Can anyone tell me if the denon ah-d5000 has a tight clamping pressure on the head? I am quite skinny and rather small head, I find that most headphones fit loose on my head.  I like the way the mdr-7506 and the sennheiser hd650s fit,  Im looking to buy the ah-d5000 never tried them on my head...

Hi.   I'm looking for a good amp (max $400) for my Denon. I'm really into tubes so a tube amp or a hybrid would be nice.   I've looked on the forums and asked Schiit what they think. The forum says I should go for Asgard (which don't have tubes). It's a very strong amp (8-600ohm). And...

Hi Guys!,   I'm new to Head-Fi and thought I would start a new thread.   I currently own a pair of Denon AH-D5000's, for which I love everything about them, looks, comfort and feel, but most importantly of all sound!, to me these phones give my music an almost live sound with energy and...

I am new to the world of high end head-phone audio.  I have been perusing the forums the last week making my notes for a DAC/amp combo built around two head phone sets, the Denon AH-D5000 and the Sennheiser HD 650.  My budget for the DAC/Amp set is around $600.  My musical interests include...

Deciding to go up in the AH-D5000 seem like a good way to go. Also considering DT990.   I'm a bit scared after trying the hd518 to go with the sennheisers 598, 558 or the 600, 650 I like punch to the sound 'impact'.   the AKG 702's are a bit lean on bass apparently...Any other...

With the recent announcement of Denon doing away with the 5000/7000's it has kind of put my next set headphones on a accelerated path.   I was not figuring on doing this upgrade right now, and figured I had lots of time to search and make well informed decision. Well I tried searching on...

Alright, I'm trying to buy my first "higher-end" pair of headphones here. I've owned Bose Over the Ear headphones for over a year, and I know they're not regarded by members of this forum as good at all, but they've really helped open my eyes to how much better it is to have nice headphones.  ...

Hope you guys like seeing the D5000 next to the D7000.  Just got this so I hope it's worth owning.  Stay tuned for my impressions.  

Hello I don't seem to be able to find any sub £400 prices for this headphone at the moment or any sub £500 prices second hand for the D7000 too. Does anyone know of somewhere I've perhaps not noticed yet which can get me these for under that budget? I'm purchasing tomorrow or Saturday so bit...

Hello guys. I am about to buy a denon d5000 but I fear my ipod+e11+copper lod won't be enough.    Do you you think this is enough to properly drive it, or would you suggest something better than fiio 11 (in the same price range)

Hi,   I've been trying to find my answer to this and whilst there has been some mention of it, I can't seem to find the definitive answer.   I have the Denon AH-D5000 and use them with the Fiio E7/E9 Combo. The question is should I be plugging them into the 3.5mm jack or the 6.35mm jack...

Whats good guys?   i am new to all of this, with top class headphones and amps and all. i enjoy music alot, and cant settle for less when it comes down listening to them, listen to trance heavily and instrumental, thts why i bought ahd5000, if any of you have it, its just amazing when you...

Have an opportunity to upgrade my D5000 to D7000. My only concern is if D7000 is harder to drive than D5000. Can somebody who has driven both of them tells me the answer?

After several days of reading and planning, I recabled my Denon D5000 headphones this weekend. For those interested, here is a step by step of how I did it.   Before I begin, I must give credit to these threads (here, here and here) that helped me prepare for the job. I hope my efforts can...

Hey all.  I know a lot of people have already posted written reviews on this topic, but I thought I'd do a short video review on Youtube, and post a link here.  Apologies in advance for the amateur quality of the video.  I'm new at this, and I'm just using my computer's i-sight built-in camera...

Hello,   I just bought the Denon AH-D5000, and they sound great, ofc. =)) But i noticed one thing, there's that "shhhhhhh" sound in the background, and it's most noticeable in the silence parts of the music (like 2\4 sec between instruments or so).   I thought first it's because of the...

I just bought and ah-d5000. I need some suggestions for the following:   1. Good case. Am surprised that for the price it did not come with a case:(   2. Good amp. Am currently using a portable e7. I am wondering what better amp i can use for it. budget is 200 bucks nothing more.  ...

Hey guys!  Glad I joined the community...I recently picked up a pair of AKG F550's. I've watched a few reviews on youtube, read posts on this forum and I was sold on them. I got my package today, gave them a listen and they sounded incredible...I just want a little more bass. I returned them...

I shouldn't say doesn't work entirely, but if I don't use the headphones for a good period of time (say a day or two) the left channel starts to work again for about 30 minutes or so, then it just completely stops working.  Sometimes when I fiddle with my amp and turn it up higher I can bring...

hey, Living where I do it's really hard to listen to stuff before getting it, especially everything headphone related. I have almost no experience with any headphones besides my HD-600's. However, I got the chance to audition a wide range of high-end speakers in a few hi-fi shows and I have...

My denons hinges squeaks whenever i swivel the cups. It doesnt affect the sound but its annoying when handling it. Is there anyway to fix this?

Hi !   First of all, i'm french, so apologize my faults please ! :)   So, i'm now with a Grado PS500, i love all its qualities BUT, sometimes it's sibilant and i think it is too cold .. There is no infra bass and i prefer bass a little bit heavy or less speed (i don't have the right word...

Hi, last year I owned a pair of V-Moda LPs I purchased for $79 and I loved them. They were stolen a few months ago, and I'm looking to replace them. I realize a similar value may not be had, but I'm looking at replacing them with one of the following 7 (I listen to a variety of music: hip-hop...

Hi!   First post on this forum, it's a bit confusing here (and I accidently deleted my avatar picture... ). But now the important stuff:   What I have: -sources: iPod nano RED 16GB (6th generation), Creative ZEN 100 32GB, Samsung Galaxy Note, Asus Transformer TF-300T -headphones...

I am just wondering how will $500 iems such as the westone 4, um3x or se535 would compare with the similar priced headphones like the hd650/600, he400, or denon d5000? would iems sound better or worse? i know they are totally different but as of right now, i am very confused on what should i...
