Gotta see how these stack up against the likeness of Akg K702, HD650, d5000, etc.

man, i own a pair of pro750 and listen to (in this order) drum n bass, techno, house, dubstep and i can't imagine something being better than the pro750. the speed, prat, and upfront-ness of these headphones works WONDERS with dance music.

D5000 had more reverb, more balanced out of the 3Move amp and iPhone 3GS the last time i tried it at work :P

Pro 900 is different, less reverb, probably slightly less detailed with almost no echos in voices. But it is Bass Galore... Much more bass than D5000...

The Lily Allen "Never Gonna Happen" song was the benchmark that i had when the voices intercept, the D5000 had more depth and more seperation.

thats a good idea id like a 7000 comparison, i thing ill bet they are not as awkward as the denon, but i doubt theyre are alot more comfortable, however maybe i could see them coming close

Direct copy:

I read many posts on the Pro900, but few real experiences. So here is my first impression after 1 week listening experience.

I did a listening session on Ultrasone pro750, Pro900 and Edition 9.
My references are TripleFi's, Shure 530 and full-size open Philips HP1000.

The Pro 750 sound good, but not surprisingly great and different. Deep bass and very prominent highs. Sounds very much up-front. Voices are really 'there'. I liked it, but not like a big step compared to what I'm used to. And btw. I regard the TripleFi's as my reference for transparency, clarity and clean bass. Definately better than the Shures in this regard.

Then the Edition 9. This is another league! Very smooth and clean sound. Great bass and articulated highs but more layed back than the 750. It's difficult to describe in words but the smoothness is what striked me most. It's like looking a good normal TV and then watch a HDTV Bluray: you first think you see a very good quality image, nothing to complain about (750), then seeing all the details in the HDTV signal you can't believe was possible (Edition). OK, I exaggerate a bit to illustrate what I mean by the smoothness.

Finally, the Pro900. It does not have that smoothness as the Edition to my ears, but it was still in the same league! Great deep detailed bass, and nice highs, prominent, but not as up-front as the 750.

For me the SQ difference did not justify the price difference. Though I was not really looking for new cans, I ended up bying the Pro900.

After a week at home note the following. The bass can be overwhelming if either your amplification or sources are not good. Bad recordings / masterings are immediately heard on this one. In my combi iPod out / iQube it shines.
great revieew, id especially like to hear a back to back comparison between dj1 pro and pro 900 ??

thanks

I'd like to see this too!

I hear people mentioning the pronounced highs, but would any owners describe the sounds as sibilant?

My pro900's are arriving today. I had them shipped to my brother's US PO Box and he handed them off to my parents who are coming to my place over Xmas. Can't wait to hear what these sound like!

Also curious as to how the Pro900's will compare with my Pro2500's.

Congrats I would also be interested particularly in soundstage comparisons.

No Sibilance (Unless the song is artificially increased in the treble department most of the 99% of the time it wont have it). :P Ultrasone will present most music as it is recorded if you play back them on flat/off EQ. Of course depends on your source as well...

Pro 750 still have more sibilances then the Pro 900.
