Member Reviews: Ultrasone Signature Pro

Just received these babies to replace my Ed8 for portable use. I must agree that they don't sound as "Wow" as the Ed8 on first listen. Although all the detail is there, the soundstage feels a tad more congested than the Ed8, the upper registers with female vocals have that metallic tinge to them. Thats kinda surprising since I've been listening to the EX1000 the past month or so extensively.   Anyhow, the Fostex HP-P1 can't seem to drive the SigPro as well as I had hoped.

Running gear: * JDSLabs built Objective2. * HRT Music Streamer II. * Lots of lossless audio and MP3-320. * Also tested with Fiio E17 Other cans I own(ed) that I may be compairing these to: * Grado GS-1000 (non-i) * AKG K701 * Sennheiser HD 25-1 II * Grado SR225i (Modified) * Grado SR80i w/ L-Cush Pads I'm loving having closed headphones at home, and the SigPros are very nice indeed. At first I found them a bit bass heavy however, today is a new day and I'm not noticing it as much as yesterday, This could be me getting used to them (Highly probable) but it could be them breaking in and allowing the mids to sound more freely. As far as closed headphones go I think they are as fast as...
