Hello everyone!
I'm new to this forum and usually post on GearSlutz.com, a similar high-end audio engineering topic Forum you might have heard of.
I'm currently working with the classical Sony MDR-7506, which I find great but only because my ears are used to it (about 8 years). Now I start to realize I should try some other heardphones, just for the sake of my mixes.
What I'm looking for : more realistic without sounding "clinical", that don't give me any translation issue when I switch to my mid-field Monitors, and that can potentially be used as reference audio source for a great mix.
My price range was $300-500, so I started asking the professionals behind the HeadRoom website who suggested (along with other great advices) the well-known open-back AKG K702 according to my requirements.
Yet, a year ago in L.A. I heard the closed-back Ultrasone Pro750 and was really amazed by their S-Logic technology, but not quite conviced by its mix-translation fidelity potential so I decided not to rush on it... Until they released the Ultrasone Pro 900 that got really good reviews, even on this forum.
My issue is that I have NO access to either of them, so I would need people with some good mix experience to be my ears, and help me out deciding which one suits my needs the best :
- Ultrasone Pro 900 have this S-Logic technology with this surround-like feel like with real monitors
- AKG K702 have these detailed mid and upper-mid ranges that I never had in my 7506
= Both of them have an impressive bass reproduction according to the tests I've read.
Now,
Did anyone ever had the chance to hear / compare both of them ?
Thanks for your time, and for sharing your passion!
