Hello all !   My boss asked me today to help him find a pair of head phones ...   1. Money is no object 2. listens to a lot of house/rnb 3. style is as important as performance... (cringe) 4. wants them for outdoor use. 5. will be driving them from an iphone   I'm only really...

Hello all,   Just got my first pair of full size cans - Ultrasone ED10 http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/527856/my-first-pair-of-full-size-cans-not-skullcandy-dr-dre   I also found out that Meier's Concerto is on sale on its website. Is it a good match for the ED10? I am sure a lot...

Interested in buying the best there is. I am after a closed headphone that is portable and will sound fantastic from an ipod, ipad and an Arcam/Sonos system. I would prefer not to use an amp. I seem to keep coming back to the Ultrasound Edition 9's. Has anybody used these with an ipod without an...

Meant to say, has anyone tried the Edition 8's with an ipod and without an amp. I need a closed headphone with minimal sound leak.Will be used portably in an ipod and ipad but also connected to an arcam/sonos system. Views welcome.

Hi Everyeone,   I am i the process of buying a pair of ESW10s after I had my ESW9s and decided to upgrade.    I pretty much liked the ESW9s apart from the fact that they were a bit slowish for Rock and Metal and I wanted a bit more details.   Do you think that looking at the portable...

well, ive had so many sets in my time and really none of them made me truly happy, recently I recabled my grado 325i woodies and its been the closest thing to happiness i ever found, but i still find myself drooling over other sets and comparing those sets i do own or have owned to other sets...

I try to avoid reading about or trying things that are way out of my budget but that has come back to bite me now that my budget has expanded.  I don't know much about custom IEMs and I've come to the conclusion I need a pair.   My room is too damn noisy.  As I sit in my room, the various...

Just found an article about the Edition 8s. Few facts: -They should be out around 04/2009. -A newer, "S-Logic Plus" is used. -Ethiopian sheep leather is used again, and the entire headband is covered this time. -Instead of plastic, Ruthenium was used in the housing. -The inner...

Just wondering if anyone has had the pleasure of listening to both of these fine headphones. It seems like they should be natural competitors but I cannot find any comparative reviews.

I know that sources and amps for full-sized cans are a different world from those for IEMs, but if I want to make use of my current source and amp for my IEMs, currently the Hifiman HM801 and the RSA Black Bird (trading for a RSA Protector soon), which of the following headphones would probably...

Now, At home, I don't really use headphones because I started with speakers, and am buying headphones in order to take my music on the move. Does anyone have any experience powering the T1's with a portable amp? The ED8's? Or 9's? Portable is a must! I listen to Alternative Rock, Electronic...

Hello, I've decided to get my audio addiction to a new level and I plan to get a very nice sounding home system in the near future (to me that means around 2 years). However, I'm also in the process of replacing my IEMs with portable headphones (due to fit issues, not related to the tips but...

- First of all, the isolation on offer. Is it anything like the regular closed Ultrasones? - Secondly, the cup size: Could you measure the external cup height, width and depth?     Many thanks

Can portable DAC-AMP handle Ultrasone Edition8 ?   Now I have an issue with highs. (Shrill)  So I try to listen with very low volume. (Direct from MacBook Air 1 or 2 level of maximum volume)   If portable DAC-AMP (such as iBasso D4 cause I don't have pretty much budget) can make Edition8...

Ok, I started with many IEM's until I settled on the SE530 which I love. Then I started on cans where I got the SRH840, then the Senn HD 25-1 and now have the Beyer T50p's arriving on Tuesday(all within a span of 6 months). I'm looking for the best portable closed headphone out there. Should I...

I believe your average consumer is not very smart. I have come to the conclusion that people buy Monster Beats because they do think they sound better than "audiophile" headphones (and marketing). Don't get me wrong there are a few who can hear but quite a few cannot. I am just saying it is not...

Hi,   I would be thankful if you could give me some tips for a complement to my HD-800. I am going to shop around and be a bit unfaithful to my dear HD-800. I would like to have something more sexy, daring and interesting affair than my usual analytic, precise and comfortable listening...

  Hi,   I`m new to this forum, so go easy. I'm looking for the best portable amp with DAC, that synergizes the best with the ultrasone edition 8. I'm looking for an amp that is suitable for home use and on the go with my ipod. I listen to different kinds of music, bass is important. My...

Only 888 pairs will be produced   http://www.phileweb.com/news/d-av/201005/06/25896.html  

Hi folks   Great forum, but boy is it hard to make any decisions with so much information to hand :)   Im trying to get my hands on some headphones for movies, music and games. Roughly in that order. I read one review of the Ps1000s saying they were amazing for detail and they're...

Hello   I'd like to ask. Which are more suitable for me between an used pair of Edition8 and a new pair of Westone ES5 (They cost same here). I plan not to use DAC-AMP (or maybe a non-expensive portable one in the future). Using straight from Macbook Air and maybe new iPod nano as a new...

So I have been enjoying my Westone 3's for several years.  I use them all the time at the gym out of an iPod.  Always enjoyed them.   And then, something happened.  I bought a pair of Ultrasone Ed 8's and began listening to them a lot at home.  I listen to them thru my Cary 300 and for me it...

My headphone repertoire is: Sennheiser HD 800 Beyerdynamic Tesla T1 Audeze LCD-2 Ultrasone Edition 8 Ruthenium Beyerdynamic DT770 600 ohm Grado RS1i Denon D5000   I listen mainly to classic rock, progressive rock, and hard rock with a bit of classical and dubstep mixed in.  ...

For you who have Ultrasone Edition 8, I'd like to ask you whether you think they're worthy or not in term of SQ per bucks. Becasue I can't found portable cans that range around ED8 do. If the ED8 aren't described as cosmetically expensive cans, I think I'd like to try them. (Sell SA5000 and...
