My history of buying headphones has one common theme that ties it all together. I always talk myself out of buying the HD650.
My first real good pair of headphones was the HD580. They served me well, but I was clamoring for more bass. The HD650 enticed me, as I really thought of it as nothing more than an HD580 with more bass. So what did I do? I bought the DT880. Makes sense, I know. Of course, the DT880 didn't get the job done so I sold them. I then get myself back into a position to buy a new pair of cans. Of course, the HD650 is just waiting for me. But I bought the SA5000. Excellent headphones, but they still didn't quite do it for me so I sold them. I then bought the A900, a decision to this day that I still don't quite understand. They're terrible headphones (IMO, of course). I managed to partially rectify the situation by getting the DT770 Pro/80. This decision made sense, and I'm quite happy with it, being a basshead and all.
But here I am again. While I know the HD650's bass probably doesn't quite compare to the DT770 (in the basshead kind of way) I'm finding myself all to eager to pull the trigger. At least, I was, until I started researching more about the D2000. Imagine my joy when I read about the D2000 having a similar sound signature to the HD650, but with more and better bass. I damn near wet my pants! So naturally, I'm left with a dilemma. D2000 or HD650? The D2000 is just like the others. I read about it and, based on what I see, feel that it will be better than the HD650 for my purposes. Of course, with all the others I was disappointed. Will the D2000 break my heart like all the others? Would I be better off just gettting the HD650 and being done with it? The best way I can sum up what it is I'm looking for is as follows. I absolutely loved the HD580 (and wish that I'd never sold them) but I always wished it had deeper and more impactful bass. What do you guys think (other than the fact that I'm totally crazy)?
