For me, if they had any more bass I'd be saying they were bass-heavy / un-neutral and would probably give me a headache. What kind of Amp are you using yours with?

you're welcome to fly over to Aussie and try mine :p

Hey, Very late reply here, I have since moved from New Zealand to Australia! They are very well broken in now, as someone who constantly changes / upgrades / purchases new gear - I'm not even considering changing from the Sig Pro's. I'm really enjoying them, we had a audiophile night a few...

I would consider returning your Sig Pro's or at least comparing them with a pair from another batch, it sounds like there may be something wrong with your pair?

I'm just going to stop here and say... after having my Ultrason Signature Pro's for a few months now... I'm LOVING them, I think they far outperform the Grado GS-1000's I had prior, I still can't believe I'm getting quality like this from closed cans! :)

If you buy them in NZ they're NZ$1450 which is £735 or $1,180 USD

Classic! That's professional as!

Sounds like you might be quite happy with the SigPro's then, I haven't tried the ED9 myself (I've never even seen them in New Zealand!) but from the reading I did before purchasing the SP plus my own take on the signature of these cans I would say they are the best sounding closed headphones...

So?... The HD 25-1 II's aren't $1000 worse than the SigPro's? The pure purchase price doesn't simply depict how good a piece of hardware is... That's like saying 'Oh you shouldn't compare this schiit amp with this Objective2 amp because the Objective2 is only $150 pre-made but the schiit is...

It's actually really easy, best thing to do would to grab a cheap picture frame with the glass pre-cut, if it's not thick enough go visit a local glass dealer and ask for an offcut, they'll probably even size it for you!

OoO that's sexy! just need a little glass shelf to sit the dac / ipod on...

DAY 3 UPDATE: I now have approx 15 hours on them and they are loosening up nicely! I cannot get over how unfatiguing these cans are, I can listen for quite some time, very loudly with no headache or pressure buildup at all! :) The bass now seems slightly less overwhelming, it could be the start...

Anyone else?

Mini-update: I've never heard Lateralus sound so good...

I'm loving having closed headphones at home, and the SigPros are very nice indeed. At first I found them a bit bass heavy however, today is a new day and I'm not noticing it as much as yesterday, This could be me getting used to them (Highly probable) but it could be them breaking in and...

Just got some new Signature Pros today, 3-4 hours of burn in so far, very different from my GS-1000's and HD 25-1's, I'll report back in a few weeks... :)

Thanks, yeah that's what I was going for. I also have a pair of GS-1000's and I spend a lot of time on my HD 25-1 II's, these Ultrasones are very different from these, they have a lot more bass, It'll be interesting to see how they fare after I've put a hundred hours or so on them, up to 3 hours...

HRT MS-II Objective2 Amplifier (JDS Labs build)

Just saw the Ultrasone Signature Pro, they might be what I go with!

I am looking to buy some high-end closed back headphones so that I don't annoy my partner when listening to music in the same room as her. I currently have Grado GS-1000's, and like their sound, is there anything closed that can rival or even better these? At work / traveling around I use Sen...

I've just built some custom Grado's, SR225i drivers, 99.99% pure SCC calbling, dyed red Sen 414 pads. Picked up some damaged SR60's and went to work... Todo over the next week: Fit more comfy, leather headband from GS-1000. Tidy up the outter cups - any advice here? Maybe space out the...
