How much would a D2000 cost? I'm also looking for a pair of headphones for electronic music.

It sells for ~S$400 from bluetin.com

bluetin japan I meant btw.

 

Anyway,

Can someone comment on the HD580?

I am actually thinking of that due to its much lower price...

is it still available? how much? i have the 600 which has the same driver and sound texture but superior staging.

Yeah, they are practical the same, HD580+HD600 grills = HD600.

 

You can still find them used on head-fi, pretty cheap. Way cheaper than a used HD600 here, but thats due to the overpriced local cans anyway

 

How does your HD600 perform with Hip-Hop/Rap music?

Are there any kind souls around whom can let me audition their D2000? I feel really funny plunging for it without listening to it man.

I would get the DT 770s. They have a nice strong bass along with great all around sound. They have a slightly recessed upper-mid section but thats not much of a problem. They are a great pair of headphones and are exactly what you are looking for.

I'll have to listen to the D2000 one of these days.

 

I have the DT990 (05), and just like Ryner said, they're very versatile. One thing they have that D2000 doesn't, according to what I read, is good soundstage. But of course that won't matter much in the genres you're listening to. Their bass is no slouch in the detail department. I couldn't be more pleased with them, but I hate comments like "D2000 walk over DT990" because it makes me think back on my purchase.

 

But really, I'm not disappointed so I shouldn't care.

swmaxxx: I have audition the DT770 Pro and I feel they lack a good instrument separation. Plus their bass and plus it is a closed headphone, it makes them lack clarity compared with the DT880 (05) and DT990 (05).

 

But the thing is the pair of DT770 Pro I auditioned was slightly faulty, the left channel was of lower volume (cable problem), thus I did not pay much attention to them.

 

Another thing to note is that I did not find the 770s bass heavy, I reckon the 770s are really spoiled. Either way, I did not like their sound signature.

 

Reputator: Well, soundstage has always been a issue with closed cans but the thing with the Denons is their soundstage is pretty good(for a closed can of course) and they have great imaging. Quoted from a review on head-fi ( I cant remember who is the reviewer, plus head-fi is down)," I have no idea how do they do it without S-Logic".

 

I auditioned the DT880 (05) and DT990 (05) with the impression of Denons still fresh in my mind. Honestly, I was not impressed with them at all. The bass extension of the DT990 was nowhere close to that of Denons. In fact, I find the DT990 slightly lacking in bass.. For their prices, I was expecting more. IMO though.

 

Well, my Denons are already on their way. And till then I will refrain from making any other comparisons
