Title: ATH-AD2000x
Post by: ultrabike on May 17, 2015, 04:53:12 AM: These I guess are the evolution to the non-exes? Dunno, non-exes seem to have been checked out here before:

There are pretty efficient and look kind of martian like with their head wing-ies. They apparently feature a 53 mm large driver, and seem to target a more spacious presentation.

To me they are sort of bright and up hill tilted. They do have bass but I tend to like a moar. Lacks ballz.

One problem I have with these is that they seem to be designed for a fatter head. Other than that they are comfy.

Anyhow... Measurements:

I originally owned the AD2000 3 years ago and they blew me away. I had to sell them for unforseen bills but somewhat recently I was able to find the Ad2000x at a great price. Unfortunately they didn't scratch that itch that I had so I had to patiently wait for a great condition Ad2000 to show up.

Love the Ad2000, they melt me into music, the Ad2000x just don't really do it for me.

Thanks for the measurements!

I heard the 2000 years ago, so going by extremely unreliable memory the 2000x felt less peaky to me, but maybe overall brighter.

Post by: ultrabike on May 17, 2015, 11:58:13 PM: It's all relative. I have a sort of alien's head. More than comfort I had a fit (gap) issue with the top part of the pads. I was able to overcome it to some extent though.

As far as comparisons with the 2000, I would not be able to say since I only listened to these. However, the measurements do indeed seem less peaky with the 2000x.
