Headphoneus Supremus
First off, yes I am starting this thread to help bring Ultrasone into the spotlight here. Their different, yet very special headphones deserve some attention! No I don't work for or have any ties to Ultrasone.
I took delivery on a pair of PROline 750s from Headroom a little over a week ago, and they are quickly becoming my main headphone. First impressions compared to the HD-650 (with stock cable) & RS-1 were pretty bad. The midrange of the 750s just sounded too recessed and treble too bright. The more I listened though, I learned that these have a definate speaker-like presentation and need to be listened to at a lower volume than that of both the 650 & RS-1 for best soundstage & sound quality. Oh, and about the soundstage... second best I've ever heard in a headphone next to the K1000. What Sovkiller once said in an Ultrasone vs K701 thread:

is very true! I still feel that they are a little treble heavy, but it really brings out the details. It's still too early for me to truely compare them to the other cans in my inventory, but I can honstly say that these are on the same level as the HD-650.
Oh, and if you missed it, here is a great review of the PROline 750 by benjamind! http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showt...ight=ultrasone
