Whoa they updated the accessories included? Kernmac, where did you buy your 2nd pair?
 
Can't stop tinkering with these, I'm afraid the screws are starting to strip.

Purchased from Ebay powerseller.  Cheapest and most reliable on Ebay.  Simply look for Pro 900 and it will come up.  Plenty of Headfiers have purchased from this seller, and not just Pro900s.  As to the screws. The phillip head screws are soft and it doesn't take much to strip the head, as to stripping the thread, you must be careful as you are screwing into plastic.  Purchase new screws (2 mm Diameter and 6-8mm length) ensure that they have decent heads on them and screw them in nice and straight.  I am very happy with my latest Kees Mod job, not too much cotton or you kill off that magical bass;  depth, volume and slam.  Just the right amount of cotton/felt dampening and the Pro 900 is as good as it gets.

Messed up the left driver on my 780s yesterday when I re-soldered the cable, so now I have some Pro 900s on the way. Got them for $320 shipped to my US address from buyauthorized 

.
 
Anyone know if an Alo RX can power them? I'm thinking of selling it to get the new iBasso and run the 900s balanced.

I still don't understand how some sellers have access to Pro900 so cheap. Official suppliers sell it for twice that price????? Anyway at that price it is a fantastic bargain.

The Rx should power them with both arms tied behind its back.  Will they sound as good as they are capable of?  Probably not.  The Rx is one of the best sounding portable amps I've ever heard, but there are undoubtedly some better home amps that will allow the Pro900s to sound even better.

IF it's the real thing and not some knock off.

I guess I'll just save myself the hassle of selling and rebuying a portable then...and look forward to when I can scrounge up the extra cash for a home dac and amp setup. 
 
The reason buyauthorized sells headphones cheaper is because they are in open box condition...I'm kicking myself for not picking up the Pro 750s from him when he had them for $160 shipped.

That's the lowest I've seen. I doubt they are counterfeit since Ultrasone is not as popular as other brands. If you suspect they are counterfeit send me pics or pm me for pics of all the boxing and accessories and internals.

 buyauthorized is a legit seller.  Not fake Ultrasones from there. You forgo warranty, but the product they have is genuine, I can vouch for that. Sent me my Pro900 to Australia in record time, well packed and perfect in every detail including the updated accessories:-Both switch pads are now black and cables include one long 3m coiled 1/4 Neutrik plug, and one short 1.5m terminated with 3.5 or 1/8 plug.

Oh, so they sell "B" stock...  That's cool, as long as they check the stuff out before they ship it.  Good way to save some buckage!

I just got my Ulrasone 900's from BuyAuthorized shipped to me yesterday for $320
I was skeptical at first but they are brand spanking new.
Just open box that's it
On the other hand I'm not to enthused about the sound
I have them plugged in to my iPhone 3GS via headphone out
Will an amp and a LOD make a significant difference???

Yes...and burn-in.....They do take a while to come into their own.
 

 

[blueyan]

You can improve their performance if you can get amp for them . More controlled bass , better mids .

 

[Anaxilus]

Burn in is big on the high level Ultrasones from my experience.  Tough nuts to crack they are.  Those Titanium drivers are quite resilient.

Crikey, i'm up to page 30 and there's been barely a proper listen or feedback of the pro900!
 
the navel gazing, verbose sycophantic weener stroking and vitriolic hissy fits are better than the reviews will be LOL
