Gadget Show Live 2010 :: The Ultrasone Edition 8 headphones

[rpotech]

They better be gold plated for that price lol

[rpotech]

12950 pounds and there not even cordless, what a joke.

[Hyzing]

@rpotech cordless is bad.. you are a joke

[rpotech]

@Hyzing

Only if you can't afford good ones, theres nothing bad about cordless. They makes everything better, no tangled wires, no forgetting the headphones are on your head when you stand up and the cord yanks them off, no plugging in and unplugging if you want to use speakers, If guitar amps and distortion peddles for professionals can be cordless while there jumping around on stage I dont see why the sound quality for a basic pair of headphones cant be.

[tmtm325]

@rpotech Sound is what matters and there is no company out there that currently makes wireless headphones that sound as good as wired audiophile headphones.

[rpotech]

@tmtm325

naa man get the whpiai from rca these cordless headphones are choice, velvet ear cups flawless sound and no tangled frustrating cords or wires just good music and there light as air, they charge right on the stand they sit on too, you can adjust the sound right on the headphones too so no more remote controlls and you can listen 2 ur favourite music in the other room if you want, and has multiple channels so you can switch from computer to ipod to phone to tv if you want.

[rpotech]

@rpotech It's 1295.50pounds, so 1,500. Not 15,000.

[elpedorromayor123]

these headphones r a piece of shit id rather fuck thousand sluts with da money

[gabrieldscar]

hd 800 is in my opinion better

[CiaranVanDon]

If you have more money than sense then buy these :/

[exosfear512]

expensive rip off my skull candies are way better than any of their piece of shits.

[nukeshockhybrid]

@exosfear512 dude shut the fuck up , i am very sure you dont know anything about anything audiophile , skullcandies are for pussy emo kids who like basting their pussy emo ears with distorted lousy bass , i got the edition 8 and 10s and just got the hd800 so yeah i know what i am talking about iv got d.a.cs more expensive then your computer , so dont spew bullshit about something you have not tried cuz...does not mean you got no money to afford one doesnt mean they are bad

[exosfear512]

@nukeshockhybrid wtf is a d.a.c? you nerds gotta let go of theses placebo crap, my friend had the hd800 and he returned it straight away because said it sound like my skullcandies he didnt keep the hd800 because he said it was a rip off and they look ugly as fuck compared to my skullcandy cans. And shut up my alienware is the best of the best and it has 2 gb ram.

[nukeshockhybrid]

@exosfear512 yeah it nerds who make your life fun we make and invent the stuff you enjoy and a d.a.c is a digital to analog converter ( it is basically the sound quality control ,and the dacs in ipods suck bad ,i am pretty sure he sold it cuz he was listen to it on an ipod, its like buying a ferrari and driving it in a small carpark if you just connect it to your laptop or god forbid an ipod you wont hear a difference without a dac that can match up .

[nukeshockhybrid]

@exosfear512 and !!! a good dac can cost between 200 to 400 a highend dac can cost from 800 to 20000 , and even if he had a dac if he was listening to it in mp3 format then all is still wasted mp3 song have a 128kbps rate my flac format songs are up to 1411kbps the higher the rate the more detail u get in the songs, so go use a proper dac with your music in 1411kbps with a proper amplifier and compare it with your skull candies , its not placebo because computer charts the freq and difference

[exosfear512]

@nukeshockhybrid haha. im only kidding about the skullcandy thing, I just get amused when audiophiles hear the word skullcandy and good in the same sentence. I actually started off with the HD555 but I'm planning to get the HD598 when it gets a bit cheaper. I was actually considering between AKG or Sennheisers but it seems that the Sennheisers have better performance for money for mid range cans. I also want to get a Cowon J3, because iPods are shit can can't play flacs.

[nukeshockhybrid]

@exosfear512 heard the hd 600 are pretty good to ..

[Swampax]

@exosfear512 Heh, the funny thing is, skullcandy is actually beginning to make a few half decent cans, the mix master and aviater arent complete crap :P

But yea...You almost had me go berzerk for spouting that sort of shit...Trolling ftw xD

[ohyaimcoolest]

frequency response please... because all i hear is.... what sounds good to you?! whats the price on that one? build and style should be explained last... I didn't get much out of this video.

[buzbee1991]

this is literally the most pathetic company.. same quality can be found under 150$ for there 1400$ headphones, that actually imo look a ton better. this is beyond stupid just hilariuos

[SleepyGypsy86]

@buzbee1991 Are you an idiot? Just so everyone knows, buzbee is 100% incorrect and retarded in real life. Nothing but the Beyer T5p comes close to this in closed back. 

[buzbee1991]

@SleepyGypsy86 i am very familiar with these and many other headphones, sounds like ur pissed u read my comment after wasteing 1400 on a pair, regardless, there good but not even remotely worth that price not even close. Retarded? really? u have to be kidding me, ill stop responding so you dont have to continue trolling so hard.

[hellomoto170]

Awful salesman, I have no sales qualifications and am 16 but I honestly think I could be 10x more informative and convincing... Awful interviewer too. Ah well I suppose these guys don't really know headphones that well (not that I do)

[vyaschady]

I have a few good pairs of headphones, DT770 Pro, Senns HD650, Beats Studio, Monster Turbine Copper, and Monster Miles Davis. And i just received the Ultrasone Edition 8, i bought it for $850 on ebay second hand. I saw how expensive it originally was, and the seller had used it for only a few hours. For me the sound would be comparable to the Beats a little. But it also is much more clean and much has a much wider soundstage than any phones i have ever heard before. Part 1

[vic028]

ultrasone or bose? i havent used bose yet

[catatito]

@vic028 I would suggest Ultrasone, I own both the Pro 750 (ultrasone) and the QC 15 (Bose) and they're totally different: the Ultrasones are more for studio while the Bose are more for traveling uses, speaking about the sound, Bose ships their headphones with their own equalization so you can't really play with the levels while hearing your music, on the other hand Ultrasone headphones are completely flat.

[aesops52220]

@vic028 Ultrasone hands down(sound wise)

[lizard944]

Just so future readers don't think I'm a kook, the vid where the rep loosly claims that the special metal will prevent brain tumors, has been removed. That said I'd thoroughly audition these before buying.

[Anonymous122131]

I love how neither the interviewer nor anyone in this thread knows what they're talking about

[Maccaumjftw]

Overpriced piece of shit.. probably $500 for the leather alone

[lizard944]

The company rep says: "These are the best drivers, I THINK they are titanium. Seems like the only requirement to be on their sales staff is to have worked retail in the past and be able to read the info on the box. I even heard one rep named "Cathy" say that the special metal on the earpiece will reduce radiation and thus reduce cancer or tumors. The product may be good, but infommercial advertising is revolting.

[Anonymous122131]

@lizard944 Reducing the radiation? It deflects cell-phone radiation or any other radiation that might interfere with the sound.

[lizard944]

@Anonymous122131 I know. These are not my words. Look at the 18th vid down on the right -----> Labeled "Ultrasone Headphones TMNtv" The rep says (paraphrasing) that the special metal shields you from radiation similar to cell phone radiation and then adds the word "tumors," as in "brain tumors." Utter nonsense.

[Anonymous122131]

@lizard944 Oh it's the rep? Wow. That is pretty dumb.

[spikecellwarrior1]

nice i really hate the colors of the cheap PROs

[thevladnr1]

second :D 

[longhairedbeatnik]

These Ultrasone EDITION 8 are totally awesome and deep breath are actually worth the money, the sounds you actually hear are truly breathtaking , like the price tag i know, but ask yourself when did the ultimate of anything ever come cheap.

[kingduqc]

@longhairedbeatnik

O.o, you bought that?

[david292978]

@longhairedbeatnik would your recommend these headphones for heavy bass electronic music , like house music, techno, electro and so on? i bought these ultrasone dj1s for 200, and i was just blown away, considering that everybody here is making a fuss out of dre beats, that, for double the price, are 2 times poorer in quality. i cant help but to be curious about the quality of these edition 8's. please get back to me with your honest opinion

[david292978]

@longhairedbeatnik one more thing, will these headphones deliver using and ipod? i actually have a bang&olufsen mp3 but i only have 4 gigs of storage so i gotta go with the ipod.
