Hey guys, I wanted to throw in my $0.02 on an issue that was bugging me a little bit shortly after I received my Pro 900s a couple months ago. It seemed like I was reading a number of people who were selling their Pro 900s and buying D5000s and preferring them. This kind of irked me at the time, but now I actually have both of them. The D5000 is more versatile and is a better choice as an all-around can, but the Pro 900 has some definite advantages, particularly in more upbeat electronic genres and for bassy metal, due to the faster response and punchier mid-bass. For example, if I'm listening to Massive Attack or Bjork, I'll be going for the D5000s, but if listening to Black Sun Empire or Assemblage 23, it's the Pro 900s. I think that most people intending to build smaller collections and looking for a an upper mid-tier will find them similar enough to need to choose between them, but for collectors, people wanting a larger assortment of bassy or V-shaped cans, or people who listen a lot to bassy music, they have enough differences that both are probably worth keeping.
