So the only headphones I have ever owned have been cheapo $20 pairs. I listen to a ton of music though. I work online so I am always listening to music while working. I decided hey I enjoy music so much on these cheap headphones, I bet it would be pretty awesome to have a real pair of headphones. Anyways hours and hours of research later I went with the ultrasone pro 750's. Unfortunately I couldn't try the headphones before buying so I was just going off reviews.
I got it in the mail today and am listening to them now and they sound like ****... Well, it actually sounds like they are too good. Like I am hearing all the impurities of every recording, all the background noise, muffling, a lot of distortion and muffling sounds in the background. It just doesn't sound clean at all. It sounds like I can hear everything.
What's the problem? Am I only able to listen to certain pristine recordings? No youtube videos or songs from soundcloud? Even my spotify doesn't sound good though.
I am also listening from my laptop, no amp/dac. But from reading reviews, yes this isn't optimal but the headphones will still sound "good", at least better then my $20 pair. Unfortunately that's not the case. The music sounds way better on my cheap-o pair. It's just clean on my cheap pair of headphones. I don't hear all the impurities or distortions or muffling.
I also lose the sound everytime I move my head, which is pretty ****ty.
Someone tell me it's just a setting I have wrong or something, cause this is pretty disappointing. I mean on some things it sounds good. Classical music is pretty good. I can really feel the "soundstage", but even still it is not a very clean sound, kind of muffled. Dubstep isn't even listenable and that's what I had read these headphones were good for.
Is it just not possible to use these without a amp/dac? Or a better sound card?
