Lol, sorry ruhenheiM.
There is not much to complain except for the weight. A lot to be praised for the sound though. Will share more tomorrow for sure, hehe. It's midnight here, and I'm going to try to listen the PS2000e with a portable player before going to bed. My previous impression was written with a laptop as its source. So the sound isn't optimal, (but still great). Will try to share some photos too, with some morning sunshine. 
Looks stunningly beautiful.
Lol, sorry ruhenheiM.
those weight sure does need some adaptation, most of my headphones are light weight, my most heavy headphone was akg k340. i already sold mine though, and i think k340 was lighter than ps1ke but i'm not sure which one more annoying, i remember those akg really does put some work on my neck
Try them with the Grado G cushions too.
Congratulation, Jay!waiting on my g-cushes to come in for my original ps500 that just came in the week ! i'm back !
ps500, and sr125e, and there may be more to come
They give you a nice alternative, like having 2 headphones in one.
FYI, there is a difference between the Grado G-pads ($30-40) and the generic G-pads ($4-6 on ebay). I like the generic not only because of the cost but they are a bit softer and give the bass a 1-2dB boost and still have the better sound stage of the Grado G-pad.
So far, my neck is still alright.same here,also midnight
haha step by step, yours also not burned in i assumed?
btw since you have many daps. could you test them all direct for ps2000e? which one could drive ps2000e properly. i tried psk1e direct from laptop and ak100, it sounds dull
Tested it directly to three of my DAPs. With Opus#2, I need to turn the volume 100/150. The sound is leaner, but more accurate. The bass sounds more neutral with it, unsuitable for listening to electronic/bass genre. Listening to Amber Rubarth (open.spotify.com/track/54j7DPdfAQkQfjgwDp9ugt), I can hear the soundstage being super-spacious, and wide. The layering and separation ability are amazing. Each instruments are very well separated, and layered. You can really feel the depth, and width as if you're there. The vocal in the center, and the rest supporting it from their respective sides. It can be easily distinguished where each sound is coming from, its source direction. With PS2000e, you're listening further distant, but you can feel yourself immersed as if you're in the studio with the musician. Vocal is sweet, and airy. With even each breath defined/recreated precisely. Guitar timbre, and drum is vey accurate, and well executed. The treble is brighter on Opus#2, but it's never piercing, or peaky. Due to its leaner note size, and more neutral approach/tuning, the PS2000e with Opus#2 sounds less engaging than WM1A which has a warmer, bassier sound. I think the PS2000e pairs better with warmer players, because it gives a more analog natural sound from it. Out of all players, the PS2ke didn't sound dull to my ears. It's just that with brighter source, the notes can become thin, and less engaging. They can all drive the headphone well.
with a pads on it's almost unnoticeable. as long as the sound is great and headphone itself could last for a very long time, that's more than enough for meI did a comparison between the three players here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/astell-kern-ak70-mkii-with-dual-dac.860871/page-30#post-13872288@ranfan
how about iriver ak70 mk2? btw the front drivers seems little bit blue color from the pictures? and i would say the silk screen would've done little bit better, i'm just cherry picking here
have you drive it with external amplifier?
Curious myself how it'll scale as it is fed with greater power. I think it'll sound significantly better with a good amp. Which sadly I do not have. Gonna bring it to CanJam next year, and try it with the array of amps displayed for demo there, hehe. As far as sound quality goes, I'm content if this would be my end-game headphone.
