update:

so i ended up canceling my D2000 order (sorry Kohn & AC!) because im flying out to LA for 5 weeks on wednesday and even if they shipped it there, i wouldnt be able to audition properly since i wouldnt have my rig

this is not necessarily a bad thing since now i really get to home in on what headphone i want which i sort of just posted about in my "closed K701" thread where i said:

now that i think about, im probably looking for a mix between the K701 and the K501 (in other words everything i said in the quote) with maybe a hair more bottom end, a hair more forgiving, and ideally closed (in terms of leakage, not isolation) but this last part i can sort of live without

preferably in production, and let's say W5000 price and under? haha
