slightly bassy with good performance on guitars = grado hf2 sounds about right, but it's more expensive

denon d2k - bleargh! (-1) that's all I have to say

First time I ever heard Grado = Bassy (in any way), and D2000 "bleargh".  As confucius once say, man who live in closet should stay in closet.

Translating, the HF2 is a little bassier than neutral but has good speed and definition (and a slight midbass hump) while the denon bass quality sucks. As in Grados go boommm and Denons go bleargh.

Also, the best headphone around 300 is still the good old HD600.

This is always relative to some kind of preference, isen´t it?

No, my opinion is the only one that matters.

Oh, sorry, I didn't know! In that case your most certainly right

Then it's settled, whatever I said, I said it myself.

Phew, how I do love *to avoid* a nice confrontation. If I dare, I would still recommend that the TS audition the D2000, cause I really do believe they do suite his requirements. I just got the Focal Spirit One today as well, and they are also a very decent performer that is worth a listening. Nice tight bass, maybe not just as low as the D2000, and clear in the top. If isolation is important for you the Focal is way better than Denon btw. A keeper for me.

*UPDATE*
Finally I bought DENON AH-D600, thanks for everyone.
