I'm trying to decide between getting Denon 1001K or JVC HA-RX900 headphones?

If you want big soundstage (left to right but not much depth) and a relax darker sound then go with the RX900 but If you like more focus soundstage (smaller than the RX900 but not too small) with clean and clear sound and good dynamics then go with the Denon. I had both and already sold the RX900. I ma selling 2 D1000 (Check the for sale forum if you like) also but jsut to upgrade to the much more expensive Audio Technica ESW10. |

With black Friday coming up, I guess I should see if a local place has one or the other on sale. |

Black Friday also applies to online shopping. ~$65 shipped is a good price for the RX900, and <$85 shipped is a good price for the D1001. Each of these can be modded for improvement. I suspect you may prefer the D1001 without additional amping. |
