Given your setup, and owning/having owned both headphones in question, I would definitely lean towards the DT250. As long as your ears are small enough that they don't press against the inside edges of the pads, they should be very comfortable and give you some decent isolation. You should be...

Quote: Just by checking the site for other things following the Ultrasone deal. As soon as I saw this thread pop up, I knew the OP had done the same.

I know. But at the same time, I am happy if I helped some other members to take advantage of this.

Are you in for a sad story? I'm the guy who posted the source of the W1000, and had already found them before this thread started. I had already scored two of the Ultrasone PRO 650, and while I was preparing to order my own W1000, I took the time to respond to this thread, and then my wife...

You are out of control .

Quote: I'm getting that feeling too. Now you've got me very curious as to what other treasures might be in your music collection.

Musician's Friend is clearing them out.

Quote: Definitely WAS true, but the 13 units reported to be on hand from Musician's Friend sold out very soon after I bought mine, and then they switched to another supplier and jacked the price back up. This is the same way it went when the HD 580 was on its way out. I'd keep an eye on...

For those who missed out on this, the remaining stock was handed over to Amazon.com  (as I suspected would happen) for the same price with free shipping. Just picked up two pairs .

This is actually one of the albums I've always used to test headphones for treble handling. It's a true Grado killer . Besides John Cale's original mixes of The Stooges, I haven't ever come across anything with treble this wicked, especially on the first track. I absolutely agree that Let Love...

I've collected virtually everything released since Birthday Party times, so it's very hard to make a single album recommendation besides The Boatman's Call. Before delving much further into Nick Cave's catalog, I suppose what I would do is go back quite a bit further along the timeline and see...

I personally think that very few musicians sound as consistently good in live/unplugged settings as Amy Ray and Emily Saliers (Indigo Girls). I saw them live so many times throughout the 90's that I lost count. Unfortunately not too many official unplugged-type recordings exist, but the bonus...

I think you should consider your needs for CD ripping and file conversion carefully, and see if dBpoweramp Reference would be worth the price. You could use EAC or foobar2000 for ripping CDs to FLAC, and the free version of dBpoweramp Music Converter to transcode your FLACs to ALAC, but if you...

Quote: Another relevant question about Rip is whether it will work with your system. It's Mac-only software, and if you've been using Winamp, that would seem to suggest you're a Windows user.

Quote: gorgonmusic,   While it isn't my job to clean up these discussion boards, and likewise isn't even in my nature to try to put others in check for their comments, I still feel as though someone ought to tell you that your incessant, baseless posts about these B&W P5 headphones is...
