Ultrasone Pro 900 Unboxing

[energeez]

People either hate or love these headphones. i love them. Ive been listening to dnb and dub since 96' , so i have a dog in the fight. Sony xb1000 and Pro 900s are comparable in the best bass department. The way i see it , if you listen to bass music with low rumble and 808 bass, xb1000's boomy nature is better. I prefer Pro 900s because i listen to a lot of neurofunk and twisty grindy synth bass. So in my mind, xb1000-rap and low rumble dub. pro 900s - skrillex/kill the noise/neurofunk

[AFKfromWAR]

@alexbesters M50's unboxing is up already.

[alexbesters]

@AFKfromWAR I know but he asked which headphones we would like a video review on.

[hifiguy528]

Which headphones would you guys like to see a video review on first?

[alexbesters]

@hifiguy528 The M50's!

[Johnniiiie]

If you would start rewieving headphones, maybe these brands would start sending the headphones to you

[hifiguy528]

I do post my impressions on head-fi, but I will start on my Twitter feed too. Thanks for following. (hifiguy528)

[TKTnetwork]

Nice unpacking videos, have you ever thought, as you obviously own a few of those babies, to give your personal opinion about the soundquality and the advantages and disadvantages of the unpacked headphone?

[thedude808]

Have a set of Pro 550's on the way from b&h. Only bought them because they wouldn't ship ATH M50s to Canada but I think I may have made a better purchase anyway. Replacing some defective M-Audio Studiophile Q40s (which I would strongly recommend against, the cable is of poor quality and they are uncomfortable.) always wanted to try a pair of ultrasones and now I get the chance!

[joeyivan]

Mine are coming in tomorrow!! Can't wait!

[BMOCroc]

i love my pro 900's. i ran em 24/7 for 30 days to burn em in before i wore em

[Chickenz805]

do these have a huge bass that kinda shakes your ears?

[Beg0tt3n]

@Chickenz805 if you amp them

[JManNinja]

"I like that" Your video's are pretty much telling us that you have alot of money and can afford nice stuff. Close to nothing or nothing at all actually talk about the Spec's, or about the history of the headphones. Everythings "nice"? When your paying a large amount on headphones, they are going to be nice. Jerk.

[performingmonkey1]

gee thanks for filling us in on the fucking sound

[hifiguy528]

HD600 without delay!

[anomfilm]

"I like that" too.

[CommWars]

Wich would you pick, these or HD 600?

[pixiedawg556]

@CommWars well these are $600 and hd600 are 250-300

[xJDKx]

@pixiedawg556 These are $300 on Amazon...

[pixiedawg556]

@xJDKx There is obviously a sale because in J&R these were $650

[CommWars]

wich would you pick these or the HD600?

[quinonezes86]

How do they compare to AiAiAi tma-1?

[Aizura77]

These are GODLIKE with bassy electronic music. 

[TheONEWELL]

I wouldn't be too disappointed to find these headphones are Made In Taiwan. All Asian countries except China are good at making products. I find Chinese made stuff is kind of plasticy and flimsy.

[AugustFrancke]

it's not plastic... it's titanium -.-

[BadButNotSad]

@AugustFrancke Nope, it's aluminium :P

[oFreddEo123]

Can these work for my MP3 player?

[Stefandurrr]

@oFreddEo123 What a stupid question. I hope no one answers it.

[rjisreal]

How nicely do these fit on the head? All around the ear or is it on the ear? Also how is the sound quality compared with the sennheiser hd280 pro's?

[IIXXBeastXXII]

"they give you alotta jun... stuff" haha nice

[VlogThyme]

I like that! lol I have the HFI 680s, I'm thinking of upgrading though

[005E500]

It's very cheap in Taiwan~

[ipownsomenoobs]

@005E500 how much in NT?

[005E500]

@ipownsomenoobs It's about 320USD in Taiwan~~:D

[djdiligence]

they look so hot but are they better than sennheiser hd 25s ?

[Aizura77]

@djdiligence

I have both and the Pro 900 completely rapes the HD25 in terms of technical capabilities (detail, separation, imaging, etc), but it's got a completely different sound signature. HD25 is very neutral while Pro 900 got a V-shaped freq response.

[energeez]

i love these headphones, i love their bass response.

[quinonezes86]

Do a unboxing of the AIAIAI Tma-1 headphones.

[sml2238]

so you dont like the sound of these at all???? seems odd i always thought ultrasone had top quality stuff. are you using them for studio use?

[jacob856921]

Do an unboxing of the Sennheiser PXC 450. They have a cool box, they are good sounding, they look cool, and I think you would really like them.

[LeanderAdam]

These headphones need a lot of burn-in before they sound at their best. Mine took about 400 hours to really shapen up. Nevertheless, I'm hard-pressed to believe that these sound worse than the XB1000, when they are properly amped and burned-in. Hope your impressions change over time :P

[TRUENGLISHMAN]

HI I THINK YOU SHOULD GET THE PIONEER HDJ2000, PIONEER MAKE THE BEST DJ EQUIPMENT SO I THINK THEY WILL BE GOOD

[hifiguy528]

The Sony XB1000 is FAR better than these in the bass department.

[derbigpr500]

@hifiguy528 XB1000 is crap at anything else then bass, these are all around excellent.

[AlteredVisionz]

@derbigpr500 id be surprised if you owned a pair of xb1000's, or even heard them.

[Swampax]

@derbigpr500 The ultrasones arent allround headphones...At least, if they are supposed to be, ultrasone failed pretty badly on tuning the drivers to be imo. I cant stand these for anything else than some electronic music etc.

[tmtm325]

@derbigpr500 How can you say that the XB1000 are crap other than bass? You dont even have one. They are probably not as good as these Ultrasones but they are pretty good for the price and are certainly not crap. And it also depends on your music tastes.

[phototristan]

@derbigpr500 Agreed. Plus the Xb1000 like huge and not practical. 

[Croozer]

@derbigpr500 UR fulla crap, the XB is a nice headphone for its intended audience.

[DaveK183]

@derbigpr500 XB means extra bass, sir. If these ultrasone would be as good at bass as xb, would cost thousands dollars...

[derbigpr500]

@DaveK183 Extra bass is not good. Extra bass means uncontrolled, boomy, muffled bass that ruins the rest of frequency range. Untlike Sony's, Ultrasones give you strong, controlled, tight bass without ruining the rest of the sound. A lot of people who heard these will agree that they have the best bass of all closed headphones on the market.

[DaveK183]

@derbigpr500 Did you even ever hear them? I have xb700 and I am satisfied..

[derbigpr500]

@DaveK183 Other than having better bass than any XB Sony, Ultrasones will give you excellent mids and highs, tons of detail, amazing imaging and great soundstage that is amazing in closed back headphones. XB700 or XB1000 are not even in the same league as Ultrasone Pro900. They just have a overly boosted, boomy bass. Like a cheap subwoofer.

[DaveK183]

@derbigpr500 They have better detail, mids and high, thats true. But with bass you are horribly wrong. xb havent overwhelming bass, but very detailed bass. 

[derbigpr500]

@DaveK183 Yea I have heard XB500 and XB700. If you think they have detailed bass, then I dont know what to say. You need to listen to some good headphones then to hear what good bass is and what good sound means. XB700 are not even in the same league as Pro900 in terms of sound quality, not even in terms of bass, its just not comparable.. And yes, XB700 have very boosted bass, in fact almost 20 db's above mids and highs.

[DaveK183]

@derbigpr500 But don't heard xb1000. Of course ultrasones 900 are better than xb700.

[derbigpr500]

@DaveK183 They're better than XB1000 as well. Pro900 are best closed headphones for bass heavy music on the market.

[GoRabbids]

@hifiguy528 does this count hard electro and dubstep music

[phototristan]

@hifiguy528 Maybe so but the XB1000 are way to big to be practical.

[DownHilla74]

@hifiguy528 hahahaha you mug, sony sounds shit and are so painfull to listen to music with.....

[tmtm325]

@DownHilla74 lol, dude even the xb500 and xb700 get better ratings than the pro 900 in headroom.

[energeez]

@tmtm325 i sold my xb700s in a week after hearing my pro 900s. I respect what headroom does though.

[wavekiller100]

Do an Unboxing of the Beats By Dre Pro !!!!

[KLE3141]

@wavekiller100

they suck balls

[simbeane]

hi hifiguy, how do these headphones compared to the Sony xb1000? they both have great bass but which one has better mids and highs? which one is better in sound quality and comfortability overall ?

[AdministratorChris]

Are these flat response reference headphones?

[hifiguy528]

For Trance, I really like Sony XB1000 and a good amp.

[hifiguy528]

I am NOT loving the sound. Not even liking the sound.

[t0ni900]

@hifiguy528

Do you have other Ultrasone headphones? How do these, or any other headphones, compare to the HD 600? I am looking for some headphones with good bass, and good for trance music? Maybe you can help me out :)

[Croozer]

@hifiguy528 Interesting.

[musicandgames123]

@hifiguy528 really, cause i was thinking about getting these

[phototristan]

@hifiguy528 These do need at least 200 hours of break in before they sound ideal. Please be aware of this.

[Croozer]

LOL, German headphones made in Taiwan.

[Cr4Lx]

@Croozer I know. Kind of strange, Beyer makes their headphones in Germany right?

[LXbomber]

You're lucky all those head phones..........nice.

[Croozer]

It amazes me how lames on Youtube always want to comment on someone's personal finances, its none of your business, just be happy he posts videos for you to view.

[juantafanta]

Nice unboxing! I did an unboxing video for my Ultrasone Pro 900's as well. How are you powering your headphones?

[hifiguy528]

Some people like to gamble, some like to spend money on women. I like headphones and Hi-Fi gear. :)

[killy731]

@hifiguy528 I like all three.

[westcoaststrangler]

i want to be your friend so i can borrow your headphones and never give them back.

keep up the unboxings.

[YayoiTsubaki]

Man, I've been wanting these for such a long time now. :\

[wwemaniac65]

you are rich!

[Croozer]

@wwemaniac65 Because he buys headphones?

[IamPinhead]

@Croozer No, because he has several thousand dollars of them.

[spiritvwv]

@Croozer these headphones arent cheap

but he might not be rich entirely, he may just spend alot of his free money on cans :D

[wwemaniac65]

@Croozer he buys a lot of headphones, and its expensive. The HD800 are around $1200, the Beyerdynamic T1 is also retails around that area. Not to mention that this headphone probably cost $400-500. Anyways this is an amazing collection man!

[Croozer]

@wwemaniac65 LOL, everything you mentioned cost less than $3000 total.

BTW you can get the Pro 900 for $350.

[wwemaniac65]

@Croozer I was just amazed by his collection of headphones, no need to get all personal

[Croozer]

@wwemaniac65 Its not personal.

[axlegrinder93]

Love my Ultrasones!
