Hey Head-fi’ers, Well it’s been a week since I got my Ultrasone PRO 550 headphones and unfortunately I am regretting this purchase till now. These headphones are evidently not designed for home / PC / home stereo use but more geared towards professionals with high end equipment. When I got...

Not sure if these qualify as cliches but here goes; I find it totally absurd when people say “X brand of headphones is the best in the world.” Or “Model X is the best headphones ever.” Those individuals need to realize that statistical data is needed to prove such a statement. Just because...

Hey to all Head-fiers; I have to say joining this forum has encouraged me to spend an amount of money on headphones that I previously would never have done. Before I thought spending more than $20US on a pair of headphones was ridiculous but then I joined Head-fi and I realized great sound...

Hey to all Head fi'ers, I have decided to spend a little more behind a good DAC/AMP as I realized my budget was too low for what I wanted. Below is a recap of what I want it for ; I am in need of some recommendations for a good quality portable headphones DAC/AMP for $170US or less to be used...

Hey to all Head fi'ers, I am in need of some recommendations for a good quality headphones DAC/AMP for $100US or less to be used with a desktop PC running Windows XP and an Ultrasone PRO-550 headphones. Please note my desktop PC was custom built so I am under the assumption that I have a...

Good day to all Head fi’ers, I would really love to get some feedback on the Ultrasone PRO 550. After exploring many Ultrasone related threads on Head-fi I have realized (by the few threads I have read of course) that many ppl possess the models AFTER the PRO 550. Is there anyone on Head fi...

Can anyone recommend a good cheap amplifier to be used with an Ultrasone Pro 550 headphones? I am thinking about hooking up one to my PC. I will be using it purely for entertainment purposes as I am not into the professional aspect of music. Any and all recommendations will be highly...

Sweet. Unfortunately the cost of the PRO-550 is $235.00US which is a little < $1500.00 in my country's currency is as much as I can spend. I wish my budget could have facilitated a more expensive one but it cannot. But I must say for the features and accessories of the PRO line, the price...

Thank you so much for all this feedback guys. Means a lot. One thing though... Has anyone ever tried the PRO-550? Any feedback on this model would be appreciated a lot.

Thanks a lot for the feedback guys. @ Kernmac I am a bass lover that I must admit but I am not a "bass-head". I like the bass to work with the music not completely overpower it after all you need good levels of both bass and treble for a song to sound good rite.... @Krackatus I am...

Hi again; I am going to invest in a pair of Ultrasone PRO-550 Headphones but before I do I would love to know what you guys who have tried Ultrasone have to say about ULTRASONE. Looking forward to getting many responses. Wanna get as much feedback as possible before I make my purchase...

What kinda genre do you listen to? If you are into World Music give Loreena McKennitt a try. Her voice has captivated my heart and inspired my soul from the first time I heard her.

Hi all; After reading all the comments in this thread I see many ppl like the Ultrasone HFI-780. I am thinking about purchasing the Ultrasone PRO-550 (as I love the detachable cable feature as well as the PRO Box inclusion) and I was wondering if the sound quality described by you guys for the...

Hi all, I have recently joined this forum in the hopes of getting some feed back on the Ultrasone PRO 550 Headphones. I really just want to know 2 things; 1.Can a simple Logitech computer speaker set be used with them without an amp and would the S-Logic feature be present on them? 2.I know...
