Audio-Technica ATH-A900 vs. Ultrasone DJ1 Pro

[Sargent Pepper]

Hey guys... was wondering whether the elite on these forums can break down which of these headphones is better?

My purposes entail video games (Xbox 360) and frequent music + computer use.

I tried comparing the specs until I realized how little I know about comparing audio specs

Any help?

Bump? By the way, I have a pretty decent deal for the Ultrasone's... ~ 180$ - that's why they're such a big contender for me, but if I had to spend the extra cash to get quality that will last me a longer time, then I'll purchase the former.

Did you seriously bump after only 14 minutes? At least wait a bit...you bumped a whole lot in your last thread, too. Your questions are just a bit too obscure for anyone to answer.

Anyway, most people on the forums haven't heard the DJ1 Pro let alone both the DJ1 Pro and the A900. Ultrasone as a company has a very unique sound sig that people either like or dislike. Of course it varies from headphone to headphone.

Probably not the 'elite' you speak of however i own a pair of the a900's. Great phones for games, which is a positive for you. From what i understand the Ultrasones are mainly for dj use and extended periods of listening. They have the s-logic natural sound system that lets them play using 40% lower db output at the same volume level, which essentially means you can use them for longer with no damage to your hearing. This seems a bit over the top imo unless you do indeed have your cans blaring at full tilt all day every day.
Can't speak from experience with the ultrasone's, but you wont be disappointed with the a900's if you snatch em up at the right price.
