Final Thoughts: Sony MDR-XB1000 vs. Ultrasone Pro 900. Who is the Bass KING? ** Pictures ** - Page 8

To go out on a limb here. If you've heard a loudspeaker set up with EDM...they hit really hard. That's the Pro 900. If you've heard a decent set up with an actual subwoofer...that's the XB700/1000. 

The impact isn't there, but the bass is huge and goes deep.

I haven't heard the XB1000, so maybe it has this bass as well, I"m just pointing out that bass volume does not equal subwoofer-ish-ness.  < best word I've ever made up right there 
 

 

Definitely.  Like I said, I haven't heard the XB1000 to compare it with the D5000, but so far it has the most subwoofer bass I've heard in a headphone.  I would love to try the Sony, though, as I'm sure it compares beautifully.

DjAmTraX, I tried scrubbing through the thread to find my answer, but to no avail.

What headphone stand is that (below)?

That stand comes with Sony's SA-5000, though it may be possible to purchase the stand itself directly from Sony.
 

Thanks.

So, from what im gathering, the pro 900 feels compartmentalized, so the highs feel placed in a different area than the bass and result in sort of a mushed yet dynamic sound. 

The xb1000 from what ive gathered is more fluid and authoritative both in the demonstration of the highs, soundstage and lows.

Could you talk about the mid recession in the xb1000, if there is any? I'd like to know what voices sound like. Would you say they are on volume level with the rest of the instruments or pushed back a level?

Considering it's all Monster products you would have thought they would at least have Turbines but they don't even have that.

the 1000s are 300 msrp and you can find them for 200 if you're lucky.
