Haha! Tom, gooified.
I must say that I'm really enjoying the AD2000s, been listening for the last 3 or more hours and did the same for longer last night
I've tried comparing to the HD580s but they sound a bit boring when I switch to them, only to switch back to the AD2000s. They're either plain awesome, or I have a bit of 'new toy' syndrome and have to give my other cans a better run for their money at a later date; probably a bit of both.
But I can say that for female vocals the reports are true, AD2000s are killer.
So far I've been enjoying: Sarah Blasko, Emma Pask, Florence and The Machine, BoA, Count Basie, Lisa Mitchell, Leonard Cohen (his deep voice sounds amazing), Mumford & Sons, Eddie Mis, Penguin Cafe Orchestra,
and Miley Cyrus.
So maybe I'm choosing genres that perform well with the AD2000s; I'll give some more classical a go and see how rock and metal fare later.
I even doubted that I'd like them that much as I recently got rid of my AD900s in favour of the HD580s and didn't like AD1000 when I heard them a while ago.
