maybe a bit, but they produce a very different sound signatures.
depending on your type of music, but AH-D2000 is more neutral.

i guess i could get W1000 cheaper... like $350 or so, since i ordered it straight from japan.


*edit*
yaaay... i made the 1000th reply!!!!

Gj on the 100th post .

So i just bought my girl a samsung p2 (8 gigs of jelousy...) which i love as an mp3 player. It's bright, clear as all hell, and its a touch screen.
But Im wondering what kind of phones to get it.

Right now im looking at these, as they are wont drain the battery like a pair of cans, but will grab her little ears nicely.

I can get them for 25 bucks which is also another point to getting these. Im also considering a nice pair of iems. limit on the iems i about 50ish bucks.
The razers also come with a nifty carry pouch, that carries your mp3 player and your headphones.

EDIT: and can someone explain to me why an amp wouldnt help with my phones, i understand my card and power the a500's, but i would like to know the specifics of it.

Well, I love the grados but the only issue i have is that they are behind head, and they may not rest her ears nicley, and i cant know without her wearing them... As for iems, whats good out there.
EDIT: and ill just have to buy a leather pouch if i dont get the razers.
