Anyone know about the AD1000, or heard them?

The PRM version or the older one? Apparently (I don't think anybody here has had one...Don? Ken?) they're really thin and honky with the wrong amp. There's a review of the PRM at Headfonia.
The formula of headphone ownership satisfaction is oH = n+1, where "oH" is the optimal number of headphones you need and "n" is the number of headphones you currently own.

I've had the ad700, ad900, and the ad2000 but not the 1000 since I read reviews that they didn't have as good a price/performance ratio as those common three. Ive heard better stuff about the ad1000PRM though

This one - they call it "Japan import".

It's cheaper here. But look for the PRM if you want an AD series headphone. Better yet, gun for the AD2000?

I actually liked the ad900 better overall than the ad2000

The ad900, ad1000, and the ad2000 are all Japan Imports. The AD700 going down are made in taiwan
