Does the master get spare pads when you buy them?

 

[Dramlin]

ok, how the X midbass compares to other headphones you have tired, it has the best slam you ever heard?

I'll have to re-compare and let you know. The X has more bass than just about any other headphone I've tried, but not sure about midbass and slam. Slam/Midbass is often emphasized by having a more lean overall sound which gives the impression that the bass is hitting harder and stronger when it kicks in. With how thick/warm the X is that feeling may be diminished even if there's technically more bass than any other headphone, if that makes sense. I'll give them another listen and reply back.

Yes, they come with leather pads installed and some spare vegan pads. The vegan pads are similar to those found on the Natural, Pulse, X, DXP, etc...

Thats great. and those pads would fit the signature DJ also? im thinking of ordering the master. But from what I hear there is a new B revision coming this quarter with a better headband. Might be better to wait for that.

I don't understand what you say about if the sound is leaning to more low than highs, and the headphones are warm, then the feeling of a punch is diminished.
i thick the punch or slam is a characteristic of the headphones, and it has nothing to do with the overal curve shape, or the way people EQ it. the only way to know is to ask someone who have tried many types. I'm not sure if the X is the most punchy among all, that's why i had to ask to get exactly what im looking for.

Ive got the Signature Master today. But the spare earpads are different then the original ones? they look way thinner... so i guess less superiour in comfort and or sound?

Congrats! Yes, the earpads on the Masters are leather, and the spare pads are vegan. The vegan pads are firmer and a little deeper. Whether or not they will sound better will come down to your preference. Most here prefer the leathers on the Master's. The vegan pads do offer a different sound signature, and I've heard that they go well on the DJ's although I haven't tried that myself. Also, before Ultrasone took down their Accessory shop the leather pads were listed as being a direct replacement for the Masters, DJ, and Pro's. So you could try the leather pads on the DJ's to see if the stock sound comes back.

Thanks very informative. I put the vegan pads on the DJ. have yet to listen. I might order the original DJ pads twice over since they are out of production just to be sure. eventhough that will cost me an arm...
You mean I can take the Master pads and try them on the DJ? (and then the vegan ones on the master for example.)

 

[Dramlin]

Yes, the Master leather pads will fit on the DJ. The Master pads are just like the DJ's in that they come in two pices. There's the foam & leather outer ear pad portion, as well as an inner ring with fabric attached. That inner plastic ring is easy to break on the plastic parts , so be gentle pad swapping. If the inner ring does break you can still use it, and it won't impact the sound at all. It just becomes tougher to install the ear pads without wrinkles on the inner fabric.

 

[TWerk]

Haha that little inner plastic rounded ring is indeed made to break. Mine broke like day one hahaha.

Yeah, I have the "vegan leather" pads on my Signature DJs. They seem to take down the bass by a little tiny bit, more in the midbass, but I think they still sound FANTASTIC.

And yes, the two piece ear pad design is maddening. I broke one on my Sig DJs and the bass would definitely rattled them. It was infuriating, lol.

midbass punchy as the pulse? or the dj hits harder?

I think the DJ has more sub bass and the Pulse has more midbass.

what about the x? have you tried it?

I didn't like the build quality, they squeak too much for me so I returned them quickly. I don't remember the sound quality, sorry.
