elmo 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2003 To all in forum Where can I find Sony CD-2000/3000 in Singapore? They look terrific, and based on Sony site in US, it retail at US$349 and US$699 respectively. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northern Oak 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2003 Are you sure it cost US$699 for the CD3000, that's as expensive as the Sony R-10. I thought ablaze got it at a much cheaper price. I remembered he mentioned that the CD3K is slightly cheaper than the W1000, which cost less than S$700. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ablaze 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2003 US$699 is MSRP ie. manufacturer's price. street prices in US are less..I think around the $369-$400 mark (USD) Japanese street prices are a bit lower than that. about USD$300+ not sure about the lesser brother, the CD2000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N@Z 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2003 A simple review would be nice though since these cans are causing such a stir in Head-fi. I'm quite curious too. Especially reading about their 'super' soundstage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ablaze 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2003 for me, one "big" thing I'm thankful for is how damn comfortable these headphones are. no in-your-ear itch like Etys, no ON-your-ear feel like the Grados, and no "clamp" like almost all the rest of the cans..blissfully comfortable are the CD3Ks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2003 I'm actually quite surprised to hear that these headphones are very comfortable. I assume full sized headphones to be so but they look HUGE & HEAVY. How big are they compared with the Senn HD600? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ablaze 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2003 I think almost twice as big. yeah they're huge! but they're surprisingly light, and the leather on the pads really soft..i think in the specs its said to be 'collagen-like' and very non-clampy. so in the end, despite how they look..
