^sounds exactly like what i was looking for! thanks
I think you would be disappointed with the Pro900. The Denons are better all-rounders, capable of handling a wider range of music genres. The Pro900 excels at a few specific genres but overall isn't that versatile. I find it to be excellent for bass-orientated electronic genres where vocals are not that important.
Of course, this is all IMO and without trying them for youself you will never really know.
Thanks for the response guys. Seems like I have to get these. The majority of the music I listen to is electronic, especially lately. Here's a sample of what I would likely be listening to on these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTjV7Pr7BrM&hd=1 and other similar, deep, dark type dubstep... i've been listening to a little house lately too. I think it's house... I dunno. Anyway, hopefully I can find some of these on the used board sometime soon. What's the going rate for a pair of use Pro 900s? $320?
Just listened to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVg6OaKTTxI&hd=1 for the first time on my D2000s... It was incredible. If these Pro 900s are really made for that particular sound, I imagine I'm going to love these things.
I think you're going to like Pro 900 more than D2000 for electronica. I haven't heard D2000, but I own D5000 and Pro 900 is the one I use the most, (well, only headphone I use now since the right driver broke on D5000).
They are quite different headphones, and Pro 900 is the most fun to listen to, especially for electronica.
It's known that D2000/D5000 has more sub-bass and Pro 900 has more mid-bass, but Pro 900 isn't far behind in the sub-bass region and has a greater punch whereas D5000 sounds more bloated.
The song you linked sounds awesome by the way, and that's only on Youtube!
In your opinion, as far as electronic music is concerned will I be losing out a whole lot if most my electronic music collection is in either V0 or 320? I know FLAC would obviously be preferable, but I'm wondering how much will really be lost there. All my prog rock and music with real instruments is in FLAC, for some reason I've always assumed V0 or 320 would be just find for electronica... now that I'm looking into a pair of headphones that apparently isn't very forgiving I'm a bit concerned about my decision to do that.

I only listen idm, techno, ambient, dub, etc.. and with the pro 900 there is not any problem with mp3 files, for me with electronic music (also in downtempo) is fantastic. Also with old electronic music like Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk and Cluster.
Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk sounds really good on the Pro 900 imo.
