100+ Head-Fier
I've been looking at the ATH-AD2000's and there's not much info on them on here, except for some mixed reviews on them. I've read quite a bit on them and thought that they best described what I'd like from my music. But after reading a few of info of them on here, some say they're overpriced, some say they sound better than the Senn HD600's, some say they're similar to the AKG K701s, some say they're the best in this price range, which all kinda made me a bit skeptical.
Basically, I'm just looking for a headphone with a wide soundstage, which is one important factor for my listening pleasures. It doesn't have to be very wide, but just enough so I can tell the instrument separation. I want to be surrounded by music. I want to be in a 6th row seating in the concert, NOT on stage with the band. Bass is also another factor. Doesn't have to be strong, but needs tightness as well as some impact, with a little coloration but flows well with the music. I also like smooth sounding mids, and highs has to be clear can't be harsh sounding.
I can spend upwards to a little over $600 if there's a headphone in that price range that best fits what I've said above. I've read about the bass on the AD2000's and some say they wanted more. As long as they punchier than my AD700's (which I think actually improved after over 200 hours burn in), or even the AD900's (which I don't have), that's great. Also, some have said the soundstage isn't very wide. For those experienced with the AD700's as well as the AD2000's, would the soundstage be better on the AD2000's or worse than the AD700's? Otherwise, let me know of any other options of headphones within the $500 price range. My music is mostly Trance, 80's rock and power ballads, ambient, some classical, and acoustic.
Thanks Head-Fi and sorry for another topic concerning headphones in a specific price range!
