Ok. OMG!!!!!, these are way better than my SR225! Excuse me for my noobness as I still am new to this. I may use terms in the wrong manner, just bare with me. Using integrated soundcard in my computer(custom). Also, paired with Bravo V2.
Out of the box(Unboxing video coming up for you guys), I love the bass quantity AND quality. It makes my SR225 sound anemic(right term to use? in terms of bass).
Mids a bit recessed compared to the SR225. Can't wait for it to open up after 100+hrs of burn in.
SUPER WIDE SOUNDSTAGE IT'S RIDICULOUS. Have you guys listened to the sample CD? The first track is crazy. It shows how wide the soundstage is. It's like I'm at a real concert, it's so crazy. The applause track is awesome too! S-Logic freakin works for me. This is awesome, I feel like crying, seriously.
Highs - I was expecting sibilance, but no, I guess I'm used to the Grado sound. The "s" sound isn't piercing from vocals and all.
Sorry if my first impressions are noobish and just full of rambling(I just finished taking a final before picking these up at the package center. That final took everything out of me). I am filled with awe. These are the headphones I want, no regrets. It can only get so much better with burn in.
I will upload the video unboxing in a bit. I am just enjoying my headphones for now.
Also, they came in like brand new, I got all of the accessories, I got 2 sets of pads, both black. Both coiled and straight cords. Buyauthorized is legit guys.
Next up a portable headphone amp.
-Another happy Ultrasone customer!
EDIT: Actually the "S" sound, sometimes it gets really irritating. Will try the kees mod later on to tame the highs.
