, the symphony, you would feel that you are sitting a little too far away from the orchestra. The plastic feeling is not that good, especially it creaks sometimes. But it does not really matter if you focus on the music.

Hi TommyZhu, these cans deserve a decent amp and really do sound rather good when used as such. I built the "$25 valve hybrid" amp mentioned in HeadFi last year (actually, I built two, one near stock and the other with Black Gate and Nichicon Muse capacitors, a top class Analogue Devices dual AD825 opamp board in the output and silver wiring) and this amp is just perfect with the Denon AH-D1000/1001s. It actually performs so well, that my Sennheiser HD650's have had little use for some months (they are useless with this particular amp) even with their own amp. There's just something about this combo that is so musically addictive, despite their slight over warmth in the mid bass and less overall fine detail. A good amp, like the Corda 2Move and the valve hybrid bring out the best in these cans while allowing you to ignore any limitations due to price, they are simply too much fun to listen too. Hope you are able to hear them at their best one day, cheers.
