Just got some J$ Pads. OMG I seriously noticed the sibilance when I put them on, jesus these cans are ear piercing. I almost can't listen to these with the J$ pads on, though the comfort is much better. Maybe I have the pads positioned wrong, but as of right now the XB700 pads are far better sounding IMO and not to far behind on comfort.

I've been using the stock cable lately because I am selling the blue dragon cable and I notice the sibilance quite a bit.  That cable makes a much bigger difference than I thought.

I got mine a couple of days ago, and I enjoyed them right away. I could see how some people wouldn't like them. The highs were pretty sparkly, however they didn't get sharp enough to hurt my ears though. I also got my e11 yesterday to, and it does tame the highs. I don't notice them nearly as much, they don't seem to be as forward.
 
 
[size=medium] [size=x-small]Having gone from the regular iPhone headphones to m50's to these I'm very happy and they suit my musical tastes well. At first when I put them on, after about 15 minutes they hurt my jaw and the top of my head, but they have loosed up a bit now and they don't bother my jaw at all, and actually I find them quite comfortable. I'm really happy I started reading this thread because I probably wouldn't of bought these without this thread. [/size][/size]

Is that $320 for an open boxed? That's the only one I can seem to find from buyauthorized on eBay. Are all you guys getting it new or open box? 
Amazon have these for $380 right now and I jump on it if I can get it for $320 brand new.
 
There headphones sound perfect for me. Movies and games. I also listen to house music and hip-hop. 
What amps would you guys suggest with this? I have the Tritton AX 720 amp right, I'm thinking of getting the E9 to power these. Would they be enough. Looking for something around the $100 range to power these.

You don't need anything to power them.  What you're using will work just fine.  I use a digiZoid ZO for my portable and a hifiman EF2 for my desktop.  The EF2 is so overpowered for them it's not even funny...I can't take it past the 9 o'clock position before it becomes so loud it's unlistenable.  They're pretty effecient...you'll only notice very minor changes going unamped->amped.  really, these cans are pretty true to their sound no matter what you do to them.
 
Get them and never look back.  You'll love them.

They don't need much power to get loud, but it'll take a decent amp to keep the bass tight. I'm loving them out of my µHA-120, I had the E11 before and it did a decent job, but the µHA goes deeper and tighter. 
 
Damn, that last bit sounded like a bad pr0n movie.

I came up with a simple mod that helps the comfort immensely: http://www.head-fi.org/t/579875/comfort-mod-hd650-headband-padding-on-the-pro-900
 
 

 

[matryx]

The Ultrasone Pro 900 is on sale for $330 on Amazon.com. Get it quick before it jumps back up in price.

[fluffygdog95]

It looks like it is at $310 from that link! Great deal for those.
 
I have listened to my Pro 900 for two days now and it sounds very nice. I'm awaiting my amp/dac still for full impressions.

 

[matryx]

I had placed my order and just cancelled it. Read some of the comparison between the Denon D2000 and the Pro 900 and it seems like the D2000 is more suited for me. So I'm going to wait for those to drop now

Hey guys, I'm looking for a pair of moddified xb700 pads for the pro900 so if any of you are getting rid of them: http://www.head-fi.org/t/581391/wtb-xb700-pads-modified-for-ultrasone-pro-900#post_7908263 ...

Dude.  A used set of XB700s can be had for $50.  it takes, LITERALLY, 10 minutes to do it.  20, if you include the time spent with a book on top of the pads waiting for the glue to set.  $100 for a set of modded pads is pretty ridiculous...I mean, I wouldn't be saying that if I were in the States, because I'd probably sell you my set, make another, and pocket what's left.

Would Xb500 pads work?

Nope XB500 won't do it. 1. I'm in canada so I can't have'em uner 80 box 2. I'm ready to pay twenty box so I don't have to buy some kind of glue tear appart my spare pads and mess around whit cissors and take the risk of breaking something I can't fix. 3. I don't want to waist another pair of XB700 there's enough people who've done that already.

Would you take J$ pads? ;D
