Hi Acix
i'm looking for a good portable can (to use it with my DAPs). This one looks interesting. Have you tried the Sony CD900ST as well? I wonder how it compares...

Yes, they can be a great portable and much more @ 35 ohms. No experience with the sony.

DBI International (dbi Pro705 Headphones | dbi International), a company which specializes in providing listening stations for CD Stores apparently uses a combination of Nakamichi CD players and what they call DBI Pro705 headphones.



I suspect that the Pro705 is actually a rebranded German Maestro.

I listened to the pro 705 and it was very2 neutral with punchy mid bass, but not like an overwhelming bassy phone. Very2 musical too. A bit like the HD25, with bigger soundstage and more impact in bass.. Nice.

Hehehe, they do remind me the HD25ll, better mids, bigger sound stage more impact in bass and overall better resolution.

About the dbi Pro705 they do look one the GMP 8XX series. Need to check out the driver specifications.

I came across one of these listening stations at a department store here (couldn't tell if it was Nakamichi). It was a Virgin Music station. I hope these just aren't rebranded GMP's, I didn't like the dbi's all that much. Maybe it was the source, but there was nothing spectacular about the sound; I didn't notice any bass impact either. Also the comfort wasn't that up to par on the dbi. They seemed very sturdy though.

The cups are a little bit smaller than the Ultrasone, the PL models. It's about the size of the HFI models, but different construction. Overall, they're lighter than all of the Ultrasones. The driver is about the same size, but it's more close to the AKG drivers in the structure and the sound characteristics. The overall sound will be more natural, but you'll still get a very deep bass. It seems to go lower than the Ultrasones.

They can be used well as portable headphones. The insulation is better than the Ultrasone. Most importantly, the clamping force on the head is not as strong as the Ultrasone, which is great for people who have big heads like me.

They earned that right. Highly regarded studio cans, un breakable, and German. TY for the PM Ray. They would compliment my DT48 nicely.
