I have now narrowed down to 2 headphones that I would like to purchase soon (if I find a good deal), the edition 9 and the Denon D7000. I have not heard either because I did not find any place to audition them, but have read many reviews and understand there sound characteristics. There actually aren’t much reviews of the D7000 yet, but from reading current impressions, they are very similar to the D5000. Reason why I am not going for the D5000 is because I prefer the glossy piano finish of the D7000 and the letterings won’t rub off and also they are a newer model. Yes I love bling, which is why the Edition 9 is in the equation too. Appearance matters to me, and I love the look of both phones.
I’m pretty new to head-fi but would like to start off with some high end phones. I currently have a RSA SR71A portable amp and Klipsch X10 that I use for traveling, and I am now looking into full size closed cans to replace IEMs. I travel a lot so my only choice is portable amps for now, but once I settle down, I will invest in a home amp for sure.
Now the deciding factor…which one is more versatile music selection wise? I listen to a broad range of genre, from classical piano and strings, new age, female vocals, pop, to bass heavy electronic dance genre. Another factor is the bass; I love quality bass that’s both tight and deep with good impact, but of course still maintaining good detail from top to bottom. I hate bright phones, and fortunately both are not from what I read. Lastly if possible, if you heard any or both, can you rank them from 1-10 in the following categories?
Bass extension
Bass quality
Bass impact
Mids quality
Highs Quality
Soundstage

Thanks so much in advance for your inputs to help me decide, appreciate it greatly.
