I've run my new pair of D7000's for about 30 or so hours and finally had a chance to sit down for a good long listen. Without a doubt these are my favorite headphones yet.
I've had a pair of Sennheiser HD650's, a pair of AKGK701's, and pair of Grado GS-1000's and i can say with conviction that the Denon's have come closet to recreating the experience of listening to a truly full range speaker. In fact I think they sound very similar to my old Dynaudio Focus 220's (but maybe go a tad deeper). The bass of the D7000's is, as i read some place, so deep and textural without being the slightest bit flabby. They also poses a very pleasing midrange and extended highs that don't seem overly harsh to me...just very detailed...in a fun way.
i've fed the Denon's with a PS Audio headphone amp connected via USB to my iMac. All the music is Apple Lossless. I've listened mostly to bands like Radiohead and Pink Floyd...with a healthy does of Kanye and El-p...the deep beats of hip hop and techno are super fun through these headphones.
So summing up, i really love the Denon's...in my opinon the Grado GS-1000's come in 2nd, i did like them a lot...but still the Denon's sound a bit better to me and are more comfortable to boot.
Thank you and goodnight.
