For your budget I would suggest you try out the esw9 or if you are interested in iem the Ortofons. No comment on the D2000 since I've not heard it.

The esw9 is good in terms of sound but bad with isolation. Especially when you take bus, you can hear the engine sound and everything. lol

D2000 is 499 if im not wrong.. But its quite big, i don't think its portable at all. For portability wise, i think you should consider IEMS instead. ahah.

I would advise against thinking of using D2000 in a portable setup. I actually tried, and D2000 design is simply too thick, and the long coil of cable isn't going to make things easier too. D2000 doesn't block noise very well too.

 

Isolation-wise, your willingness to use a full-size can, and based on your budget, you may want to check out Shure 840, available at Stereo.

are the d2000 or the shure 840 able to fold their cups 90 degrees like flat. that would help alot.hmmm do they have UE in stereo? if so i guess most of the things i want is there . would save me lots of trip :D

first i have to sell my sr125 thou

actually size dosnt really matter as i only bring my headphones out when im carrying a bag. which is most of the time. and mostly in the back of the bus emoing and listen to music. lol just wondering if the cups can at least fold cause i scared crack or something if i lean on it. and i dont really like coiled cables. its annoying to me lol

 

my minds kinna set on the d2000 cause the reason i started this thread was cause i ichy hands went to try it and suddenly my grado sounds plain . at least to me but i still wanna keep my options open and see what others there are. the thing i like most bout the d2000 is the sound stage. (Y) always been something i look for. esp in jazz fusion and some instrumentals... mmmmmm

 

 

 

how come no one suggested any iem yet?!
