    Ultrasone Pro 900 drop in price. Worth it now?

    So the Ultrasone Pro 900 has dropped in price to $260 on Amazon now and I'm wondering if I should get them.   I would use them to listen to EDM music (which I listen to a lot).    My current main set up is:   - Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro (also have Sennheiser HD 598) - Fiio E7 DAC - Schiit...

    Are the Ultrasone Pro 900's worth the $?

    Do you know how the bass on the Fidelio X1's compare to the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro's bass? The reason I'm asking is because as I said I'm looking for something more bassy than my Beyerdynamic pair (but at the same time also has good sound quality, decent soundstage, good sound detail, etc...

    Are the Ultrasone Pro 900's worth the $?

          Perhaps you guys can't help with this next question, but as I think I mentioned in my original post (don't remember though) I already own the DT 990 Pro's and I've heard a lot of people complain about the DT 990 Pro's emphasizing high's too much.   I don't agree with that though at...

    looking for headphones

    Well I don't know about the 770's, but for 990's there's different models with differing ohm's (impedance). In a nutshell the higher the impedance (measured in ohm) the more power is needed to drive the headphones, meaning you'll need an amplifier to bring out the best sound quality in the...

    Sennheiser HD 598 Impressions Thread

    Yeah it was, sorry for the mistake. I think I corrected it though. You must have saw the mistake before I corrected it.

    Sennheiser HD 598 Impressions Thread

    I own both the HD 598's and the DT 990's (specifically the Pro 250 ohm version) and if you like bass I'd recommend the DT 990's over the 598's.   Just my personal taste, I like my 990's more than my 598's. Both have good soundstage, but I would agree that the 598's soundstage is better, that's...

    Are the Ultrasone Pro 900's worth the $?

    I tried asking a similar question in the help forum and I only got 1 person to actually post in it in the past 2/3 days, so I'm posting in here.   Here's a TLDR: I listen to electronic dance music like progressive house, etc, etc. I already have an amp + DAC and I have the DT 990 Pro's (also...

    looking for headphones

    I have the Sennheiser HD 598's and as another user already pointed out the HD 598's would probably not be a satisfactory headphone for the kind of music you listen too. The HD 598's lack the bass that make those genres of music great.   In fact I actually bought another pare of headphones...

    Looking for good bass headphones that at most are around $200

    I apologize because I'm sure this question has been asked a million times on here already, but I am looking for good bass headphones. I'm a bit vague myself on what exactly I mean by "good" but what I think I mean is that I don't want headphones that have a very muddy bass and crap mid/highs...

    Where to get high quality music?

    I also found a place called MOG. How do they compare with Spotify? The prices seem to be exactly the same.

    Where to get high quality music?

    Quote: Spotify looks like something I'm looking for.   So Spotify Premium allows you to listen to music at 320kbps as opposed to YouTube which is only 128kbps? Is the sound quality difference really that much better? Also what's the difference between Unlimited and Premium?

    Where to get high quality music?

    Quote: I remember a long time ago (probably 5+ years ago) one of my friend's told me that Microsoft had some music thing for Zune where you would pay a monthly subscription and it allowed you to listen to (or DL I forgot) unlimited amounts of music.   What about something like that?

    Where to get high quality music?

    I don't know where to post a thread about this, but I thought that this forum may be the most appropriate.   I now have an amp and two good headphones and they sound great, but the problem is most of the music I listen to is done through YouTube. And as I'm sure you're all aware, the sound...

    The search is over! DT 990 pro 250ohms are my end all headphone

    I'd have to agree with you OP.   I coincidentally also just got my DT 990 Pro's (250 OHM) today and I think they're absolutely incredible. I also have a new amp (Schiit Magni) to go along with them and they sound absolutely incredible.   I already have a pair of HD 598's but I think...
