ULTRASONE EDITION 8 - From my belief, they were marketed as a top tier headphone for portable / DAP use.

In reading alot of the reviews from members to own them, many use the EDITION 8 with a Headphone Amplifier.

Thus...those who purchased the Edition 8, what was your main purpose / intended use (Home or Portable)

Thank you

Home use all the way. I currently use it with my HR Ultra Desktop Amp. Loving it.

I use mine as home phones with my RPX-33, and occasionally at work from the UMDAC/RSA portables... never actually as portable.

Mine has been modified by Ultrasone in Bavaria with Edition 9 cable and XLR plugs to use with my balanced amp C.E.C. HD53N. I think definition, control and three-dimensionality improved.

Wouldn't it be stupid to use such an expensive and bulky headphone outdoor or with a portable amp at home? Thus it appears that the short cable with mini plug, extension cord and 6,3" adaptor is nonsense IMO.

Use it with my SPL Phonitor previously. Though it sound good out of an iPod, it sound better and more justify with a desktop amp.

Same as iCal. Okay out of a computer or iPod but FAR SUPERIOR out of a good amp!

Run mine out of a macbook, modded musiland MD10 and phonitor. But find it a bit hot vs open hf's.

Nice first post, Welcome to Head-F1! I would say sorry about your wallet, but looks like that damage has already been done!

Exclusively for home use, recabled and terminated as balanced for use with my RudiStor RPX-100.

Phonitor @ home. Currently building a good portable headphone amp + "audiophile" portable DAC for the "road".
