Some people don't like the comfort and sound of the J$ pads. I preferred the SQ but I did not like the added bulk.

ive seen the recent reviews on their quality and service, but i think ill just get mine from headroom whenever they get back in stock there so theres less of a chance of problems. i havent seen anything about people disliking the comfort or sound tho

according to another head-fi'er,  here is headroom's policy with regards to Jmoney pads

That's too bad, I wouldn't want to pay $70 for pads that looked like the ones in the thread you linked.  I've been saving up for them, too, pretty excited.  Now, though, I think I'll be cautious and wait

Just got confirmation that my D2000s shipped out from J&R today!  184.99 shipped!  So excited!  Exclamation points!!!

What did you have to say to sales when you called them to get that kind of price?!?!?

 

[brasewel]

That's what they used to sell years ago. I remember buying a new D5k for $320. I'm surprised they sold it to you at that price.

"Put your hands up!" lol
 
$184.99 is the cheapest I've seen for D2000...definitely a steal. I thought I was lucky to get them for $216 at Electronics Expo just a month ago.

I want to sell mine to get a pair of IEM for portability. What is the best price to post them for in the forums?

Just added some D7000 cups to my D2000s. The cups have dynamat in them also. I definitely love the improvement. They removed some sibilance and warmed them up. Theres more focus on the mids. The bass is punchier now I would compare the difference between the two cups to a sealed subwoofer vs a ported subwoofer where the D7000 cups are the sealed subs.

that is a very good obervation

i just got my d2000s, so i dont know much about modding them other than markl mods. where did you get d7000 cups and are they difficult to put on?

 

[HesterDW]

Secondhand from someone here on headfi. Not too difficult just involved cutting off some posts on my D2000 since the wood cups mount differently. This is permanent and I will never be able to put my plastic cups back on but after hearing the difference I dont really care. My ears were always sensitive to harsh vocals. But these are warm without being dark. Now if I could find someone willing to give away their J$ pads. Btw I listen to mostly progressive house and hip hop. The drums in the beginning of Kanye West - Goodmorning sound so tight/precise now, love it!

Picked up a pair of AH-D5000 for work.  I am pleasantly surprised.  They are very comfortable, light, and sound excellent for the money.  I picked them up new for 499.00 on amazon.  The mids are very well structured, precise, well balanced with the mid bass and bass.  The highs are a little bright but not ultrasone bright, closer to the beyers I own.  The bass is at a very appropriate level for me, its full bodied, and doesn't over power the mids.  Nice set of headphones overall.  The imaging is great for a pair of closed cans.  The stock cable is excellent build quality along with the rest of the headphones.
