would u pay 400 canadian ( like 300 USD ) for a pair of d2000 ? suposely in mint condition !?? if yes , anything i should be aware of or make a particular attention to something before buying ???
Hi there, I'm in Canada and paid about $350 CAD for mine imported from the US (so add import tax on top of this). You have to factor that if you can get them in Canada, and shipped within Canada, that is a good price. Obviously cheaper is better, but you also have to factor that this specific model is only available used and local - only so often.
I feel they are absolutely worth it. I have heard there have been some revisions so its hard to say which model/era you may get. I can say I am completely enamoured with mine. Easily some of the best drivers committed to a headphone
I read back on some of your posts you are looking for something more for EDM, pop, and games etc. These are perfect for those. But let me say, unlike a pair of Dre Beats, their signature and treble energy is still more partial to the best recordings.
For gaming, I feel these are incredible. They have a lot of top end sparkle to help with positioning, are quite linear through the mid-range, and have a bass end that has enough aplomb to give palpable thunder to explosions and cinematic strings. My reference for this experience is immersing myself in Battlefield 1 for the past week. I've also used them for CS:Go, and many other titles.
Im listening to them right at the moment, to classical (Erno Dohnányi - Chamber music / Kocian Quartet / Beethoven) comparing them side-to-side with my Audeze LCD2. The Audeze's present more naturally, with more space, and more dynamic range. That extra sheen on the top-end of the D2000 is a bit glassy, but for piano and woodwind help round out the top-end that can sometimes feel missing with the LCD2 (it really isn't, the LCD2 just have so much body, that it can mask an otherwise very detailed high-end). For electronic music, the D2000 out-of-the-box has a bit more oomph than the LCD, and the right amount of energy up-top. Overall the LCD2 is better overall for acoustic, instrumental, jazz, rock, vocals and is the less fatiguing headphone (but more expensive). The Denon, while being brighter, actually make you feel like you aren't listening as close up as with the LCD2, the Denon's feel a bit further back. They give the illusion of soundstage, no small feat given their semi-closed design. To some, the D2000's top-end frequency can initially feel strident or even make voicing sharp. After some time, you adjust to it, and realize how equally exquisite the rest of the spectrum is. IAlso, because of their tuning, they sound great at lower volumes, whereas the LCD2, you'll want to crank up a bit for the best performance.
Another thing, the D2000, at least the one i have, is not the bass-monster it is sometimes made out to be. If you want more bass, you may want to look into the D5000, Fostex TH600/900/610 or Massdrop Fostex TH-XOO. To me it has the perfect amount of bass.
Some stuff to be aware. The cable can get tangled. I used some rubberized twist-tie material to keep the cord in a loop. Unless you are going to be using the full-length of the cord, it can be a bit unwieldy. It also isn't detachable. You'll need to baby these, and they aren't to be worn outside. They are light enough and very comfortable, but the form factor and cable prevent them from being used portably. Also, the design of the swivel-connector that attached to the cups could be a stress point.
Also, very easy to drive. You can run these out of pretty much anything.
Of all the headphones I've owned it is among my favorite sonically, and probably my favourite , comfort, price and sound-quality considered - even notching ahead of the HD650.
