I am so upset! I had the D1001 in my hands in December and decided to wait for the new model... I did and I regret it sooo much!
 
Why would a company such as DENON do such a stupid move?
 
I got the new AH-D1100 and they are so inferior, awful bass, so so mediums, oh well... does anyone know where I could get a new pair of the D1001?
 
Thanks,

Can you get a Creative Aurvana Live? Aren't they meant to be a re-badged Denon D1001?
 
There seems to be some places in the UK still clearing old stock of D1001s for about £100. Would be expensive to ship to Canada though probably.

Thanks shamrock134, do you know which place has it?

According to their website, iheadphones.co.uk has stock of the silver D1001.

For "sleepless64". I just ordered a pair of headphones from iheadphones in the U.K. The standard shipping was under $10 U.S. so the shipping to you should be close to the same. The only bad thing about ordering is that they don't give a conversion rate at time of purchase so you have to go to other sources to see what it is or check with CC company a couple days after placing an order to check to see how much you've been charged. I don't think you are in the minority FWIR the D-1100 is not an upgrade from the D-1001, I'm glad I purchased a pair a few years back. Also the standard shipping was fairly quick, received in the post in 6 business days to Southwestern U.S. so I would guess to your location it may only be 4 to 5 business days. Iheadphones does keep you abreast of shipment day by way of your e-mail. Hope this info. helps. Happy Listening.

Thank you rhfactor1... you know? after informing myself, I've just decided to spend it a little more money and go for the Sennheiser's 25 II... VERY dissapointed with the Denon 1100... what a stupid thing from such a big company, to eliminate from the market a great product (the D1001) to substitute it with a downgrade.

After spending money on 4 or 5 different "portable" models, around 2 years of trial and error, I finally got decent sound, much thanks to guidance in this. I finally went for the Sennheiser 25-1 II. It's sad to see that no really great portable headphones exist, but these are very good; not a consumer design and all plastic but very good sound without being "heaven" as some people say.

 

I used them with my loosless files (music) and Bithead portable amp. I hope someday soon, one company goes for the great headphones. Thanks for all this guidance.

There's always the Edition 8 for a great portable lol.
 
I have sent my HD25 off for a re-spray so they look a bit nicer. They should come back looking like this but without the green cable...
