The sound of the Ultrasone Pro (Proline) 750 Headphones - Page 31

"Bose is a dirty word around these parts my friend."
Yes, I know. I've never liked Bose. In case you missed my meaning, I was saying that Bose, in my opinion, are unnatural sounding headphones. My comment was definitely not a compliment about Bose headphones.
I "love" these terms like "forward sounding". I think what you mean is that you want a more prominent sounding mid-range. Is this correct? Or, do you want the entire frequency range to be more prominent? If the later is correct, you might try turning up the volume. I know that might sound simple and ridiculous but it actually works in satisfying some listeners.

Thanks Cov... nice to be back.

Thank you for your kind words. I really don't think the "majority" thinks I'm totally wrong. But those who do think I'm wrong are very prominent in their objections to my comments.
My friends, it is all a matter of perspective and application. In other words, what do you want from a headphone and how do you plan to use it? For my purposes, the Pro 750 serves me well. I've never said that there is no better headphone than the 750. Indeed, there probably is a better headphone. But, can that better headphone withstand the rigors of a studio production situation where critical listening is a must while other audio activities are going on simultaneously? The audiophile who can sit in an easy chair listening to a pair of beautiful sounding and probably highly breakable headphones, might not find the Pro 750 as satisfying as I do for my purposes. I'd be willing to bet, though, that audiophile would not dare so much as attempt doing with those beautiful headphones what I consider common place professional activities for which I use my Pro 750.
And, yes, I do listen with the Pro 750 for personal enjoyment as well as for professional "critical listening". Why? Because, in production situations, I've done enough with them to know that the audio I hear through them sounds so close to what I've heard in the studio that it causes me to be confident that what I hear when listening to a commercial recording with them is extremely close to what the audio engineer of that particular recording intended for the listener to hear.
Finding the time to listen to other headphones for personal enjoyment is a major challenge for me. Yes, I certainly would like to hear a headphone that I like better than the Pro 750. I have a sense though, that when, and if, I ever do find that "better headphone", unless it's another headphone made specifically for professional production application, I won't be able to use it, without a certain amount of trepidation, in the studio.
