Wants.
 
1 pair of thumping / fun sounding semi portable closed cans for school and occasionally walking the dog. 
Would i be happier with the denon d1100's, being that they are more portable, or will i be taking a huge hit
in sound quality over the d2000's.
 
1 pair of home cans that are extremely detailed for all types of music, i was looking at the akg's but they seem more tailored to classical music over rap and hiphop. Thats why i'm leaning towards the d600's.
 
And 1 portable amp that could handle them both. Im pretty sold on the ibasso p4 for the power output and from the reviews i have read.
 
 
I'm pulling the trigger in a week, so i want to make sure im not going to have instant buyers remorse.

Here's a nice review of the D2000 and D1100. Seems to point to the D1100 for portable use.

looks like the d1100 do not need amping, making them all the more portable.
 
maybe the d1100's and senn d600's are the better route.

+ with a little bit of EQ , u can really get close to D2000 sound quality with the D1100

The Denon D2000s are NOT portable.  They leak almost as much sound as open headphones, have a very loose fit, benefit from an amp, and are huge.

so my rockboxed sansa fuze will play nicely with the d1100's then.
 
Groovy, more portability, good sound and saving $.
 
Thats a win win win.
 
thx

just keep in mind how much of a pain in the a$$ a long, heavy cord can we while walking or even taking to school. the warbler should drive the denons just fine.

Id like to take the looks of the d1100 and the sound of the hd25-1 II
 
That would be my optimum portable.
