Hey guys,   Where is the best place to order Ultrasone HFI 2400?   Amazon ships it immediately, $300.00, but it's only fulfilled by Amazon, and sold by Pavillion Electronics.  http://www.amazon.com/ULTRASONE-HFI-2400-Professional-Open-Back-Headphones/dp/B002W37ESY   DJDeals.com...

Quote: I read that the DT880 is more analytical and bright than the DT990, so that is why I mentioned DT990.  You don't agree that the DT990 is a better choice for someone with my preferences?   

I have a KICAS Caliente Amp. 

I need recommendations for a good full-size headphone, ~$300.    I really enjoy a strong mid-bass (125 - 250 hz).  I am very sensitive to and fatigued by a sharp high-end or loud super-deep bass.  I tend to like rolled off highs.    Sennheiser PX-100 are pretty much my favorite headphone of...

No, I definitely tried unplugging and plugging, and also switching, the cables.    I was definitely quite rough with the PX100s (actually I would probably still continue to buy them if they were available, no other portable headphone will ever compare) but I treated the HD650 like a queen. ...

This may not be the appropriate place, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend an alternative to the HD650.  The left speaker on mine went dead 2 weeks after the 2 year warranty expired.  After going through 4 pairs of PX100s that broke, and now this, I've decided to not buy Sennheiser...

They're manufactured by the same company that makes Monster Cables ... it's pretty clear they're a cynical branding exercise made by a company that doesn't care about audio, just about bilking money from impressionable young kids who see "Dr. Dre" and decide it must be a good product.

I recommend the Sennheiser PX100, though I am admittedly a pretty huge fanboy for these phones. They're pretty much universally admired though, except for people who like bright, strong highs and dislike the rolled-off PX100 highs. I like it that way though, because it makes them extremely...

As far as the MDR-V6 goes - it is a fairly bright, very neutral headphone. It will reproduce sound accurately and has great detail and good isolation but, imo, it is not very fun to listen to.

I am not sure getting something closed and circumaural is a great idea. They will be bulky, they will not offer better sound quality, and you will look fairly eccentric walking around with large phones on your head. I understand you probably want to block out sound, but I just don't think they...

You just have to tug firmly. Don't be worried about breaking anything.

I will add that imo the PX100 are the coolest-looking of the 3.

hope you found one at a good price and am interested in reading the review.

I've had the same problem. My first set lasted ~2.5 years. My second set lasted 6 months. I've already made a thread about this, but I think the new-style PX-100 plug is even more fragile than the old one.
