After reading comments by those I trust, I sold both my HD600 and HD650 a while back to fund the purchase of the AD2000, here are what I feel about this AT headphone compare to both HD6X0s:
+ really good build quality(except the cable)
+ detail, good midbass
- a little bit brighter/ more fragile than I'd like
- soundstage is smaller with a weird shape, the singer is right in front of you and the left and right of the stage are miles behind the singer
- less bass than I'd like
- upfront but dry, muffle and uninvolving midrange
- clamps tighter than both HD6X0s
- the cable is thin but hard, microphonic with open headphone!
None of the above are major faults, but when they added up, it is a faulted headphone to match my sonic preference. I was so disappointed and I bought another pair of HD650.
Even though I hate AD2000, I'd recommend you should at least try it for yourself, we may not have same preferences.
