The bass is BOOMY man! maybe too much so for my taste.

see if someone will loan you a pair of 750s to compare to your Ed.9.

well my are going up for sale any day now. it's just not worth it my setup and seriously my wife is not crazy about me spending this kinda money....anyway back to the cans

been listening to Giant Steps and Kinda Blue and I think they are very very very revealing (more thean the GS-1000s from my impressions) even with my crappy source (again this must be taken into consideration as I was told the GS1000s need a good source to shine where as the E9s are a bit more flexible). almost to the point as I can say that Giant Steps was recorded and mixed pretty crappy where as Kinda Blue was done just right and these are major albums in the jazz world. They are very easy to drive! more than the Grados

i take my statement back about the booomy bass. the bass is superb! sorry for hijackin the thread. The E9s are growin on me and we've only known each other for not even a day.

Boomy bass of Edition 9 is a consequence of insufficient burn-in. It becomes actually of lesser volume than GS1000.

Good God man i'm listening to insane trance now! This headphone is FILTHY! in a good way!!!!!! I was thinking the same thing about the bass and like i said the GS1ks were very burned in when auditioned.

mr. nice before thinking in selling your Ed9 burn them in for 400 hours or more then listen to them. They are going to change and settle. I bet you will not sell them.

 

[mr. nice]

i know man..i'm thinking about it right now. they sound freakin awesome as is! we will see.....

 

[mr. nice]

ok i've been listening for the last 5 hours and i have to say that the Edition 9s are AMAZING! The reason the bass was soooo BOOMY was only because idiot over here was only listening with the EQ cranked up without realizing

i went thru like 10 CDs and was thinking what the hell is up with all these ****** recording engineers and i was also thinking DAM these headphones are finally revealing all the flaws in these CDs. I guess the only flaw here is you know who

U guys can't be serious it telling us that there is somethin better by the same company. I can't and won't believe it even if it's true!

We don't know if anything is better, Edition 9 is the best of Ultrasone as it stands now.

 

[mr. nice]

man they sound good. i went from selling them to now thinking about getting the RPX?

Its not just drivers what makes headphone sound great. All takes into account, dampening and case shapes, everything. To take best sound of headphone no matter what driver its using, it takes careful planning of those. Just like in loudspeaker world. Do you think that, for example, drivers of Sony R10 cost considerably more than, for example, Sony V6? The drivers isnt what judges the price of headphone, the sound and quality of craftmanship is.

Anyone who thinks that things with the same description are equal is lucky to have made it to adulthood. That's a totally silly point of view, and I assume you guys just weren't thinking when you said that.

Well vcoheda has not heard an Edition 9, so it is forgivable to have issues (everyone does until they hear one). I am personally having issues with how different these headphones are made out to be. I am slowly updating/completing this review, I have to admit some things are not as precise I would like them to be now that both headphones have fully grown on me.

 

[mr. nice]

i know companies are mostly scum!!!!!! but i don't see how ultrasone would just simply jack up the price of the 9s sooo dam high if there wasn't somthin there besides some poor sheep they killed in ethiopia (somethin sounds just NOT RIGHT about that) and BTW where the heck are the serial numbers on my ED9? i see that some cans have them burnt into the sides and others don't. How can i find mine? sorry for hijacking this one for a second......
