Thanks Bill!

My prior to seeing your post my son was already leaning towards the AT, so I guess his research was fairly sound.

He is tempted to save and get the D-2000 but is concerned that the cord is too long and thick. He definitely wants some degree of mobility.

The Ultrasone Hifi 780 or Pro 750 are better cans (both have strong bass, but EQ balance as well), but many like the AT. I personally am not wild about the "V" shaped EQ that the AT offers, but I too hate rap & the rest of the newer "stuff" that is ultra bass heavy to the point of distortion--and usually at the expense of mids and/or highs.

Thanks Bill - He ordered the pro-750!

Let me know how he and you like them, Jim--after they arrive and have been burned in.

Grado RS 2i Headphones
 

At $374 shipped from Electronics Expo by way of Amazon, these headphones are far from cheap. Yet I've never seen them priced lower. They have a sweet sound and sound stage, great real (non exaggerated bass) and a very natural sound. They are very easy to drive. They are light and I find them to be very comfortable.

Jim heard them last month when we were comparing a few headphines in his basement (sorry SSpoom!). Only a couple shown to be left:

You've got to be kidding. $374 for headphones? Must be nice being a rich lawer.

Chicken feed trailer park boy--these are $2,000:

Ive seen headphones go for more than that. Check out Klipch's stuff. A+++ stuff. Id kill to have the cash to do a home theater in their top shelf stuff.
