Ultrasone Pro 900 Impressions Thread
Just an update around a month of daily usage later... I am in love with these headphones. Is there a magical Ultrasone fairy that helps these headphones improve over time? Absolutely. For almost every headphone out there, burn in would seem to be a complete myth. These are a striking...- fx101

Ultrasone Pro 900 Impressions Thread
Yep, it will sound *terrible* right out of the box... painful highs and boomy lows. Worse than Apple earbuds. Give them a minimum of 100 hours burn in before making a decision. The sound will improve *dramatically* in that timeframe.- fx101

Ultrasone Pro 900 Impressions Thread
Well guys, I gave them a 24 hour burn in and... if there is proof that burn-in is real then this is it. These are completely different headphones. I know for a fact it's not just my ears either... the difference is night and day. There's still some sibilance but the sound is smoother and the...- fx101

Ultrasone Pro 900 Impressions Thread
Hey guys... I just received my Ultrasone Pro 900's from an Amazon marketplace seller and... I think something might be wrong with them. The highs are harsh. Like... bone-shattering harsh. For reference I own Beyerdynamic DT990's (which are known for very harsh treble) and these highs are at...- fx101

The best of the best speaker...
These are not the exact speakers. I just don't have a picture of them in the setup. Nonetheless, the room they're in is a nice dedicated room with decent accoustics but isn't heavily treated nor has reflectors of any sort. Let's just say that in his position, the sticker price is sort of...- fx101

Fondest Memories Involving Headphones (Story-Fi)
So I'm really surprised (after extensive searching) that no such thread appears to have existed. The goal of this thread is simple. Recount the fondest, darkest, happiest, or most memorable moments in your life that have involved headphones. Delve into one memory at a time and really...- fx101

Better Sound for Mac Users- Pure Music Player
For many users, players like Amarra and Pure Music WILL make a difference. It all boils down to iTune's rather iffy audio engine that doesn't always nicely handle the higher bitrate files it accepts. Basically, something like Pure Music or Amarra will natively play these files and not do some...- fx101

Any Ravers?
Although I started raving as vinyl was doing down... there was something about being part of a musical revolution that was really appealing. My first rave was at 15 (it was in the UK and my parents were abroad) and I remember that at that particular point electronic music could hardly be found...- fx101

climbing
Seeing the title of this thread made me so happy! I started climbing in high school and now I'm up to about a 5.10a, but work has not given me enough time to climb in the past year. Accordingly, I'm out of shape atm but I do hope to lead my first 5.10c by the end of next year. I'm actually...- fx101

Any Ravers?
I have noticed there are quite a few house/trance/godforbid...dubstep fans among Head-Fiers. I was wondering if any of you have been raving (i.e. in the underground scene) or at least enjoy a good massive (electric daisy carnival, electric zoo, electric forest....)? It's certainly a very...- fx101

The Trance game...
Heck, I'll throw in a wonderful progressive beat while I'm at it. Yeah yeah it's technically not trance but it made Above & Beyond's Trance Around The World last week so I'm including it: -
Suit & Tie-Fi
Quote: Bespoke is truly a wonderful experience. You really get to know the tailor and they can get the perfect cut. If you're a fan of the very elegant british hourglass cut then they can do it. If you want a more italian cut, then a good tailor should be able to pull it off too. The great...- fx101

Headphone Sightings 2
So I'm sitting in the undergraduate library collaborative study floor (read: not silent) today (not many fun phones in the business school library) and I HIT THE JACKPOT. In front of me I see Ultrasone Pros. Front right there are Beat HD's BOO :(. To my right is a guy wearing HD 650's. Directly...- fx101
