    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    Just a few thoughts after no more than 8 hrs listening. I'm not hearing what I'd call an overly dark headphone,warm to me,I found 650's a little darker,but given a few days and praps I'll change my mind?dark headphones for me were my old 80's 600ohm beyerdynamic 990's,dark as in sonically being...

    Apple IEM - most underrated IEMs on the market

    Thanks for the info in this thread,very interesting! i had some of these in hand today but i suspect like many others put them back on the shop shelf thinking for this price they can't really be very good? I need to sort something out this week as my Xin portable amp got damaged beyond sensible...

    There's Something About Ultrasone…

    Nice to see this thread still rolling along,i'm still loving my 2500's more by the day and after a few weeks use would now class them as the most enjoyable headphone's i've owned. Any half decent recording just sounds right to my ears, plenty of attack and bite when needed but still remaining...

    There's Something About Ultrasone…

    For someone who has had mixed results from burn in with past can's,these Prolines are going a long way to convincing me of its merits. The bass seemed to get pretty dominant after minimal hours before easing back a little to weighty,defined with very nice extension,ideal for me The mids and...

    There's Something About Ultrasone…

    Well my 2500's turned up almost before i had my eye's open today,and i found myself listening for five hours straight.I only intended to have a quick listen to make sure everything was OK before sticking them on my spare dvd drive to cook for a while,but i enjoyed what i was hearing so stuck...

    ULTRASONE Proline 750 review and pictures

    Thanks for the welcome! Nice review captian,i must say that choosing the 750 or 2500 was a bit of a toss up for me,in the end i chose the 2500 as isolation is not really going to be an issue,i can make much more noise with my guitars than will be heard from the Ultrasones! I'll be using these...
