    My Ultrasone Proline 750s

    After waiting 5 weeks for my 750s (vendor was waiting for a shipment from Ultrasone USA, who was out of stock), I finally got mine(sigh...). I had spent about an hour listening through a pair at a friend's and really liked them; didn't really pay that much attention to them visually. On...

    Any word on the 2500 shipment?

    Just got an email from NS&L saying my Proline 750s were shipped out to me. Nearly came in my pants when I read that! Let's see.......that's not quite 4 weeks since I placed my order!!!

    Any word on the 2500 shipment?

    B&H is selling Proline 750s for $330 and 2500s for $340....just checked. My guess is that NS&L, which is likely a small vendor, doesn't keep a good supply of most things in stock(too costly). They charge customers' credit cards immediately for orders, even if they're out of stock. There was, no...

    Any word on the 2500 shipment?

    I ordered a pair of Proline 750s from NS&L on February 1st, and I'm still waiting for them to shipped. I called Ultrasone USA last Thursday and the dude, there, said he expected the shipment from Europe to arrive that day or the next. If they did arrive, then vendors will receive their orders...

    Xenos X1HA-EPC: Review

    I've been using my 1XHA quite a bit since I got it several weeks ago......it fits my needs and sensibilities beautifully. While it might be a tad large/heavy for some regarding extreme portability, it's not an issue with me; I mostly use it at home, moving it from room to room along with my...

    Did I fall for the hype?

    Did I fall for the hype?

    There really aren't any "bad" 'phones out there in the price range that Ultrasone resides in, just 'phones with different sound personalities. I ordered a pair of Proline 750s after spending some time with them at a friend's, the current hype, here, notwithstanding. But no one 'phone is "right"...

    An Ultimatum to Ultrasone

    Northern's price for Proline 750s is about $130 less than other vendors are charging. And yeah, they require payment when ordering, even if the item is on backorder. I wonder why all other vendors are selling the 750s (and 2500s) at or near list price? Ultrasones are not price fixed.....not...

    An Ultimatum to Ultrasone

    I ordered a pair of Proline 750s from NS&L(the only vendor around, that I could find, that sells them for a really good price) on February 1st. I'm still waiting for them to be shipped to me. They're on back order, and have been for the past 3 or more weeks, because Ultrasone USA ran out and...

    K701 register ?

    Your invoice(bill of sale) is all you need. If you need warranty work, you just send AKG a copy of it along with your K701s. It's not necessary to register with AKG to cover your 701s. (This is true for the States. Might be different elsewhere)

    Is Northern Sound and Lights good place to buy AKG K701?

    I purchased a pair of K 701s from them in December, and had no problems, whatsoever. The 'phones were shipped out within a couple of days. I ordered a pair of Ultrasone Proline 750s from them on February 1st and am still waiting for them to be sent out, however; it seems that Ultrasone USA ran...

    I'm so confused!

    I'd say, the ONLY one who can determine what's best for you is you yourself and no one else. All suggestions, recommendations and opinions in this forum are totally subjective, reflecting only the sensibilities and tastes of the person who writes them. Everyone's perceptions/sensiblities are...
