So i decide i was going to buy something new today! (even though i have a go-vibe v4 on the way) ANYWAYS i decide i was going to buy something at the music store.
I'm looking at all there headphones old beyer 770's, 3 different versions of the akg 240, and then i see ultrasone proline 750 mmmm yummy and only 385 bucks (LOL hey i live in canada ok?) these must be good!
WRONG! I get home open the box and they look so amazing just sitting there... but thats where it ends. as soon as i pick them up i notice there noisy! a little squeaky when you move them around to adjust them and the plastic seems so cheap, like i feel i need to be careful with them... not good.
So i try to ignore the $20 headphone look and feel of them (except the earpads are very nice) and i put them on with some Jethro Tull "bungle in the Jungle".... sounds pretty good... although i have this feeling this will turn out bad... so i go right for the fear factory... whats going on here... no bass? maybe eq is off in foobar... nope.. so i try about 5 other songs from various genre... man i think s.logic means S*** logic.. these cans sound hollow or airy like with horrible sound isolation... My old px100's sounded way better... and for $300 less (remember... canada....)
If your like to feel the groove or hear the bass in your music.
DO NOT BUY the proline 750's..
So anyways i returned them hoping i could order some hd595's or something...
WRONG long & mcquade music doesn't carry anything above the 400 series of senn... and cant get the high end akg's,beyer's,OR ANYTHING.
So i ended up buying a new external sound card for my pc!
it works great.. makes my hd 280 pro's sound like gold.
i only had to re n' re the drivers about 10 times before they finally worked.
