Yes, definitely. It's probably often the looks making people doubt about the quality of these cans because they don't really look boutique.
Yes.
Hell yes.
Do you guys honestly think they are worth $1000?
lol! that's a silly question. you're asking a bunch of audiophiles whether their expensive headphones are worth it? what do you think they would say hahaha.
if you are extremely passionate about headphones AND you find your current headphones unsatisfactory (feel like something is missing) AND if you are specifically looking for a ultra-premium, expensive, bass-emphasizing, closed, portable pair of headphones, then yes... otherwise, probably not. (imo)
also, remember that there are diminishing returns the higher up on the price chart you go. I would suggest comparing them to cheaper headphones with a similar sound signature (like the $300 V-Moda M100 or $400 Yamaha Pro 500) and decide if the difference in sound quality is worth the price difference for you personally.
if you are thinking of investing in a ultra-premium pair of headphones that are $1,000+, there are a lot of great options, so you need to make sure you know exactly what you are looking for and what kind of sound signature you desire.
Wow.. you guys are making me want to jump for a pair right now.
Ive considered getting these headphones, but to be honest I am kind of scared. I am a fan of Ultrasone for one simple reason, the Pro 900's. Only pair i've tried from the company. I would have already went with one of their higher up - such as one of the editions - but reviews and other peoples experiences with them do not seem that great. I just want the same sound as the 900's but "better" if that makes any sense. Anyone have any ideas for a guy like me?
I understand your apprehension as I won a $700 bid for the Sig DJ on Ebay and my heart was racing as I placed them on my head and pressed play on my Iphone. Personally, I can't stand the PRO 900 due to the harsh highs. If you love quality, impactful bass and demand accurate, extended, smooth highs with lifelike vocal and instrument reproduction, the Sig DJ is for you. It also doesn't hurt that they work well as portables and are easily powered. For me, the Sig DJ was love at first listen and there is NOTHING I would change about them or expect them to do better. The Sig DJ and the V-Moda M-100 are the only two headphones I unconditionally recommend in their respective price ranges.
