I recently picked up some Sennhieser HD250s closed cans and tested it using Oren Ambarchi's Suspension. I didn't know you could experience bowel-shaking base from such small speakers! Then I went and got an Ultrasone Proline 550. Same rich low end but with significant increase in clarity and detail across the spectrum. Now I'm seriously thinking of getting the Proline 750 despite the $400 price tag. Has anyone else experienced these headphones? What do you personally use? Is there any other brands of comparable quality you know of? BTW I'm researching the answers on the web but I'd rather get the opinions of experienced people on this messageboard. |

I have the ultrasone hfi 650s, and they're great, and ultrasone makes good stuff. hifi-auditioning; "Diana Krall - live in paris" is the #1 album for this... |

Weird, in looking at headphones, I didn't come accross this brand, they look nice, but haven't heard them before. If you're going to spend $400, I would recommend Beyerdynamic DT 880 and Sennheiser 600 or 650 |

The 2500 model is quite nice. I think it's the Proline 750 open version. The reason I decided to get Proline Series is that the transducer is aimed toward the outer ear and not the ear canal which creates the perception of surrond sound. I want find music that has a great sense of space so I can experience this feature to the fullest. Maybe it's about time I picked up some Stockhausen? |

Forgot about getting an amp. What does it do besides increasing volume? The level on my cd player is good enough and I don't want to damage my ears. |

Some headphones are hard to drive (particular models of Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic and AKG) so they need to hook up to a Headphone AMP. But if you have an easy to drive set of cans then you don’t need an AMP, hooking them up to your portable CD player is fine. The inexpensive Grado headphones are the best sounding and can easily be driven from portable CD players. I have the Grado Alessandro MS-1 they are exactly like the Grado SR 125 but cost $40 cheaper, but they are only available to some parts of the world. If you can’t acquire a pair of MS-1's then Get the Grado SR-80, they cost $95US |

i dont get it, do i need an headphones amp next to my regular stereo (not portable) for my akg k501? |
||||||||

|
|
sometimes, yes. |

Yeah, I've heard that Grados have the best definition around. Don't think they can match the amount of bass of the Highend Beyers or Ultrasones though. |

I have Grado SR60's myself, I'm gonna go to bed and listen to SAW2 with the headphones, and just for the notice, The BASS is amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
may so be - but SAW2 is anything but "audiophile".... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, lots of distortion/clipping on saw2. try listening to different types of music, from different periods of time. listen to some 60s/70s recordings, it's amazing what you can hear in some good headphones. but also listen to some recent recordings, maybe plastikman's 'closer' as it is all about fucking with ur head/ears. |

i have senn HD 265, bit expensive but they sound fucking great!! BUT if you have good headphones plug it to an amp, because the mini amp of cd player is not very good ; i listens to analord on good rec player + amp + sennhd265 & the analords sounds fucking great. |
