Any why would you want him to? You could just buy a Pavarotti CD. It would be cheaper.

Pavarotti couldn't play guitar.

Things seem a little bit clearer and I can pick up a few more details in songs that I didn't hear before. Will things improve with burn in (only 3 hours of music and 6 hours of white noise so far) or did I just hype myself up over the months of research?

It only gets worse with diminishing returns, so if you expect a $250 can to be blowing away the D1001, you may be disappointed again. Not everyone appreciates headphones same as way as a lot of the Head-Fiers. No sweat, you saved yourself bundle if you want to have a positive view, sell it and spend your money on something else? Or keep em and sell the Skullcandy.

I think problem is that they are both closed. I used to have the Denon AHD-550 and I didn't hear much difference than the D2000. Usually have to spend more for Closed than Air to get that amazing sound, just with acoustics, closed harder to design I believe. That's why the top headphones from Sennheiser and Beyerdynamics are all Open Air. Even from Audio Technica. Audio Technica closed that are expensive are mostly due to materials used and being limited edition.

If you want something very different from the Skullcandy, sell the Denon and try the AD700 from Audio Technica, that will wow you with some differences. Not saying you will like the sound, but you will definitely say, wow, now that is different.

One of the first headphones I looked at the was AD700, but after seeing how big the cups were, I decided that wasn't for me. And I would be using them in class and I'm pretty sure everyone wouldn't want to hear my music

I'm doing this right now and the bass is tons better. Not quite as much as I was wanting, but twice as good as it was with my iPod. Thanks for this suggestion!
