First, I should note that I auditioned these both straight out of the box, without any break-in time and then later after 53 hours of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite...
A very all-round headphone for me. Just the right one to take on the go or on holiday. Also as a DJ, nice noice isolation. Very durable so you don't have to wonder if it will break if you throw...
This quick review is done after a few hours of listening. I bought them from B&H for the decent sum of 150$. If you've done your research you'll find out that Ultrasone HPs are known for their...
I auditioned the SRH-1840 straight out of the box, and was unsatisfied with the sound, so I decided to give them a period of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite differences...
This is in part for fun and in part to save my wallet some suffering, what 3 sub-$500 cans would you choose if it were the last 3 pairs you could ever buy and you wanted to cover all possible genres of music?
I already have two of them, the Ultrasone Pro 900s for electronic and/or bassy music, and the Sennheiser HD-600 for mellow music. For aggressive music I'd pick the Grado SR-325i/is (already have the SR-80i and plan to upgrade to the 325). I listen to just about every conceivable genre out there, and maybe I have a blind spot, but I can't think of anything those three couldn't cover satisfactorily.
I haven't tried much so i would say the following.
Sennheiser hd 25 1 ii $200 does nothing wrong
Alessandro ms1 $99 Again does very little wrong
Shure srh840 $140 to much midbass but good nonetheless.
That's of what i tried. I ordered a pair of srh940 and if i'm not satisfied i might just stay satisfied with my hd 25 1 ii. I still am amazed at how good they are for my genres.
