I've dug around a bit but haven't found anything in the many Denon pages here similar to this, so I'll start a thread. Please let me know if one already exists.   I've been toying around replacing the foam rings that sit between the earpad piece and the driver proper. The rings are easily...

I am looking for something more balanced in terms of frequency range. Before S4is i used some Koss branded ones that i liked for about 50$ and their bass clarity (for 50$) sounded pretty good. I was looking at D2ks and maybe D5ks but I'm going by the general advice to invest in a "full" setup...

Hi, I'm buying new headphones but I'm stuck on which ones to get. I listen to Drum and Bass, Dubstep and Hip-Hop, so I'd like some with some good bass. My budget is £100 ($150) and I live in the UK. Also I'll be using them with my PC and Google Nexus 7 if you need to know. Could you guys...

Hi everyone! looking to replace a pair of Sennheiser HD558. Those are ok but a litte too dark sounding for me. Plus I want a close-back head phone this time, and a replaceable cord. Primarily I'd listen to these at home, through a TEAC UD-H01 dac, Onkyo TX-8050, and Onkyo C-7030. I'd mostly be...

Hey, well I'm looking for a cheaper substitute for my Denon D5000's as I'd like to free up some funds for other gear. Is there a headphone that exists that sounds similar enough in regards to subbass rumble etc but is relatively cheaper? How does the M-Audio Q40 go?   Any suggestions or...

Hey all!   Still pretty new here... I have a question regarding an issue that I'm surprised no one has discussed (or at least that my 'advanced search' skills were unable to find).   The issue I'm talking about is the perceived curve vs the actual curve of headphones in comparison to...

Hey guys,   I've got a set of Denon D5000. They have had the MarkL mod done, and I'm keen to possibly get some wood cups soon. Considering as they aren't manufactured any more, I'm guessing that eventually they may go up in value a little.  Would putting the wood cups on, in theory...

Really need some advice on which full size headphone I should get given my history and requirements.     Requirements:   -First of all the headphones I select must be closed headphones with good enough isolation/sound leak profile to be used on planes at moderate/high volume.  I travel...

I think my Grado SR125 are too bright and my Denon D5000s just right.  But when I A/B them to my friends, they inevitably pick the Grados, sometimes using words like "clear" and "transparent."  Personally, I think it is just because people associate loud with good, and I notice the Grados are...

Hello,   I have a pair of Denon AH-D5000 and I really like its clarity, soundstage and instrument separation. When compared to the Koss Porta Pro, Philips SHE3580, Shure SE115, these all sound congested and muffled to me. I'd like IEMs close to the Denons. What would you recommend?   Edit...

Hello guys, I have been looking to upgrade my gear and i came up with a few salutations that i thought you guys can help me choose which is best for me.   These are the Headphones that i have at the moment:   Beyerdynamic T90 Denon AH-D5000 HiFiMan HE-500 Audeze LCD2 <== "coming...

As the title says in looking for headphones. Over the ear closed back is preferred. I'm going to use them at home and on the go. I am looking to use them with my iPod, no amp at the start will pick one up later. I listen to everything but mostly rap and dubstep like bass nectar. I had a...

Hello, I have a very nice pair of D5000's and I don't know how much I should sell them for. I don't know if this is the right section to ask for a price check but I don't know where else to put it. If someone could help me, that would be appreciated. Thank you!

I absolutely adore the D5000s but i'm interested in finding out how much better it gets for the kind of music I like. I listen mostly to EDM and bass heavy hip-hop. All digital files but mostly lossless formats. I run my headphones through an mbox pro 3 interface. I'd be willing to spend up to a...

Dear folks Daniele from Italy/Dubai   i m listening to headphones from when i expat to work in middle east i start from sennheiser hd650, that i liked very much ultrasone hfi780-nice bass and detail, but a bit too harsh and v shape grado gs1000-very good detail and huge soundstage but a...

I owned my D5000 and T5P for half a year. Now it's time to have something different. I'm looking for a pair of headphones coming as a complementation instead of a replacement. Any recommendation between K812 and GS1000i? Or any other cans?

I don't see any option to post in the trade section but I have some practically brand new Ultrasone pro 900's that I bought for music production that id like to trade for some denon ah-d5000's. I love my ultrasone's but id like to try something different.

Hello,   I currently own AKG Q701, HiFiman HE-400 and should become an owner of Denon D5000 soon. And so, it's finally time to upgrade from my 2 portable amps to a full-sized amp.   After reading a bunch of reviews and comparisons my favourite is the Matrix M-Stage HPA-2. It offers superb...

Hey guys, I just want to say firstly that my entire audio build is based off this site and your guys recommendations. I am NOT an expert at audio equipment, but would like to start experiencing and learning more. In 2010 I bought my Denon D5000s after posting a thread asking about direction. I...

Hello fellow head fiers, Good to come back ! it's been a long time since the last time Ive been here, took a few years break from HI-FI.  My story in short: didn't have the time and money(was needed for other stuff) so I sold almost all the gear I had (Denon AHD-5000,Grado RS1,senn HD650...

Posted this in the Denon thread a few hours ago but since I want to buy these things by tomorrow I decided to make a separate post in hopes of getting some more replies:     I've been recommended the AH-D600's by some users here when I asked for a good headphone for overall use with the...

Hi,   I have the Denon AH-D5000 since 2009 and sound very good.   Now the pad is too old (are damage) and it is the time to repace.   The original pads are out of stock for several years and it is very hard to find (I live in Europe).   I was see this pads that are not original:  ...
