After waiting 5 weeks for my 750s (vendor was waiting for a shipment from Ultrasone USA, who was out of stock), I finally got mine(sigh...). I had spent about an hour listening through a pair at a friend's and really liked them; didn't really pay that much attention to them visually. On...

Just got an email from NS&L saying my Proline 750s were shipped out to me. Nearly came in my pants when I read that! Let's see.......that's not quite 4 weeks since I placed my order!!!

B&H is selling Proline 750s for $330 and 2500s for $340....just checked. My guess is that NS&L, which is likely a small vendor, doesn't keep a good supply of most things in stock(too costly). They charge customers' credit cards immediately for orders, even if they're out of stock. There was, no...

I ordered a pair of Proline 750s from NS&L on February 1st, and I'm still waiting for them to shipped. I called Ultrasone USA last Thursday and the dude, there, said he expected the shipment from Europe to arrive that day or the next. If they did arrive, then vendors will receive their orders...

I've been using my 1XHA quite a bit since I got it several weeks ago......it fits my needs and sensibilities beautifully. While it might be a tad large/heavy for some regarding extreme portability, it's not an issue with me; I mostly use it at home, moving it from room to room along with my...

There really aren't any "bad" 'phones out there in the price range that Ultrasone resides in, just 'phones with different sound personalities. I ordered a pair of Proline 750s after spending some time with them at a friend's, the current hype, here, notwithstanding. But no one 'phone is "right"...

Northern's price for Proline 750s is about $130 less than other vendors are charging. And yeah, they require payment when ordering, even if the item is on backorder. I wonder why all other vendors are selling the 750s (and 2500s) at or near list price? Ultrasones are not price fixed.....not...

I ordered a pair of Proline 750s from NS&L(the only vendor around, that I could find, that sells them for a really good price) on February 1st. I'm still waiting for them to be shipped to me. They're on back order, and have been for the past 3 or more weeks, because Ultrasone USA ran out and...

Your invoice(bill of sale) is all you need. If you need warranty work, you just send AKG a copy of it along with your K701s. It's not necessary to register with AKG to cover your 701s. (This is true for the States. Might be different elsewhere)

I purchased a pair of K 701s from them in December, and had no problems, whatsoever. The 'phones were shipped out within a couple of days. I ordered a pair of Ultrasone Proline 750s from them on February 1st and am still waiting for them to be sent out, however; it seems that Ultrasone USA ran...

Quote: I store mine by wrapping the cable around three fingers and putting everything in a small round plastic container (one of my wife's Stampin' Up things ). You could just as easily put it in the storage pouch. Sounds reasonable, but I'd be a bit concerned about storing the cables...

I'm always mindful of carefully winding the Vibe's cables back around its rubber(?) / silicone(?) storage "thingy"... not too tightly, mind you, but I've often thought that the cables are wound at quite an acute bend which, after winding/unwinding again and again would stress the cables enough...

One issue with Grado that irks me is that Grado cans are price fixed; Grado demands that his products cannot be sold for less than his list price. Price fixing was once illegal here in the States......but no longer. So much for free market capitalism. So, Grado products are actually LOTS more...

Well, for my listening sensibilities, I just don't find any value in the SFS.....and I'd wager that most X1HA owners feel the same about it. Listening with SFS switch on is, ostensibly, supposed to reduce fatigue when listening for extended periods, but I've experienced no fatigue at all...

In your ear canal, huh?.......that's nothing; I once lost an entire pair of E4Cs up my ......er, never mind.

As Dex is aware from another thread, I ordered a pair of Proline 750s after spending some time with them at a friend's, with my new Xenos X1HA-EPC(a really fine little amp) and friend's GV5(a superb value in a really sweet performer). Both of us suitably and delightfully enhanced.......think a...
