Ordered the d1001 at amazon (price drop 2 weeks ago). Wow! I like this warm-sounding headphones!

REad somewhere that it would sound better after breakin(how many hours?) and new wires (cant find this thread).

Never knew that headphones can be addicting.

I now have this Denon and the Senn cx300 to play around with. Maybe I'll try the Grados next.

But this Denon so far is putting a smile on my face each time I put them on.

And so it begins

Hide your wallet while you have the chance!

I am also considering the D1001. Can someone comment on the sound isolation? My abundance of earwax is making IEMs annoying, as I have to clean the tips after every use.

Sound isolation is pretty ok. I can hear outside sound at moderate volume.

X2 on the wallet.

Probably I'll save up on some pretty good cd player. Right now I'm using my headpones w/ my ipod and laptop.

 

[exmachina]

Go grab these before they're gone. lol

How are the mids on the d1000? are they more upfront or laidback?

Well, I'm still breaking-in these headphones. As of the moment, they're laidback for me.

 

[K_19]

The mids on the D1001 never gets upfront (at least compared to Grados and such). It's definitely there and clear, but not forward in your face.

Slightly laid back? I had tried a demo in a store a week ago, and I found that they were recessed... There might have been no burn in though :/

 

[Bonthouse]

Absolutely not recessed, just laid back.
You need a serious listening session to really judge a headphone. You simply can't do that on a 5 min try-out

And it has a very nice soundstage. I was really surprised about how good it sounded stock!

All I could tell from the try out was it was so comfy!

I might consider the AHD 2000's instead

 

[Bonthouse]

Oh you are wise my friend. I had the D1001 (rebranded as the CAL!) and they are light edition of the D2000. There is way more detail, bass, speed and soundstage with the bigger brother. I have the D2000 in my possession for exactly two weeks now, and I'm still amazed about how good they are every time I have them on my head

 

[jonathanjong]

How much burn in...not sure, really. Heaps of it, anyway.

I just put them on one day, months after I bought them and was like, "Wow..." I didn't recable. Couldn't be bothered.

 

[Bonthouse]

I'm going to recable them, but only after about a couple of months, so I get the w00t effect again

So Chungster, If you get the feeling a recable might do you some good, you know who to PM

 

[exmachina]

Can anyone forward the recable thread? What are the noticeable differences? Not much experience yet with headphones but this d1001 of mine has just started my addiction.
