I've been listening to the D2000 and there is just something about them I really like. I don't have the audio experience of many of the people on this forum so I can't accurately describe what I'm talking about. The closest words I can use are velvet, buttery, and warm. The music seems much more smooth and together than headphones where all instruments/vocals are very distinct. I can almost picture a wave of warm water washing over something.

Any there any other headphones like this? Doesn't matter if they are open or closed.

Thanks.

I'll start you off...

Sennheiser HD580, HD600 and HD650

 

[warpdriver]

just a question, if you like the sound why don't you just stick with them?

I wish the D2000/D5000 existed five years ago because it would have meant I would have skipped buying all those other headphones. I would have not bought Senn HD600/AKG K701/Beyer/Grado headphones if the D2000 existed.

How did the D2000 improve on the HD600?

 

[warpdriver]

I like the highs of the D2000 more than the HD600. They D2000 are just more dynamic and lively sounding.

Also I find the D2000 more comfy to wear

HD650s are definitely smooth.

They're a bit "fuzzy around the edges" too, which is a bit weird. Especially on cymbals. Dunno what it is, but it adds to the smoothness.

For the record, that is one of the best descriptions on cans, ever.

Stop making me want the D2000s!

My wallet hurts as-is.

Haha just sell your Sr80s and all you will have to dish out is an extra 140 or so

 

[malldian]

I am listening to so the D2000's now... simply amazing

 

[Lad27]

Darth Beyers are also very smooth and warm. Harder to drive than Denons though. If you like heaps of deep bass these are way to go.

You'd have to take my SR80s from my cold, dead hands.

I've never put this much home listening time into any other headphones. I'm absolutely loving them and considering upgrading along the Grado line, which is why I've narrowed it between the Denons and the SR325is, on Headroom's 30-day return if I really don't like whatever cans I settle on.

Looks like more savin' up for me.

Beyerdynamic DT770 are velvety, if you like bass.

I was just about to say the exact same thing.

beyers are dry. basing on dt990 2005 if 770s are similar then thats the opposite of the flowing juicy senns
