the cable is detachable, it screws out and then just pull.
OK, Do you know of any companies that make cables for the ultrasone with like the flexible cloth on the outside of the cord?
I've never heard the DJ1 before. However, I would not describe the bass from the pro 900 as a sub bass, far from it.
It does not have a decay like subs has, its tight, punchy and strong.
Might be that the amp is a miss match? I prefer solid state on mine.
Edit: Go try some fast(er) bass n drum tracks.
It could just be that the EF2 has better synergy with the DJ1s, they are 32ohms compared to 40ohms, maybe it is having trouble driving the PROs.
Well the difference in clarity is huge between the hfi-580 and pro 900. I could even easily tell the hfi-780 shows more details when compared to my friend's 580. Your ears must be doing something terribly wrong or you plug them into the wrong source?!
I think the tube amp is your problem, try a solid state amp
In my opinion the main difference between 650 and 900s are aggressiveness. The 900s punches you in the face with it's bass while the 650 is the comforting type, getting you back up again after getting punched.
You can't really compare them directly. I like getting punched so the 900 are my favourite.
Most of my friends also prefer the 900, well, they think lots of loud bass = quality and that the 650 is crap. Oh well (And yes, two of them own beats).
The 900 are beyond superb when it comes to dubstep.
Listen to Mteden and you will understand.
I agree with the agressive comments. Open/closed is a bigger factor though. The ultrasone has a very closed feel to it, whereas the sennheiser is more airy. I would add that the HD650 are much more of a home headphone, and benefit immensely from a proper home setup, whereas the 900 fare better unamped or with something like an E11 or P51 than the 650. The 650 I listened to in Ray's setup was miles above the 900 in clarity and soundstage, and had a much more balanced sound. There was most certainly no veil in that setup.
(I think I mentioned to you in a PM, you can buy these from buyauthorized. They used to sell for 320 (which is a price that many here got them for,) but recently they have refused to go lower than 350, stating substantially higher costs.)
i bought a silver dragon cable from moon audio for $250, i am happy with the sound. It smoothed out the tingy-ness of the spectrum imo
