Well it turns out I don't need the extension now. I ordered a pair of the Ultrasone 780s to compare with the 750s. I have to say that I prefer the bass that comes with the 780s and to be honest I didn't notice any surround effect with either set connected to my AVR. I do like the carrying case...

I got my 750s last night! I need to further extend the cord to my AVR, can anyone recommend a good extension cable that won't impact quality or will any 1/4" do?

I think I'm going with the Ultrasone 750 Pros.

OK I think I'm going to go with the Ultrasone 750 Pros.

About to make my first Ultrasone purchase. I'm not sure between the 550, 750 or 780s for movies/gaming. Can anyone recommend a pair?  

The D2000s are nice but out of my price range. I'd like to keep it sub $200.

Anyone?

Hey all real quick question. I think I'm about to buy my first set of Ultrasones for gaming/movies. What is the difference between the 550, 750, and 780s?   Also for those that may game with these, how is the surround?

According to my receiver's manual it basically says as soon as you plug in headphones it'll switch to either stereo, mono, or direct (which is still stereo).   I will most likely be doing more movies/TV but for gaming it's almost exclusively single player (so nothing competitive).

Ok it looks as though my AVR does not support any sort of surround processing while headphones are connected. :(
