Hi guys..
Since i joined Head-fi i found myself entering a world of unlimited audio knowledge.
I felt that before i was living in stone age era,missing a lot of what is out there..
So after reading many reviews and chating with quite a few people i ended up getting the Ath-M50's because at that point i thought that they were the right cans for me.
Music is my life,i listen to when going to work every day,at my place when i don't feel like going out,hell i even listen to when lying on my bed before i shut down..
I am a techno freak and mostly i listen to all genres of electronic music and i needed a pair of cans that really shine for it..
That's why i ended up bying M50's because many people find them a good all arounder and a descent one for electronic music..
Don't get me wrong here,i really love my M50's,they have great isolation,they are comfy for me and the sound out of them is quite analytical with a nice bass impact without becoming boomy.
I find that female vocals are exceptional through them and the overall sound is quite descend for a 100 buck headphone..
My problem is that they are lacking in terms of depth and soundstaging..
I have made the following mod in order to achieve better clarity and a wider soundstage
http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/551679/how-to-make-m50-s-mid-less-recessed-increase-soundstage-56k
and in a point my problem was fixed but i do think that the problem is still present...
So after some research i bumped into Ultrasones which some people claim that they are the perfect closed cans for electronic music.
They do claim that the S-logic technology is not a commercial trick and that it really expands the soundstage..
I am willing to make the step and get these but i would really need your experience and comments..
1)Do they really outperform M50's in terms of overall sound quality and soundstage?
2)Is the clamping force enough for them to stay secure on the head without sliding?(i want to wear them on the street when going to work)
3)Does it block outside noise equally well as M50's do?
3)Is the output volume loud enough without the sound become distorted?
4)Are they really so crystal crisp?
Edit:I am also considering any other pair of Ultrasones due to the fact that the DJ1 Pro's are huge for portable use....
