To those of you with other headphones besides the DX-1000, what other headphone comes close? I loved the bass response of mine, great impact and quantity/feel. Amazing PRaT...
Since these are hard to find, plus fragile, what can replace them? Tall order, I know...

The TH900 is definitely a close contender as I own both and the DX1000 can still hold its own. Even after owning the Fostex, the JVC won't be going anywhere.
Its the easy rider of headphones or the southern fried chicken if you will. Power it with a tiny Geek Out or a mighty Onkyo receiver.

Hmmm, I just received my pair of the Massdrop X00 Purplehearts and they didn't compare; I wonder what the 900's do better. I sold my DX1000's a few years ago and still jones for that sound signature - it's just wonderful.
The TH900 has better bass and better separation.

I had both and sold th900, they are different phones JVC is closed and for my ears the stock bass impact was much more than Th900 and highs were less pronounced, which is what I preferred in the end. It is sort of personal preference but both are good phones in their own way.
I had the DX-1000 side by side with my Denon LA7000 and overall preferred the Denon sound signature and comfort a bit over the JVC. The fit of the JVC was a little "weird". Loved the bass but the Denon kept up with it. Ended up selling the JVC's.
On a side note, one of our members is using Audeze Vegan pads on the JVC with good results. I'd guess that would help with the fit and comfort.
The Fostex are very good but a little thin sounding and the highs are too pronounced for me. JVC doesn't do everything right either, but they're my favorite headphones anyway.

I've seen you compare these to a lot of new stuff, what stands up to you in comparison to the bass tone/impact/quality?
Nothing that I've found.
My main headphones are JVC HA-DX2000 and Sennheiser HD650. Both pretty old but I don't like any headphones I've ever tried more than them.

We have similar ear tastes, I own a pair of HD580's that I bought nearly ten years ago new, before the HD650's came out.

Had some live music that i was listening to on the mid-fi speaker system which is pretty realistic, had to move to headphones due to wife and went through several until i pulled these out. It felt like Goldilocks finding the perfect bed in the fairytale. This one is juuuust right. Aaahhhhh.

Hi everyone, just wanted ask all jvc ha dx owners if there are wood cup mods available for the dx2000. Its just for aesthetic purposes..and also wanting to do a mod for detachable so i can use aftermarket cable.
Thanks all
Thanks all
Finally got my hands on a pair of Sony MDR-Z7. I was hoping they'd be a more durable JVC HP-DX1000.
They have similar qualities and are super comfortable, but they have minimal isolation and lack the reverberant wood quality of the JVC.
Off they go then.
