Recently bought the Grado SR225e and I love them!! I have owned many higher end Grado/Alessandro models before and the SR225e stack up really nicely. Replacing the stock pads with the old Senn HD414 yellows (with cut outs) make them much more comfy and they still sound great. Gotta love how...

Picked up my new Fostex TH900 MKII over the weekend after much research. Couldn't be happier:darthsmile:, exactly what I expecting and more. Mainly used for deep/tech/chill house, drum and bass, psy trance. Bass is incredible, very fun and extremely comfortable, haven't yet had any major issues...

I currently have the same connection issue with my Edition 8 Romeo :(   Sound drops out and in if moved. I'm delaying sending them back to Ultrasone, don't want to be without them :P

Received my Edition 8 Romeo's 3 days ago. After 40+ hours burn in they have really opened up nicely already.   Very happy with them so far, only gripe is the fit on my small head therefore its hard to get that sweet spot. I have to tilt the headband to the back of my head to get a nice tight...

Just added an E17 to my collection, great little device - very happy with it. Sounds great with my HE-400's, just wondering what settings people recommend on the E17.   I have had a look at older posts but can't seem to find a post I once read about gain/bass settings.

Quote: Please read, OP said heavy bass.   My vote is for the HE-400, best all rounder with amazing bass at that price.

From my experience, the Ultrasone Pro 750's need a very long time to burn in (like 200 hours), they open up after a good while.   I have read that this is because of the use of titanium drivers the Ultrasone range utilise. Also they definently sound different when they move around on your...

Quote: Had a similar experience when I bought my HE-400's. Sold my HD650's after a week of having the HE-400's. Just love the lively, well separated sound!

Quote:   mmmm indeed epic, sounds insane.   Bass is nice and tight!!! 

HE-400 any day of the week. Quality headphones.

Received my HE-400's with velours, wow the separation is stunning - excelling my HD650's in most areas. AMAZING for trance.

Have both RS2i and HE-400 - RS2i are magic for old school, guitar/rock type music (amazing mids). HE-400 are a better over all headphone - suit nearly every genre. Would probably go with HE-400 w/ velours. 

+1 for Grado, great headphones for rock.

Blown away with the performance of the Asgard with my Grado RS2i's, everything sounds very clear and musical. 

Got my Grado RS2i's last week, burning in at around ~100hours. Sounding great so far (through Corda Cantate 2), ordered a Schiit Asgard on Friday. Cant wait!!! :)

+1 for the Alessandro MS-1i's - very musical.

Check out the Ultrasone HFI 680's, GREAT cans for electronica. Loved mine to bits.

I absolutely adored my HFI-680's, great headphone with an upfront/bassy sound. Great for electro/rock!

Ultrasone for sure and certain, nothing ive used comes close. I'd recommend Proline 750's, you can get them on Ebay Australia for about $400.

+1 for Ultrasone. If your looking for more balanced sound go for the PRO750's. If your looking for more bass go the HFI series.

MS1's sound fantastic without an amp! In my experience amping them gets rid of the 'fun' element of the cans. Dont worry about the mixed reviews, there are ALOT more pleased than disappointed. The price to performace ratio is exceptional.

lol @ people posting there own gear as the best budget system, dam fanboyism

how these two Cans compare???? Id go for the PRO 750. which is more comfortible??? PRO 750 hands down. better bass??? HFI-780 is boomier and louder, PRO 750 is more controlled and perhaps deeper. better sound quality? PRO 750 in my opinion.
