From what ive read and understand the AD2000 are suited to SS amps rather than tubes.   What im asking is what amps do people think are suited to the AD2000s ?   These will be used with all genres of music but mainly rock/metal/hip-hop/electronic.   Maybe different suggestions in...

I read both reviews and beyond recommendations from the users here on Head-Fi, I don't know what I want to purchase.   It seems like that the 800 headphone is good for every type of music, while the AD2000 is good for any progressive music, something like rap, rock, trance/electronic music...

I am looking for an iem with somewhat punchy bass that has a sound signature close to those two headphones. Ive been mainly looking into ER-4pt mainly but I hear they are quite outdated now and I have ever tried low budget shures( as far as iems go) and would like to spend about 250$-280$ max on...

So I may be in the market for a new dac and looking for some suggestions. Right now my set up is primarily a Yulong D100 dac and my Violectric V200 amp. Both headphones sound quite good out of this setup and doesn't leave much to be desired. However I am paranoid as I sold my budget dac (which I...

Opinions?

I'm on a quest of sorts to try and find some more comfortable and good sounding pads for the AD2000, but it's not like I can afford to buy and try a bunch of different pads that may cost anywhere up to $100 and have an unpredictable effect on the sound. So I need help. If there was anyone nearby...

Hello,   I am looking to find what would be a "current" (as in currently available in todays market) Desktop Amp and DAC that would pair well with the ATH-AD2000.   I now there are other threads about this topic, but I have found that they are all EXTREMELY outdated.   Any...

Is this a good idea? + recable + leather earpads

Like the title says, I'm going to be putting AD2000 drivers in my AD900 headphones. Why, you may ask? Because I purchased the drivers for $94 directly from Audio Technica, and I don't want to dish out $600 for a pair of headphones.   Here's some pics right now of my problem. Any ideas on...

Anyone know how to disassemble these headphones? Want to give the ear muffs a clean...tried to just pull off the ears muffs but no go, its somehow attached.

Just wanted to know the local price of them, in Yen. Also, is the AD2000 now discontinued and replaced with the AD2000x? And the AD2000x is still in production?   Thanks

Ok, I didn't mean to blaspheme. I do like my HE-400s, I just don't always *love* them. I first got them a week ago and the 'wow' factor was stunning with what I started with. Sam Cooke? I nearly fell out of my chair. Joao Gilberto? Jaw-dropping. Curtis Mayfield, Waylon Jennings, Yo-Yo Ma, Nick...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a pair of headphones or IEMS that have a VERY forward and outgoing midrange that justs rips through your ears. It has to sound good for acoustics too. I listen to the Piano Guys a lot, and I really love Carol of the Bells.

I've been listening to my Sennheiser HD 650's and Hifiman he-400's for a while now. But I really want to know if the He-500's are worth the price tag/upgrade. I plan on using this on my Hisound Studio 3rd anniversary. Are the He-500's hard to drive? Do they require more power than my He-400. and...

The highlight of this Autumn's festival came not while I was in Tokyo, but, funnily enough, on the way out. As I looked out the window as we flew out of Tokyo, I noticed we were heading in the direction of Mt Fuji. The plane then banked slightly and I feared that our course would change, for I...

This is loaner #1 (of 6) of my Loaner Program, for the ATH-AD2000. My favorite headphones, and prohibitively expensive for a lot of people, so in order to help spread the appreciation and information of these generally unknown headphones, 7 people were subjectively selected to review them for...

With only a few more days in 2007 left, I thought I'd put my audio experience acquired over the past year to some use to share what I think are the best of the best for headphone hi-fi. Not all these products came out in 2007 but all are still available on the market. These are, of course, my...

Intro This mini-review covers my thoughts on the Schiit Lyr vs HeadAmp GS-X in balanced mode, specifically for the Audeze LCD-2 r2 (with additional comments on the Senn HD800 and Audio-Technica AD2000 as well). Why these two amps? Because I already had the GS-X and was curious to find out...

Intro The dynamic open headphones market is one of the most competitive in headphones, and it's thanks to this competition that's produced what I like to call the "terrible trio" of the AKG K701, Beyerdynamic 2005/06 DT880, and Sennheiser HD650. A trio indeed, and it'd have to take a beast of...

I'm currently deciding between these three headphones for mainly rock and metal. A lot of people have said the T5p and the T70p sound awful for rock and metal due to the lack of bass, but I plan on EQing the bass with either an iphone or a fiio E17 amp. It seems like both beyers have an...

I've gotten to demo quite a few cans, and was curious what might be considered an "upgrade" from the 840's. So far, I have gotten to sample the K701's, DT770's, AD2000's, and the HD598's; all of which I found to be slightly less desirable than the 940's

I've heard some interesting things about the AD2000. People say that they are one of the best heasphones in the world when matced with the right amp and DAC. It is also said to have one of the best mid presentations out there, and Im looking for a headphone with really good mids. What amp and...
