Well after trading mine away, it's looking more and more like I'm going to return to the Ultrasone camp at some point. Just a matter of time...

Does the Pro 750 rest on the airs or cover the ears?

PL750 is circumaural which covers the ears.

Thx,I just wanted to make sure because I was worried when I get them. Because of there shape, I thought it might rest on the ear.

My understanding is that in the U.S.A., Ultrasone is operating in California. I recently wrote to Ultrasone and received a reply, which judging from the way it was written, probably came from Germany.

I know I have emailed Germany in the past (several times) and no response was forthcoming. I was glad that Ultrasone US existed but now they don't. I have a blem on my new Ultrasone Ed. 9's and the seller contacted Germany about this. No response. |

Peter pinna have you played any pc games with the pro 750, if have. how well they work in those games?

Yes they are now as Ultrasone has bypassed the distributor after they got things rolling. I hope Ultrasone in California will keep up the good customer service of the distributor and will not be like Ultrasone Germany, which has a poor record of customer service, at least from my experience and anyone else I have emailed with here in the US.

I wish I could answer your question from first hand experience but I'm not a gamer. I have listened to a lot of music using the Proline 750's and I have watched some movies (DVD's). I have also used them for recording. They have been excellent for all of these purposes.
I have found that when I watch movies with them, I don't use the Dolby Headphone option because I prefer the sound stage of the Proline 750's on their own. It sounds more realistic to me. The dimensions are still there (like surround sound) like they would be with the Dolby Headphone setting activated but somehow it just sounds more natural and real to me.
The other night I was watching this movie called "The Polar Express" which is an animated (a different type of animation) film starring Tom Hanks. Late in the picture, there is a scene where Santa Claus makes a grand entrance. While the Proline 750's excelled throughout, it was here, because of what was going on in the audio, that they were given a chance to really super-shine!
Back to your question about gaming and how the Pro 750's would "react" to gaming. As, I said, I'm not a gamer myself but one of the things I know about gamers is some of them tend to like a lot of bass. The Pro 750's are not what I would call a "bassy" headphone. The bass from them is very realistic and "tight" (right on cue, right "in the pocket") sounding bass. If the audio actually has a "bassy" sounding bass, then that's what the Pro's will enable you to hear. They are accurate headphones, IMO.
If you don't like exaggerated bass, if you like the bass (and every other frequency) to sound like the recording engineer intended it to sound, then the Pro 750's are the ones for you.
And, only as a point of reference, to let you know a comparison, IMO, the AKG headphones I've heard are not "bassy" enough.
I hope this helps.

the proline 750s are great gaming headphones, but that really goes for just about any high end circumaural you can buy these days.
