I have to disagree with you there - the Pro 2900s are bright and sibilant to my ears.. less than the Pro900 but still bright (uncomfortably so). Since we are both basically using the same amplification this shows how different ears perceive audio. There is a lot of competition in the 2900s price range now, Sennheiser has its momentum, Hifiman has its HE400, and AKG is bringing a very attractive looking headphone created with legendary DJ Tiesto.
Having owned the 900s and 2900s I don't think either are a must have (otherwise I wouldn't have sold them).. while I really liked the build quality of the Pro900/2900 I just didn't enjoy the audio experience that much (much less so with the 900). I did eventually purchase the Signature Pro which was leaps and bounds a better headphone in terms of audio - IMO one of the best Ultrasone offerings currently.
Yeah that is weird because to me the pro 2900s are very dull. I mean that it is more than noticeable. I have no doubt about how they sound to me. Did you get to use your sig pros before you sold the 2900s?
When I go from the 2900s to the sig pros I wince a little because its such a step up in brightness.
