I'm a closed can type of guy so I would be mainly interested in the Proline 650 or 750 (or possible edition 9). The only problem is that I can't try before I buy so I have to be pretty certain what I'm getting before I buy. Here's the question for those of you who have heard at least two of these cans: What are the sonic differences between these cans? Which one is most likely (if any?) to be the one for me given the cans I have in my signature? |

Besides the driver diffs between the 650 / 750, both of those cans seem to differ from the 2500 only in that a very thin, flexible ring of plastic has been glued over the top of the vents on the 2500. It is so thin, it blocks very little outside sound. I'm tempted to tear it off to see if the SQ improves with the 650 becoming a fully open can. Anyone else tried this? The "closed-ness" of the 650/750 seems to be virtually useless from the standpoint of external noise reduction. |
