Here is some good info on the Ortofons vs. the Ultrasones. The official word from Ultrasone on the matter: “ORTOFON O-one headphones are different in color design and they also use different drivers. But they feature our patented S-Logic-Technology and MU metal shielding.” The review of...

I use both ears if I'm at home and don't want to disturb whatever lady is sleeping in my bed 5 feet away...haha.

Just fitted my ADDIEM's with comply T-140 foam tips, which is what they have listed on the comply website as the mates with the 2nd gen Apple IEMs. It really transformed them. I'd consider myself a basshead but I am actually falling in love with the balanced sound that these offer...

X3 on the dual-driver Apple IEM's. I just paired my with Comply foam tips and they are a different set of earphones. Bass improves dramatically. HOWEVER, if you want the real deal bass, the Super.fi5 EB is like being in a club. True subwoofer bass in your head. Just depends on if you want...

This thread may have some useful info to you.

yeah, i was having the same dilemma, choosing between the HD-25's and something a bit off the beaten path. I wanted something to double as high-quality home listening cans for electronic music and the Ultrasones were getting a ton of hype in this department. I haven't heard the HD-25's so I...

I can vouch for the Ultrasone DJ1 Pro's. They're sick.

congrats, man. you'll dig 'em.

The M50's are sweet. I bought them for DJ'ing, which they aren't exactly built for...either they don't mate well with my dj rig or cans tuned for studio monitoring take away something needed for beatmatching. HOWEVER, uut of all the cans that I have tried, they are the sweetest sounding for...

I think the ATH-M50's would probably work well for what you are looking to do and they don't really require an amp. I was driving them from my MacbookPro and they sounded great. I'm sure you can get them within budget, too.

hey guys, thanks for all of the help. sorry for taking this long to respond. for some reason, I missed the last 5 or 6 posts and thought the thread had died until Young Spade bumped it. THANK YOU for the detailed breakdown, Pianist, and to everyone else for the help. So Bullseye is right, I...

Thanks for the reply, John. I'm a DJ so that's where I came across these in the first place and I know they're pretty much the standard in Europe. What sort of response have you gotten from the DJ community in terms of why they like them so much and have you re-engineered successive models...

Bass is very important to me and I just got the Audio Technica ATH-M50's for $122 from Amazon. They're pretty amazing for the price, with woofer like, tight bass that doesn't sacrifice the mids and highs. I've read reviews on Gearslutz of people who like the M50s better than the HD280's...

Is anyone able to comment on the sound from these vs. the Audio Technica ATH-M50's? Sorry if you're seeing this question from me pop up in different locations. I had a hard time deciding between the two and went with the M50's. Just wondering if anyone likes one over the other for any...

I searched this thread (and the entire forum) for a direct comparison of the HD25's to the ATH-M50's but haven't found one, so sorry if I missed this. They seem to be targeting the same type of user and I have a morbid curiosity because I recently purchased the M50's.

WOW. Love all the responses. I hesitated even posting because I sounded a bit crazy and it wasn't really about one set of headphones in particular, but man am I glad I did, this really IS the support group. Whoever collected all the funny bits did an amazing job. And I appreciate all of the...

Can any owners of both compare these to the ATH-M50's? Much appreciated.
