Hello Fellow Head-Fiers,
I have come to realize HEAD-FI is one of the best places (if not the best place) to go to to find information on high-end headphones. During my search for the perfect headphone, I decided on the Ultrasone PRO 750. Of course being a savvy shopper I looked everywhere and came to find the best deal on the most legitimate pair of Ultrasone PRO 750s was from eBay.
There were two sellers at the time that offered similar pricing, both with very good reviews. The seller in my experience was Wild-2010. He still has a 100% feedback score, and may deserve it - however please take note my experience.
I received a pair Ultrasone PRO 750s from this seller. The box, box print, headphone build, headphone itself, cables, everything seemed very, very legit. And it may still be the case. However, the sound was not to my expectations. The sound was not exceptional. The sound was good, but it kept me wanting more, wishing I spent my money another way. It sounded good enough that if you didn't know better you may assume it is the way they should sound. I even listed it for sale as I thought it was simply disappointing sound and Ultrasone was over-hyped.
I actually tried a second pair from eBay... the sound again was lacking to my ears. I work in production and have exposure to great sound. The headphones sounded good, but not quite worth the +/- $300 retail they sell for.
So I took this one step further and received another pair of the same model directly from ULTRASONE themselves. Here are my findings:
- The box, box print, headphone build, headphone itself, cables, everything seemed exactly the same BUT - the sound was MUCH better!!! I am very pleased with these headphones I have received directly from ULTRASONE.
At first I thought Ultrasone was all hype due to my eBay experience, however - I TRULY LOVE THE WAY THEY SOUND NOW. I AM VERY HAPPY!
No disrespect to the seller. I didn't want to leave negative feedback to him because they may be legitimate sellers (with a bad batch) but the difference in sound from the ones I got from ULTRASONE directly were such a huge difference in my opinion that I wanted to share it with this community. I can truly say I love my Ultrasones now.
Good luck to you and safe shopping. Enjoy your upcoming Holidays!!!
