Will definitely consider it when the time comes... I've just pulled the trigger on some 990's so I'll have to hold out on the D5000 for now...

As I said earlier, mine looked like it hadn't been opened at all.  The box was a little dinged up (couple of slightly smashed corners, etc), but the headphones looked like they hadn't been touched.  All the factory twist ties and plastic coverings were in place.
 
Denon's warranty policy on open box items is full coverage as is (so if any accessories are missing, they won't replace them, but if it breaks, it's warranted out to 1 year like all other Denon headphones).  Honestly, not a bad deal at all given that the only accessory is a screw-on 1/8" to 1/4" adapter (and mine was included anyways).  I picked up a 3 year Square Trade warranty (~$25 with coupon) as well, just to be on the safe side.

i assume this is a steal as well.  i was thinking maybe the d2000 and they were apparently out of stock for a little while and looked at all the rest of their open box listings for maybe something else.  not sure i should spend this much yet..lol just bought open box srh750dj for my first real pair of headphones and wont even get them for at least a week yet.

That's a steal. If I hadn't just gotten a used pair for $400 I'd be very tempted.

At least your used pair is burned in and you saved about $200.00

Do you own HE-400's?
 
They sound nothing like the HD600.
 

 
That's the point, her musical tastes include hard metal and dubstep which demands more bass. That's why I recommend the he400 over the 600's. Oh, and I do own both headphones, although the he400's arent working right now lol

Too bad about your 400's.

  Mine are working fine so far (18 hours use/burn-in).
 
Personally, I've never subscribed to the "certain headphones for certain music" philosophy. I can understand why some people want to color their music in different ways, but I think tone controls is a much easier way to do it.

Really want to try the 400s.

Oh yeah I agree completely. My top 3 headphones right now are pretty neutral (he500, fostex t50rp paradox and Hd600) and it gives you a lot more options of eq. And those 3 also have a certain coloration albeit being pretty neutral, so they can serves different purposes.

Just got my "New In Open Box" D7000s from Electronics Expo. These are DEFINITELY to be considered new. The contents inside are definitely untouched, down to the 'tape' that covers the metal size adjustments. So anyone skeptical should feel 100% confident about getting their D7000s for a very cheap price through E-E's Amazon listing. I had bought a brand new D7000 last year from them, and it's in the same condition.

$585.... what a deal.

I have been sorely wanting to try the D7000 for a while now and this pushed me over the cliff. I had them in my cart and entered my shipping info until I noticed a little something above the subtotal...TAX!
 
Turns out, EE is partners with Amazon for distribution. Amazon is in WA so I pay sales tax if I order from them.
 
I know it's stupid, but somehow the extra $55 ruins the thrill for me.

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

I would have bought them for $650, so... that tax I would live with. Worth every penny.

It's still way cheaper than 999.99. I almost pulled trigger on D5000 but than realized they are closed plus no guarantee i will receive HE-400 by end of next week as promised

Don't let being closed stop you, my D7000s have a much larger soundstage than any other closed cans I've ever heard, and by all accounts the D5000s are the same way. I'm so crazy about these things that I don't even want to listen to my other phones anymore.

I'm thinking about some pad upgrades though, but I see that J$ isn't around anymore. Anyone know what other options are out there right now?
