You posted a lovely sentence in another thread: "Do not allow yourself to be pressured by the opinions on these forums".
Maybe you should try a little less pressuring your opinions on somebody else.
Everytime somebody posts his opinions on the 750s which contradicts with yours you say they haven't listened carefully or, that's not true; they do have x x and x you just don't know how to use your ears and I do coz I'm a pro..
You might not say it in that exact phrasing but it sure boils down to that.
Have you ever wondered why people keep attacking you the way they do? If you did, did you think it was just because you love the 750s to death..?
I mean, I surely like my 750s and talked lots of good stuff about them but I never had any of the reactions you had. Sure, mocking ones but that's fine..I do have the best 750 that's out there
I'm not saying you have to swallow your opinions but enough is enough. After one time stating it people know your point of view. One look at your signature alone is enough for that matter.
But please stop the continuous defending your point of view beyond reason. When people hear things otherwise doesn't mean you're a liar, it just means you hear things differently. Respect opinions from other people without questioning them every time and stating you're very fortunate with your ears. [/end of rant]

Contrastique,
You certainly do have a talent for exaggeration.
It has been rare that I have entered more than one comment in a thread except when I am addressed directly or if someone writes something that is in error and no one else replies to contradict that error. If it were not for replying, most of the time I would have had only one post in a thread.
Let me make it clear that I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I have never said otherwise. But, some people attempt to make their opinions sound like facts. And, yes, I will continue to contradict ideas with which I disagree (unless someone else does it first) whether anyone likes it or not.
I'm happy we are in agreement about the Pro 750 (excepting that, actually, mine are better than yours
). I am under the impression based on your last post that you must think I and my posts are more famous than others. I do not believe that is true. I think there are many people on these forums who have never heard of me, don't know my position on headphones, and who have never heard of Ultrasone. If you are aware that I have greater fame in these regards than I believe that I do, please tell me so I can imagine myself "basking in the Head-Fi spotlight" for a few seconds.
The words you've written about me should be written about others as well. It is because I do not "automatically" adhere to the Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic status quo that others have written against my point of view. Not that I think there is anything wrong with those particular brands. It's simply that anything new like Ultrasone or Dennon is often not as welcome among the ranks of some Head-Fi members. Someone told me that they think of me as a "kind of rebel" because of my opinions of the Pro 750 and the way that I do not back down. I don't know if I'm a "rebel" or not, but I sure am not going to back down because someone doesn't like me expressing my opinion. And, if you want me to stop repeatedly expressing contradictions to statements that I believe are false, than you also need to tell the other posters that they should stop repeatedly posting those false (IMO) statements. In other words, as long as they are repeating their false (IMO) statements, I will keep repeating my contradictions to those false (IMO) statements, unless someone else does it first.
Once again, if someone makes comments about headphones (regardless of the brand or model) that I know from experience are not true, I will continue to respond and contradict those comments. The Pro 750 is very good example of this: I do not believe that when someone makes a false statement about the Pro 750, that the members of this forum "automatically" think of me (if they know me at all) and know my position. You do because you read my posts. You read my posts for three reasons:
1. You and I are seemingly interested in the same Head-Fi topics so we often end up on the same threads;
2. You have excellent taste;
3. You can't resist reading what the "famous" Peter Pinna has written.
This may come as a surprise to you, Contrastique, but I actually admire you for your diligence in attempting to find out the truth about the Pro 750 vs. Proline 750 ear pads in posting the pictures of those pads and your detailed description. I then followed "in your footsteps" with a potentially valid analysis and theory about what may have actually happened concerning those pads. If it had not been for your posting of the picture of the two pads and your description, I would have not come up with the theory that I posted. Yours was step 1 and mine was step 2. We are still waiting for step 3 which is validation. My point in writing all this is to point out that you and I are very similar, actually. Specifically, concerning Head-Fi related matters, we are both interested in the same thing: the truth! The differences between our "styles of writing" might include the idea that I might "bother" a few more people than you do trying to expose false statements and ultimately reach that truth.
I wish you well.
