My pix is up next...and I won't be joking, baby!
Gotta be able to fund dem HE-cans.
To be honest the D7000s don't sound that good at all, It's all hyperbole
I've been saying this since day one for three years now and very few people still get it.
I can understand them sounding pretty good if your overall headphone experience is earbuds and maybe a ~$150 headphone, but once you've tried the majority of the mid to high tier offerings you quickly realize that these headphones are garbage when it comes to replicating instrumental tone and accuracy. Personally I don't venture in to the high tier headphones looking to spend four figures on a "fun" headphone. In terms of headphones, "fun" quickly becomes boring with experience.
Even at the $550-600 range I purchased these at when they were first released I consider them extremely overpriced. Now with the price rising it's just absurd. Anyone that would spend $900-1000 on a D7000 instead of an LCD-2 needs to have their hearing checked immediately.

Anyone that prefers the LCD-2 to the D7000 needs to get their neck muscles checked!
Seriously though, the D7000 is a technically capable headphone. If you ever get a chance to hear a modded pair you'll understand.

I read subtle's not so subtle indictment of the D7000. And the signatures attached to the bottom of it. I also own the cans and have experience with the other cans mentioned and the tier group in which they belong.
While my own preferences differ from this group (widely), no need for us to playthe dozens. We respect that, emotionally...you're different cats.
I wonder why the Koss ESP-950 isn't more popular. It's right in the same price range as the D7000 and LCD-2.
I like the D7000 quite a bit, they have been my go-to can since I got them. I enjoy more technically accurate, more "respected" top-tier headphones as well (check my sig), but the D7K is fun, musical, and technically proficient. And they don't need a beast of a system to drive. For me, this adds up to maximum listening pleasure out of a smaller system. At this level there is no 'better' or 'best' headphone, it's all about personal preferences and enjoyable listening.
Yeah baby, like this!
