Lemme clarify here. I have a pair of ultrasones so I can already say that I want a deeper bass than the tight bass that the ultrasones produce. I want the bass to be tight, and have a deep, rumbling sub-bass. Something maybe "darker?" than the ultrasone sound...the ultrasones are a bit too crisp...

Whats happening,    like the title says I'm in the market for some cheap, durable, and portable overear headphones. I have some ultrasone pro900s at home but those need an amp and I hate the inconvenience of dragging one around with me. I need a pair of headphones that "go to 11" soundwise...

Can I run these without an amp? I have pro900s that I need to amp and I'm looking for some sturdy bass heavy headphones that I don't need to amp...would these fit the bill? 

what do you guys think about using the magni with the pro900s? 

Quote:     Really??? so glad I didn't get that e7. What differences are you noticing off the bat? 

Haha the band sun O))) is after one thing and one thing only: to find the "brown note". They have postulated that there is a note of low enough frequency sound that it can actually make people poop their pants...this is called the "Brown note"...its science not insanity lol (note....its not...

You know what I took the leap..I found a pair of klipsch x10i lou reed (purple, yeah but I like it lol) on amazon for 230 new and I grabbed them. I had to expedite shipping because I wanted it NOW and I just got them hours ago. I love them. They are great. The cord makes a lot of noise when you...

Yeah! Gotta love those 9+ % beers!    Is anyone here as off the IPA craze as I am? I think the time has passed and I am just about done with people "hyper-hopping" beers just because its fashionable now-a-days. 

^ sunn O))) eh? Did you poop? they are on that quest to find the "brown note"

Yeah I think when I sent them in something else went wrong because they came back sounding worse then when they left! Hopefully whatever their RMA process is it works better then it did before lol. I would love to be as bold with my DIY projects as you are with yours, do you know how to solder...

Has anybody enjoyed the brewery: Unibroue? La Fin Du Monde is one of my favorite all time beers, all there stuff is actually incredible. 

I really hope they can actually fix them if not they assured me they would replace them...they have been really cool about it but $50 worth of shipping later and no ultrasones i'm not the happiest. You think they would accept a trade in if I wanted to trade up to the edition 8s? 

The drivers blew (by themselves actually) and then when they fixed it the left ear stopped working and the right driver was also a bit weak. Been a bad run of luck I've had them so little I'm not even missing them which is sad

You guys do what you will, but I have sent my Ultrasones in twice to be fixed and both times it was done FO FREE b.c warranty

How do you feel about Indie music?    You gotta get some Sufjan Stevens--Album: Illinois---but if you only want to pick one song: Chicago    Sorry its not HQ--good song though    and finally if you don't have the band- The XX you need their self titled album      I'll...

Zero 7   Chromatics   Sufjan stevens- Album: Illinois   Explosions in the sky-- Albums: All of a sudden I miss everyone, and take care, take care, take care    The xx

El Ten Eleven- Album: Every Direction is North   The Smiths- Albums: The Queen is Dead, and Strangeways here we come   Explosions in the Sky- Albums: EVERY ALBUM

oh man this one. This is the best song ever made. 

In the immortal words of Gogol Bordello's front man Eugene: "start wearing purple" get the x10i  

haha just bought the lou reed edition for 225 or something...**** yes purple headphones. 

good thing I almost impulse bought those 270 ones...I can't buy used stuff anymore after I had such a hard time with buying and repairing my Ultrasone pro900s twice--it was awesome that they were 300 and came with everything, but they have spent more time getting repair than I have spent using them

woah thanks man! wait whats the difference between the two (lou and regular)

I have a 4s :(...that klipsch image x10i for 270 isn't looking too bad right about now

Ugh this is frustrating, does anybody know what the best possible IEM's that have a mic and iPhone controls? I don't mind spending like 350-500 I use them everyday all day it makes sense to have the best I can get...are there any custom IEMs that have iPhone controls?
