An Ultrasone Comparison

Dec 16, 2010 at 10:38 AM Post #63 of 78
anyone knows the difference between the 2400 and the 780's??
or are they the same

The 780 is closed design, with an oval earcup, & pleather pads.
The 2400 is an open design, with a round earcup, with velour pads.
 
Despite that they both use the same gold-plated 40mm driver, they will sound quite different.

You can try the Pro 900, more sound stage, and they are more comfy.

Thanks, these will definitely fit the Pro900 then?
 
It's not listed on that page, but I assume if the other headphones in the Pro range use the same locking method for pads it'll be fine.

Are there any replacement pleather pads for the Pro900?
 
I'm not really a fan of the velour/velvet material the stock pads are made from.

what i don't understand is all the people seemingly wanting a ton of bass for electronic music.  i listen to mainly trance and any bass that's there is easy to hear with non-bassy headphones.  I read here, though, that there are two types of people usually on this board... ones that are real bassheads and others who like tightly controlled bass.  I guess I'm the latter, but like I was saying with electornic music....isn't the bass already pretty easy to hear?  As I found with my comparison with beyerdynamic dt880 and dt770, the DT770 had too much bass for my liking to the point where I was wishing I could hear more clearly the mids and highs.  The DT880's on the other hand were a pure joy to listen to.  I pretty much leave the equalizer flat for trance......
 
can anyone comment on this?  Am I gonna find too much bass with ultrasones?  I don't think I'll mind the really bright highs..
 
my thread here if anyone wants to chime in :)  http://www.head-fi.org/t/595317/very-specific-headphone-tailored-to-electronic-music-ultrasone-xxx-dt880-hd650-dt990-on-a-budget
 
for now I think I may skip the $160-200 ultrasones and just get a panasonic htf600 for $30 until i can save for something like the DT880 with decent amp

Agree with you about the bass...but the Ultrasones are not only about bass, they offer much more.

Some people (like me) enjoy the visceral effect you get with bass and sub-bass in electronic music due to the air pressure - just hearing it isn't enough. This is best experienced with a subwoofer, but since that isn't always practical at home due to noise pollution I've wanted to get the closest to a well integrated sub in a headphone. Obviously due to physics headphones can never properly reproduce the effects of a sub, but for me the D7000, Pro900 and UM Merlin come close enough (until I find something better).

Yes, ultrasone (at least with my signature pro) is really good at bass guitar, guitar (both wood/electric), piano, and drum set, it performs well when listening to other instruments like cello
