  anyone around here compared edition 8 to edition 5 unlimited? i wanted to buy either edition 8 edition 5 unlimited, or signature dj. what would be the best out of the bunch? also, i wanted to wear them over the ear, not on ear..

Hi, I have edition 8 and signature dj and I like sig.dj better. Less treble more bass (maybe little too much for my taste for some tracks). So if you prefer treble go for ed.8 if bass sig.dj it is.

 

[pohoda]

yes and ed.8 (sig.dj as well) are over the ear, not on the ear. and I have quite big ears

Just a small clarification.
 
Yes, the Ultrasone Edition 8 ear-pads go over (or around) the ears, BUT the holes inside these small ear-pads are not big enough to clear most ears, certainly not mines.  So my ear lobes are squeezed inside the ear-pads such that they become painful--my ears that is, not the ear-pads

--after a short period of use.  So it is almost irrelevant that these Edition 8 HP are over (or around) the ears or not:  they hurt like heck after a while.

In that case sig.dj could be better for your ears. I mean physically. Don't know if musically

I am not looking for any headphones. I was merely clarifying the statement about the Edition 8.

  I have false contact with my ED5 !   The removable MMCX plug seems to be the weak part of the ED5. 

 
 
--> has someone experienced this with the Ed8 ROMEO & Ed8 JULIA  that use the same plugs ?  
 

I currently have the same connection issue with my Edition 8 Romeo
 
Sound drops out and in if moved. I'm delaying sending them back to Ultrasone, don't want to be without them

are not aftermarket cables a solution the this problem?

no because the aftermarket cable will still have to use those lousy MMCX plugs 

 

[Dobrescu George]

ah, so the problem was at the headphone plugs. for a moment there, i thought that the cable part of the plug could be the faulty one, things which would save you a lot of trouble!
 
this is kind of sad.
 
I am yet to understand what MMCX plugs are, and if they can go bad easly, because if it can just happen, for me can be a deal breaker..

I already had my phone's plug fixed one time by Ultrasone, and AGAIn, I get sometime sound-off when I move ! 

 
I will have to end-up hard-wiring the cables... with some very good after market cables (WyWire red)

maybe it is just me, but i would buy another pair of detachable plugs, and wire other plugs. just for the conveniency of transport..

This is not a bad idea;  I already have a high quality cable with HD800 plugs that I do not use.
 
Any idea where I can buy the female  HD800  plugs ?

either of these should be good to go...
 
i am wondering if there is anything like a place from where to buy it already modified... i would not want to have to deal with problems after buying... Also i am not sure how to solder other connectors than those the headphones come with...
