come from a pair of Sennheiser HD280s and hear the beautiful detail and soundstage of a family member 's Audio Technica ath-ad700 I be amaze and want that kind of soundstage and detail with more oomph -lrb- basshead -rrb- . I go on the hunt for something that could deliver that kind of sound with the oomph that the ad700 lack . listen to a variety of music the ahd2000 deliver on every bit of my expectation . I drive they through a Fiio e7 usb dac and love everything about the sound that come through they . there seem to be no low note that these can not hit . Bass heavy electronic music like Bassnectar , excision , Koan Sound , Evol Intent , and Trentemoller be ultimately satisfy . every nuance of Joe Satriani come through wide and well separate . every touch of the pick , slide of the finger , and slap of the hand be audible in Trace Bundy . Melody Gardot 's voice be something to behold . endless clear bass , big soundstage , excellent mid and high -- I feel like these be a combination of the Audio Technica ath-ad700 and Audio Technica ath-m50 ... plus some . on top of the -lrb- what I feel be lovely -rrb- sound there be lot of other good point : they look great in my opinion and pick they up you can feel the quality material in they construction . the cable be ultra high quality and long . they be immensely comfortable . close to even the ath-ad700 . most other headphone feel uncomfortable after wear these . I really can not recommend these enough . for a do it all headphone -lrb- really , I can not find music they sound bad with -rrb- especially for basshead I think this be the way to go .
