I like my bass tight and “secure” but I’m a not a basshead by any means. BTW, are you from Brazil, Argentina or Uruguai? Loved your pic with a “mate” while researching.
I am NOT from there, I’m American born and bred but I do enjoy my morning Mate with Rosamante Special and the B20 are a great “wake up and enjoy the Mate” headphones.
Fun thing with the B20, you REALLY need to listen to blues with them. “Riding with the King” with BB King and Eric Clapton sound SO GOOD on those headphones. They really do enjoy a mildly dark amp and sound source. Your RME should be ok but the Jotunheim might make the B20 thin (based on reviews and comparing the experience to my RNHP amp). But… JDS Labs Element, Schiit Heresy, Atom, etc… will fix that issue fast if really an issue.
B20 compared to the Sendy Aiva, they’re a wider sound stage. You won’t need swap pads on them. They’re comfortable enough I’ve worn them for 8 hours straight in a day without much issue besides a little bit of heat build up. Strap makes some noise as you move around sometimes but that’s about it. If you get a chance to listen to them on a balanced AMP, you may really enjoy them or it won’t sound any different.
Buying from a “music lover fried”. I hate “audiophile”. It sounds like a disease. Thanks a lot for your input! 
You’re going to love some music with these you may not have been the biggest fan of previously on the B20. I can’t speak for the D7200 unfortunately. But treating yourself to some of the finest ChiFi is worth it.
Wow! Thanks for your input guys. I research a lot before buying anything and while I like Z a lot, it’s great to have others’ opinions. I think for the prices here in Brazil, I think the Blon B20 is a great complementary phone for my D7000.
One last question if you don’t mind. I have an option (both used from well trusted friends) for buying a Focal Elex for about 3,5x the price of the Blon B20. I’ve watched and read every review of them. Are they worth it for almost 4x as much?
I don’t have a single Focal headphone. The Elex’s have a good following for many good reasons. But… I see they sold off after some time as well. I think the Elex’s would be a safer purchase, but the B20 does a great job of demonstrating some key aspects of planar if you have never heard one before. And the ONLY way I recommend buying a B20 is at a discount so I think the price made your mind up for you.
Oh… and the B20 looks SO MUCH better with Mate. They’re stupidly photogenic.
I thought as much. I’ve heard to some planars but again, I don’t rely or listen to them as much as I do on my speakers. I’ll make an offer on those Blon B20. I trust the guy since I bought used gear from him in the past.
Dago, as soon as get my hands on it I’ll get on doing some headphone pron. I’m out of my nikkors but I promess it to you.

What do you eat with your leaves?
… that’s Tea… you drink it. Look up Yerba Mate.
It looks like you went into the backyard and crumbled a bunch of leaves. threw them into a cup. =P
Congrats, your comment is offensive to many Germans and half of the South American continent. Just stop talking now.
As a matter of fact, I do have a Dark Voice amp I bought 3 or 4 years ago. Didn’t like it at all. I don’t know, I’m a failed musician so I have some gear and what is called “tube roll off” is like changing underwears to me. I have a ton of 6L6GC valves, NOS and Chinese. I like to keep them where they matter most to me… my guitar amps. Yea, know it’s a matter of taste. Like I sold one of my mesa boogie V heads for a lot of rack equipment…

The Mesa Boogie had such good distortion if a little dry if set up improperly. Always enjoyed the tone over the classic Marshall stacks.
I’m Brazilian but all 4 of my grand/mother/fathers are Spanish… I’ll grab a beer! (Here in Portuguese and Spanish Land we’ve allways had nouns for he and she…)

It’s a toss for me. Being a 80’s child / 90’s teen with cousins older than me teaching what’s right and wrong…
I’d pick a JCM800 given the "lone island"choice.

Anyone care to listen to this song: “You’ve Got to Have Freedom”?
I love love Pharoah Sanders music. That one is meant to annoy, that’s the point. Few speakers can resolve in a good way the sax in the beggining and during the song and the hi hats at the same time. My Elacs can… sort of. The D7000 can (sort of) but that comes at a price. These headphones give an illusion of detail, it’s hard to explain. I think anyone who’ve listened to the Fostex 900 can relate I think. It isn’t the highs alone… It isn’t neatpiking. It’s very important to the music I listen to. There’s a wall of sound but if you can’t discern the drums, all of it, it’s pointless. I play this kind of music, I go to gigs playing this music and it’s so frustrating it can’t be reproduced with all its’ power…
your profile pic was so iconic it will be missed. btw what happened to antpage1?

I used to use music artists for my profile pics. One of the bands i’m into. This one here is Devo. been listening to their music on Amazon. A lot of their albums have been remastered.
