Hey Head-fi’ers, Well it’s been a week since I got my Ultrasone PRO 550 headphones and unfortunately I am regretting this purchase till now. These headphones are evidently not designed for home / PC / home stereo use but more geared towards professionals with high end equipment. When I got...

Not sure if these qualify as cliches but here goes; I find it totally absurd when people say “X brand of headphones is the best in the world.” Or “Model X is the best headphones ever.” Those individuals need to realize that statistical data is needed to prove such a statement. Just because...

Hey to all Head-fiers; I have to say joining this forum has encouraged me to spend an amount of money on headphones that I previously would never have done. Before I thought spending more than $20US on a pair of headphones was ridiculous but then I joined Head-fi and I realized great sound...

Hey to all Head fi'ers, I am in need of some recommendations for a good quality headphones DAC/AMP for $100US or less to be used with a desktop PC running Windows XP and an Ultrasone PRO-550 headphones. Please note my desktop PC was custom built so I am under the assumption that I have a...

Good day to all Head fi’ers, I would really love to get some feedback on the Ultrasone PRO 550. After exploring many Ultrasone related threads on Head-fi I have realized (by the few threads I have read of course) that many ppl possess the models AFTER the PRO 550. Is there anyone on Head fi...

Can anyone recommend a good cheap amplifier to be used with an Ultrasone Pro 550 headphones? I am thinking about hooking up one to my PC. I will be using it purely for entertainment purposes as I am not into the professional aspect of music. Any and all recommendations will be highly...
