Ultrasone PRO900 - Page 16

Page was updating while I typed heh, was distracted by a few things.

I understand the self-convincing power of the brain utilized when making records such that the brain would not be able to tell the difference. I also got distracted and failed to point the point I was concerned over that PeterPinna has made:

We are still listening to records made for stereo setups...or often 5.1, but really: assuming that we are using equipment for reproducing a record played in the studio, we are striving for something that bizkid put down: tonality similar to that of a speaker rig tuned to be flat in a well-treated room. He made his point very nicely and cleanly - and how this thread derailed into being or not being able to reproduce an acoustic performance using holophonic record techniques (wtf, we are not concerned over those records 99% of the time) - is beyond me.

MaloS,
I believe kwkarth is referring to post #219 in his most recent post.

Fzman,
For "crying out loud", please don't ask for flames!

With all the right queues supplied, and the right frame of mind to begin with, I believe essentially, yes, after a fashion. Obviously, one wouldn't actually lose touch with reality, but one would experience many of the same emotions and physiological reactions experienced in the live event, and perhaps involuntarily respond to audible queues, etc. In other words, one would experience the illusion of reality.

So... How about them 900's 'eh?

Yes, PLEASE, Jude or someone say something about the Pro 900's even if it's only that you like or dislike the smell of the leather or plastic or whatever!

Still Anxiously waiting for Jude's Impressions

Trying reverse psychology

I, for one, don't want to read any impressions from Jude. Really I don't.

Really.

I'm serious.

For real...

Yeah, me neither, really...

yah, headphones suck! whats the point of this forum anyway

I guess I'll be the first in line then.

It looks like they used the same "secret ingredient" grill and magnet position in the 900 as they used in the 650 to create the S-Logic Plus with more dampening material in the second and fourth holes (which are a bit bigger).

Maybe we can get more photos of the inside the can to get a better look at the driver? I wonder if it's these larger holes that provided the expanded frequency on the high end. I want to see the inside to determine if the dampening material causes the frequency to go so low. Or maybe the Pro 900 got inspired by kwkarth's mod.

Yeah, but it raises a question as well. If those were done to extended the upper part of FR, is it even needed when most of the users are complaining about Pro 750's harshness? And when, wherever over the harshness point is where humans can't pickup sound at all? It leaves me curious.

No, the larger holes, if that's what they are, would do nothing for the treble. If anything, they might muddy the bass a bit unless they're really well damped behind the driver. I can't tell from the pictures so far. They might actually "plug" the original holes found in the 750/650. My modded 650s are near perfect in the high end now with the mods.

This is probably one way to get the crazy low and high end. I think I figured out the Ultrasone enigma. 3 cans, 3 drivers and the Edition 9. And guess what, the Pro 900 is the last combination of the Ultrasone enigma (the titanium driver with the PL 650, 3D sound...S-Logic Plus) and yet they're still one of the best headphones out there...if not the best. Otherwise, why would we all be here discussing them?

x3 here -- no way!
