Ordered a balanced cable for my he400 recently,just to let everyone know how hard and what crazy hours Frank is currently working,Im in the uk,couldn't sleep one night so fired an email off to Frank,thinking he'd read it in the morning,at 4am I received a reply! Lol I mean....4am and Frank was...

Still using neco's first v1 amp,been listening to my new he-400's today and still sounds great,looking at the specs of the v3,think I'll msg neco about one fully kitted,I'm certain it's a sure fire winner and sensible prices in the uk for a change!

Just a few thoughts after no more than 8 hrs listening. I'm not hearing what I'd call an overly dark headphone,warm to me,I found 650's a little darker,but given a few days and praps I'll change my mind?dark headphones for me were my old 80's 600ohm beyerdynamic 990's,dark as in sonically being...

Just wanted to say thanks for starting this thread and the review,also thanks for people's helpful comments concerning the he-400,have mine here in the uk now,and think there great,more expensive than cans like hd650's over here(of which I've had two pairs lol) but to be honest if these...

Hi,I'm in the market for some IEM's and amongst others i'm thinking about the Senn's, can someone tell me how the mid's are presented in the IE7 and IE8's? If i was watching a band on stage would i feel like i was almost there with them or sitting further back? hope that makes sense! I'm...

Thanks for the info in this thread,very interesting! i had some of these in hand today but i suspect like many others put them back on the shop shelf thinking for this price they can't really be very good? I need to sort something out this week as my Xin portable amp got damaged beyond sensible...

Nice to see this thread still rolling along,i'm still loving my 2500's more by the day and after a few weeks use would now class them as the most enjoyable headphone's i've owned. Any half decent recording just sounds right to my ears, plenty of attack and bite when needed but still remaining...

Blimey!!! if this thread gets much bigger it'll need its own indexing system I had to go and shave twice during my first marathon attempt at reading the whole thing Anyway its been well worth the effort with these 2500's,i've had them running non stop for eight day's including LOT'S of...

This is in danger of becoming the son of There's something about Ultrasone's thread Just to be different i'll suggest the Proline 2500

For someone who has had mixed results from burn in with past can's,these Prolines are going a long way to convincing me of its merits. The bass seemed to get pretty dominant after minimal hours before easing back a little to weighty,defined with very nice extension,ideal for me The mids and...

Well my 2500's turned up almost before i had my eye's open today,and i found myself listening for five hours straight.I only intended to have a quick listen to make sure everything was OK before sticking them on my spare dvd drive to cook for a while,but i enjoyed what i was hearing so stuck...

Thanks Dexdexter,yes i've been reading about the changes from these over time,should be interesting to hear for myself. I've had very mixed views on burn in over the years but have experianced some strange phenomina,have had for example three pairs of HD650's of which one pair sounded terrible...

P S I’ve just caught a gecko trying to get in the back of my computer I put it out in the garden The house is fully insect screened, I don’t know how they get in ! Sounds a bit wicked to me, what's wrong with the odd gecko having a kip in your pc?think of all the insects it would keep out...

Thanks for the welcome! Nice review captian,i must say that choosing the 750 or 2500 was a bit of a toss up for me,in the end i chose the 2500 as isolation is not really going to be an issue,i can make much more noise with my guitars than will be heard from the Ultrasones! I'll be using these...

I see there's a new and infectious disease around headfi called Ultrasone,i look in now and again like an idiot and it costs me money! I should have a pair of 2500's tommorrow and will be more than a little interested to find out what they sound like over the next few day's or so. So many...

People must be luckier than me when they import anything as the few bits i've ever purchased abroad have alway's led to vat+ handling charge's[thats when they rip the package open for you ] and on one occasion royal mail charged me extra shipping Purchased a cheap dac from China[which i sold...

Nice to see the 150's still popping up on the forum,i still use mine a lot and like them just as much! Swt those woodies look great,you sure know how to make good use of your workshop,plus you have the satisfaction of owning a one of a kind!

Just makes me happy i don't like IEM's but for people in the EU that do and have been waiting for the E500 there's a simple solution if the EU price turns out to be silly,either grit your teeth and part with the cash, or don't buy them!!! There was a hifi dealer near me that had some grado and...

Hi all,Nice to see i'm not the only one still enjoying the 150's. Swt your right about the DR150 ipod 5g combo sounding good but would just add that after being ampless for a week or so i put my sm3 back with the ipod and was blown away by how much more weight and depth the sound had along with...

Quote: Originally Posted by plainsong I don't know about the new dt770, but the new dt990 is really something. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that I started on old dt990s, then came back to headphones with the dt990 pros, so I was sorta raised on them, but right now, I'm just...
