Ultrasone Edition 8 - Page 120

Yes, it's interesting that the ed8 is the standard they judge against on those threads. Kind of like the vocal people who compare other phones against the HD800s as a standard but often come back after their earlier criticisms to embrace them later.
Figure you can guess that my ed8 LE aren't goin anywhere.

I found an Edition 8 for around $700 on Amazon, sold by Amazon Warehouse Deals. Is it a fake? Do fakes even exist? Amazon says that they're in "good condition with minor scuffing on the bottom and sides of the item." I can live with that.

I doubt they're fake. I've bought an ED8 locally for 500$, mint!

Excellent! Just a few more questions before I buy my most expensive headphones yet!

1. How's the bass? More or less than the Vmoda M80 ( the headphone I'm upgrading from)
2. Any known durability issues?
3. Do they have the metallic highs of the ultrasone pro 900 (no me gusta)

This might be heresy... but after going through the Edition 8s and Signature Pros in my quest for an awesome portable closed headphones, I liked the DT1350s most of all.

 

I'm not saying that the Edition 8s are not awesome.  They are!  However, they seem to lack a couple of things - the sound is not neutral and the bass seems clipped.  They are incredibly detailed though and I have not found a more comfortable headphone including the legendary HD800s.  I ended up favoring the Beyer DT1350s because they didn't seem to have any noticeable flaws and were perfect in portable situations.

 

The Ruthenium can get scratched up.  The Palladium version is supposed to be less bling bling and more practical, but that's way more expensive.

I could not get a good fit with the DT 1350, so the bass was not so good. And as I wear glasses the pressure on the ear where the frame is was too much. The best for someone who wants a good amount of bass and great isolation combined with a comfy fit is the Signature DJ imho though.
