MD Series Customer Feedback (MD2000, MD5000, MD7000)

 

“I literally listened to the headphones for 2 minutes and will be ebaying my re-cabled K701's and HD650's ASAP. Wow, I listened to some baroque chamber that I know well and its beauty brought a tear to my eye for the first time. Thanks so much!”

–Bill M., USA

 

“I just wanted to let you know that the headphones have arrived on time and ok. In fact, you repacked them in the box so well and left them with no scratches or anything that I could determine such that after a while I began to panic and was scared you accidentally just sent a pair of unmodified headphones. I eventually had to start to open them up just to verify and breathed quite the sigh of relief when I saw that little plastic ring from your mod. Kudos on such an excellently professional looking job there.”
–Josh S., USA

 

“After extensive testing. I think you just turned my $250 phone to a $1K ++ phone. The Mid is so clear & the bass is so well defined. The workmanship is excellent. Very very impressive job.”

–Roy C., USA

 

“Wow! My first comment is a fantastic improvement in separation...sounds coming from all angles. The bass is also much more under contol allowing the mids and highs to shine. They have over 200 hours on them. I now have the detail and bass I wanted. I could NEVER go back to the stock cans.”
–Don S., USA

 

“I received the Denon headphones yesterday. I am listening to them right now here at work (connected to a TTVJ Millet 307A amp and using an Audio Research Ref CD7). Initial impression is VERY positive. I have heard the stock Denons before (actually used to own a pair) and find your modded pair MUCH better in tonal balance and soundstage depth. My biggest complaint with the stock pair was that the music seemed "artificial" in some way. Not anymore. I have compared them to the JVC DX1000's and they are a much more balanced headphone tonally. I also have a pair of R10's next to me right now and have been comparing them to the MD5000's. Some may say that you were exaggerating when you said that the MD5000's can keep up with, and in some ways surpass, the legendary Sony MDR-R10's. I will not be one of those people. Must say that they really are quite awesome. Thanks again for the great work. I am impressed.”

“The D5000 has now regained first place, a position it lost when I bought the W5000. The W5000 moves to second place, and the HD600 and the DT990 move to the closet. I find now that the W5000 has less bass than I want. The modded D5000 is, for me, outstanding, and is getting almost all my headtime. The bass seems balanced with the midrange, and the treble is slightly less forward (which I like).”

– David J., USA

 

“First impression is wow, what an improvement. I listened to the modded ones first, and switched to the stock ones and my first impression was "what the heck?! These are way too boomy." In fact, the unmodded ones reminded me of the Bose Triports with better separation and detail of course. The unmoded pair had plenty of bass, but totally out of control. I can't wait to hear these after full burn in. :)”

–Kevin L., USA

 

“I just peeled the phones off the head, and I must say it was an impressive listen. The entire midband and treble are falling into line quite nicely. Clean,clear and quick with a stat' quality unlike most moving coils I've heard. The bass is a little plummy yet, it has improved since first fire-up (they have been playing non-stop) and I assume that it will improve with time. If not it adds a drama factor I can live with. It's balance is quite good! I can't believe it's the same phone I spent twenty minutes with and boxed for return. I might have a contender for a new favorite phone (and that ain't blowing smoke up the kilt). I can't wait till you grab the D7's and work the magic. I will want a pair of those also!!! “

–Alan C., USA
 

“They're doing great. They are sharing time with my Edition 9's, but have definitely booted my ALO K701's from the totem pole. Your denon is as a balanced a headphone as I think I have heard. VERY happy with them.”

–Bob S., USA

 

“Even without burn-in, they sound great. I have been running them now for about 5 days, and will keep note of any changes. They do sound remarkably like the R10s as I recall their sound. I will without doubt be selling my Senn. 650/revelations. Thanks again for all that you have contributed to the improvement of these phones!”

– Ron K., USA

 

“On the strength of a brief audition ,despite my inexperience as a critical listener, I am duly impressed with their fullness and richness and upfront-ness of sound. I am completely satisfied. Thank you for your work and your efficient courtesy in handling our transaction.”

–Harvey S., USA

“Got the phones in my hands today, thank you once again for getting these to me so quickly. I am already starting to listen and picking up on new subtleties in my music and the sound stage has definitely increased. I wanted to thank you once again and will be sure to recommend you and your services whenever possible.”
– George D., USA

 

“Received. It's beautiful and sounds glorious. Still burning in, though. Very happy with my decision and have already recommended it to a Head-Fi friend.”

–Michael C., USA

 

“My headphones have now arrived safe and sound to me and although they are brand new I think they already sound terrific!

I want to thank a lot you for your work, service and good answers to my many questions. I have already recommended you to friends and I will continue doing so. Maybe I contact you in the future if I decide to upgrade my cable!”

–Lars B., Sweden

 

“Dear God but these MD7000 are something special. But you already knew that or you wouldn't have poured so much blood, sweat, toil and tears into your modification business.”
