Nice review.

Poor denon

Now officially dubbed DREnon. Tsk tsk...

ikr... terrible to hear this >.> and right after the D7000 got retired

Night Crawler: They are still miles beyond anything Beats by Dre has to offer.

Maybe so but, the D7000 had a Magic attached to it! An it's a shame that the 7100 has lost that magic. But I'm sure the AH-D600 might be a worth while invest ment :3

Yep, not a huge fan of the D5000 but the D7000 has it's charm thats for sure. They actually remind me of the STAX SR-007 through the midrange, but with the signature of a dynamic (more bite). The 007 is superior in every way (especially openness) but I think they both have a very smooth and laid-back yet enjoyable signature. The D7000 doesn't have the firm grip and extension in the bass of the LCD-2 and the treble sounds slightly bright to me but otherwise I like it.

The D7100 doesn't stand a chance in any way but comfort.

Is there any Burn-in time for these headphones. Personally I am finding the bass to be overpowering and forward. Great review. Which I would have read it before I bought them. My only other headphone is He-500 to compare.

Ok to answer my own question the D7100 has a burn-in time of around 100hrs. I would like to ask the reviewer how much time did he spend with them? For me they have changed a lot since I bought them. I am now at 70hrs. The bass is no longer overpowering in any way. The mid's and high's are detailed. The vocals are awesome. I would say they are now better than my HE500's.

I tried them at two occasions fairly briefly, both times comparing them to my D600.

I defenitly argee with kasimoa! Some headphones needs to be burn-in. D5000 needed 400+ to open the sound afer that totaly different headphones.
For the first time i listen to D7100 in Denons hi-fi shop. They sounded so great. When receved my own pair brand new they sounded just fine but not that good laki this one in the Hi-Fi shop. I new wha i have to do... 12h of music + 12h of frequency loop (20Hz - 20 kHz) + 12h of pink noise and voila! Beautifull sounging headphones. I pretty sure that they will keep chainging thay sound signature but probably not so much like the D5000 did because on thise one burnin-in effect is much faster. They sound fantastic rigt from the iPod Classic 5 generation. I highly recommend this headphones.

burn in = "totally different headphones" yeah right, come back when you can prove it.
 
Always the excuse when someone buys a headphone that is getting critisized, oh you didn't burn it in enough or you need to buy a better set up.
