Oh yes, also.
For anyone with a Pro 900 as well, 
I understand they require amping. But the thing is I am unsure where to look for an amp good enough for these headphones, and the other thing is that I am on a tight budget for an amp, so I would prefer a cheaper amp if possible.
What should I look at purchasing?
I was going to just use it straight out of my iPod/Phone
Thanks

O2 (Objective2). Very good with the PRO900s as well as all my 'Sones. It's in my pic above sitting atop the NFB-16. If you're using an iDevice as source make sure you use the line out.

Cheers!

Thank you for your suggestion, but I will be needing a more portable amp, one I can use on the go.
Are there any cheaper options as well? or are they all $80 plus?
thanks

FiiO E11 strictly portable with a nice bass boost, cheap too.

Ultrasone 900s are $236 on Amazon at the moment through a fulfilled by Amazon seller. So tempting, but I just bought a pair of headphones (sigh).

I'm selling my Ultrasone HFI-780. Head on over to the sales section of the forum if anyone is interested. Ta.

The E12 should give you a similar effect with less bulk. It's over $80, though. Maybe you can find one at that price when they've been out for a little longer and people start selling more used ones or retailers start discounting more.

Well, this is bull!@#$! This is how my proline 550's look after a little more than a month of careful use, only at the computer. Yes, those are all bits and pieces from the headband and no, I did not sit on them. The warranty representative told me that it looks like mechanical abuse and I can't have a replacement nor a refund. Wat do?
 
The extension mechanism still works fine, but the left arm which no longer has a plastic cover seems considerably flimsier.

I got mine 3 years ago. I used them a lot. They show signs of heavy usage that is for sure. Much more than yours do. But a damage like what you experienced? Can only imagine that someone else but you sat down on them, but I cannot believe that they just fall apart like this without any heavy treatment.

 

[geo2160]

Well, they didn't exactly shatter overnight. They started cracking after just a few days of use, but I heard of such issues and I didn't think it would get so bad. Here's how they looked a couple of weeks ago when I sent them back to the retailer. I just want to know how I can fix them. 
 

 

[pietcux]

OK that makes sense. But it seems like these parts got overly stressed at least one time. I would put the parts back in place and fix them there with blue electrical tape. Then ask Ultrasone USA and not the retailer for spare parts. These are easy to replace.
And you have the PROLINE 550. These are out of production for some years now. I have the successor PRO 550. The plastic looks different. So maybe your can's plastic just got hard over time and broke just because of the age. Mine seem to be technical identical, but have a different color overall. And also mine have been replaced by a new color pattern @ least 3 years ago. So yours where probably already 5 to7 years old as you got them.

 

[geo2160]

Well, maybe it's just my big head which caused the stress. I contacted ultrasone europe and they said they'll repair them free of charge. Talk about great support! Unfortunately, I'll have to get by with some crappy old drivers for a couple of weeks.

I'll try to stay away from trouble . The thing is, now I realise how uncomfortable they were. I really need to get myself a new headpad if they don't replace it with the one on the newer Pros.

Count me in as a fan.  Got the Pro900's a week or so ago and loved them out of the box.  Burn them every night but they are fine as they came to me.

Theres a really good and easy mod to replace the headpad with the HD650 headpad; maybe check that out.
