So what ones you liking best? I have the Ultrasound PRO900 on the way
The E11 is a portable amplifier. You use the 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male plugs with your iPod or mp3 player. One end on the iPod out, the other in the E11 in. The USB cable is for charging. They should both be included in the packaging.
Stretch out the Ultrasones by placing something slightly larger than head-sized in between.
Remember to burn in the ones your not using...it doe have a BIG effect on the sound...burn em over night too!
BTW you cant use the Fiio E11 while its charging...if you keep the Beyers do the blue tak mod!
Boewi and Danny have correctly identified the problem I was having with the amp. I was charging it at the time. Good call on the ultrasone stretching also. I think I'll do that.
Thank you for the amp tip. Also, what is this blue tac mod. I with that the velour pads on the beyers could go on the ultrasones without sacrificing sound insulation or sound quality, but that's what I keep hearing.

These are good headphones aswell
I have always heard good things about AKG, but they were not brought up very much when discussing trance and dubstep. Thoughts? Also, I really wish there was a music store in my town that had a really good selection of headphones to try out. Maybe there is, and I just dont know it. What kind of places do I go to to try out headphones. I already tried musicians friend, guitar center, and best buy.
I live in england and we just go to the local richer sounds and try the headphones in the shop, but if i wanted to try the best headphones they would order them in for me and if i didn't like them they would send them back with no questions asked..But i agree there are not many places that you can try headphones on and if they do it's only beats or bose! http://www.richersounds.com/
Well thats some service
Dangit. I thought I posted again. I guess my computer did freeze up. So, here's what I think so far.
Everything is pretty much as expected.
The ultrasones have more punch, but less clear bass. They have more sub bass than I think people said they would. The highs are pretty clear and have a "feel" to them. For me, the highs arent just sounds, but they actually seem to have an emotion and make me feel a little ecstatic. I like it. There are some high notes, although not often, that hurt my ears just a bit. The ultrasones also produce more volume than the beyers, out of any music player I've out them in so far (computer, phone, ipod). Honestly, I could use a little more shaking bass than either the sones or the beyers had, even after using the kick ass fiioE11 amp. It's pretty sweet. I wish it wasn't $60, but that;s the way it is. The sones are lacking in comfort, but not unbearable by any means. They hug your head a bit hard, so much so that moving around might make the top move around, but not the earpads. I heard that you can stretch them though.
The beyers- Hella comfy. Actually, its like there's nothing there. Someone said "its like pillows on your ear" but it's more like nothing is there at all. I WANTED PILLOWS! lol. They seem to produce all around better sounds than the ulrtasones, but they dont have as much character to them. I can't tell if they have more "rumble" to them than the sones, or just if the "rumble" ( I think its the sub bass) is more clear. But boy are the beyers clear. They also are sturdier than the sones, as they are built with some metal in them, and the behind the outside part of the ear pads is made of some really hard plastic. If there's any other questions people want answered, please let me know. Sorry for posting late, I thought I had already posted. I will post again after the 100 hr burn in time. PEACE!
Yes I'm going to sell one. Right now, my friend is burning in the sones. I'm burning in the beyers. We're going to check back in at the end of the month and see what each other wants. If we both want the same one, maybe I'll get send back one, and get another.
Good idea Have you been using bass boost option on E11?
