Basically you can say the same thing about any mod that was done to any headphone, didnt sennheiser think removing foams from hd650 would make it sound better? and list goes on.. All I am saying is that I love the sound, you have to try for yourself though.

This might be a real stupid question but what are those wire things on the pads?
And i'm not saying that the pads don't add better SQ for the Pro 900 in your experience, but wouldn't ultrasone put earpads on the Pro's like the something along the lines of the J$'s if it were to make the overall SQ better. There must be a reason why they chose their stock pads correct?

Good Point. I don't doubt you hopefully more people try the mod so we can get an overall opinion. I am getting the Pro's just being patient trying to find a good price.

Count me in! I just paid B&H $410 shipped for a pair, and I'm pretty excited. I would also like some more in depth comparisons/impressions regarding the J$s. I owned them for my old D2000's and they were definitely a worthy investment. FWIW, I will be using my Pro 900s with a Reference 9 and modded m-stage. Now the 7-14 wait til BH ships them because they are out of stock...and another 2 week burn in.

Hello, I own the Ultrasone Pro650's and I like them a lot. I purchased the 900's about a month ago (still waiting for them to come in). Now I listen to jazz as well as a little classical. Let me tell you this, there is a lot of jazz music with very deep bass. I don't know if the people complaining listen to speakers at all. If they do I would probably think that they have bookshelf speakers that sound good but do not produce deep bass. I have Dynaudio 2.5T's (speakers) and M&K MX200's (subs). My problem with headphones have always been the fact that they never gave me the type of bass (quantity and articulation) that I was looking for. The 650's are the closest so far. I can't wait to hear the 900's, whenever Guitar Center get's them.

The PRO900 driver is higher resolution all around. Plan to match it with better components, as it will show more flaws than the PRO650's.

 

[Leander7777]

What kind of comparisons between different heaphone drivers have you already made?

To all who are interested in purchasing the Jmoney pads, here is a quote from another thread on Ultrasone edition 10 ear pad issues:
 
"I was told by Randy Fuchs, that the Ed10s feature a unique, offset-driver design and the ear pads material, shape, etc., must be of exacting standards and material to calibrate the acoustics differential resulting from that design.  If that isn't done correctly, the Ed10s behave and sound like a badly tuned custom IEM.   This explains why those defective earpads have made such as negative impact on overall SQ for those unfortunate owners--including me--who got one of those units."
 
I'm not dissuade you guys from purchasing them, it's just a heads up. You never know, maybe Jmoney accidentally engineered pads that perfectly fit the acoutics of the pro 900's ear cups.

Okey, this is getting comical now. Just give it a try.

We're just sceptical...

I think I'll pass for now, as i'm really enjoying them in their current form and either way I have a custom cable on it's way to look forward to.

 
 

 

[Nachkebia]

Congrats on cables and good luck been skeptical

I'm mostly a rock/metal listener so, while Grados are a perfect fit for my musical preferences, I just can't stand to wear the darned things! Most of the owners in this thread keep going on and on about how great they are with electronica/trance/other, but there isn't much mention of rock. How do guitars sound on these?

 

[hellomoto170]

Hello guys, could you help an amateur like me please?
 
I want to purchase either the Ultrasone 2500's, the 900's or the 2900's.
The 2500's are cheaper and I thought I would get them, but if the new 9's are a lot better, I will go for them. Has anyone got any recommendations?
 
Also, I really don't know whether to get closed or open (900 or 2900/2500). I do mainly listen in quiet places like my room, but could someone please tell me the differences in sound between these models, open and closed?
 
E.G, whether one has more base, a wider soundstage, leaks more, etc etc.
 
Thanks very much!

Hi everyone - long time lurker of Head-Fi and especially this thread, almost daily actually haha.  I've pretty much decided on getting Pro 900s - either from buyauthorized or from B&H.  Just playing the waiting game now.
I just have a quick question for the FPS gamers out there who are using the Pro 900s for gaming in addition to music (first) of course
 
 
Dolby Headphone or CMSS-3D for these cans for positional audio?  I realize a lot of it boils down to personal preference, what works best for each person, ymmv, etc but I"m just looking for thoughts.  How's the positional sound on these?  I've only heard short testimonials here and there but people seem to be pleasantly surprised by the ability of these, especially since they're closed.  I think it's pretty great that the headphone that seems to fit my sonic needs also for most intents and purposes fits my gaming needs as well
 
 
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
 
oh and @above I don't have hands on experience with any of those headphones but the closed model (the Pro 900) definitely has more bass and less leakage/more isolation.  Undoubtedly.
