Ultrasone's High-End Models
Hi all,
I am curious with Ultrasone's high-end models (Proline 750 and 2500). Has anybody used BOTH models before that can explain the main distinctions between the two models sonically (they sell for the same price at my headphone retailer, headphonic, so I am still deciding which I will get, If I decide to get an Ultrasone).
Thanks

This thread is your friend. Its a long read, but its worth it.
FS/FT: Koss ESP9
Ultrasone has pretty unique headphones, they work for some but for others, they dont work at all because of unorthodox driver placement and angling. But they should be very good when/if they match to your ears. Plus burn-in time seems quite long.

750 are closed, 2500 are open.
If isolation is a factor, the choise is easy.
Sound wise I find them to be different in the following aspects:
750 is more airy, lighter and sometimes has an echo/reverb that bloats the bass. More coloured (you can like it or not).
2500 is more full in sound, has no reverb or echo, but also sounds somewhat "flatter" . More neutral.
More in:

$150 amp vs. $250 amp?

What Kees said. I also have both. They are wonderful, professional-grade, reference-class cans with a slight edge going to the PROline 2500 for pure sonics and neutrality. Bass extension is ungodly deep, but never bloated, while upper-end detail is transparent and mercilessly revealing of source quality.
Mind you, both the PROline 750 & 2500 need a good 150 to 200 hours of proper burn-in before their titanium-plated drivers become supple enough to perform at their best!
