Hi
Just bought an Ultrasone Pro 900 I am starting to believe there is something not quite right.
Initially I though it was the 6.5 to 3.5 adapter. Basically when I plug the adapter fully into the mp3 player, the headphone sounds very distorted and far away, and the mids and highs are completely gone. Pulling it out a bit it improves the audio, making the bass quite nice, and bringing back the mids and highs, but still, I am not convinced this is how they should really sound. It is quite hard to find the right depth when plugging in the adapter, as moving it a little bit down or up it either makes the audio completely silent or back to the distortion I mentioned above.
I have tried in my mp3 player (Sony NWZ-A829), in a friend's iPod, in my computer audio output and in a semi-hifi Onkyo, all using the Fiio E5 amp, and it them all having same issues.
I have tried with both cables provided with the Pro 900, and same issue. This is why I initially though it might have been the 6.5 to 3.5 adapter. I however received a new adapter from the seller today, and exactly the same issue. So the only explation is something wrong with the headphones.
Has anybody experienced similar issues? (I take not...)
How do Pro 900 sound with an iPod? I am wondering if this is something to do with impedance, but can't hardly believe, since they are 40 ohms.
Any help or suggestions most welcomed.
