Scratch the HDJ 1500 off that list, they aren't as much like the HDJ 2000 as I would like. The 1000s are better

On Amazon the HDJ-2000 is only $50 more

Anybody wanna give me an idea of what I can expect with the HAS-500 in comparison to the Noontec Zoro?

whats so bad about the 1500's

Q40's are only 100$ at B&H I think, they seem like a good option for you

Cant go wrong with the hdj-2000, especially now offered in black.

Sorry, meant to mention that the bass on the 2000's scales very well with the ZO.
Only thing that sucks is the replacement cable options are limited because of the mini xlr, as the stock cable is rather annoying for portable use

the 2000's with ZO will be waaaayy over by budget

I understand. They sound fairly good from a portable source alone, the ZO is obviously optional. But I must mention that the $50 or so over the 1500 for stellar build quality is more than worth it in my opinion.

Since this is the Basshead Club thread, these cans may be very appealing to those subscribed here:

Great boomy bass and not woobly or wooly like the Monster or Beats headphones.

 

[chevy454]

so let me get this straight...I will get better overall sound ( sound quality & bass) than the m50 and lp2's with the 2000's? And if the pioneers Is that good, why no one talk about them?

Can anyone compare the V-moda M-100 with the NuForce HP800? Or maybe suggest similar alternatives under and around $300?

From everything I have read, the LP2 is a bass monster with more bass than either the M50 or D2000, but they don't have nearly the high end extension of the others and probably not as good mids.  The LP2 is good for rap and EDM, where the M50 and D2000 are more versatile.  The only one of the three I have heard is the M50 and they are not for a basshead.

Interesting how two people can hear the same headphone so differently.  I found this on Amazon:

@MacedonianHero- any chance of comparing the NuForce HP-800 to the M-100 or UE6000 or M-Audio Q40?  I am impressed they offer aluminum cups at their price point.

From Amazon's review, it seems like they sound like the Q40. Lot's of bass and shrill highs is what the Q40s are known for. Both have a 40mm driver, but they're probably not the same.
