But, I can usually get the correct placement and just hold them there. Or maybe, I just have a previously unknown OCD regarding circles and ears, I dunno. So, there's quite a bit of adjusting them over and over and being finicky about how they're sitting. And, due to S-Logic, there's only 1 area your ears CAN be so that you're getting the most out of the technology. Due to the circular nature of the cans, there's not really an area where your ears can be so they aren't touching something. The removable cable port is strong (which is a really good thing) with no wiggle. The adjustable-ness of the headband is very solid it stays where you set it. The pads are are paddy and stuff (and there's an extra pair). They are made of that really good plastic that America, apparently, hasn't yet accepted as being better than metal for such things. I wouldn't expect any less from a German manufacturer than to build top quality durability with looks and functionality. Mitis - Identity (for being the most beautiful song of all time. Mitis - Elevation (progressive style bass + high wobbles that drop into low bass very rapidly) Mitis - Don't Know (bass + huge mid range sounds + extremely complex background sounds) Hulk - To The Stars remix (low low bass + low vibes + vocals)īiometrix - Running (bass + wobbly goodness + vocals) Vexare - Clockmaker (bass + mid range emphasis) I'll go into more detail during the testing) And with all that hub-bub out of the way, I'll get started.ġ week old Ultrasone Pro 900s with approx 60 hours of burn in and the "felt pad" part of Kees' mod.įiio E17 being used as a USB DAC + AMP (+12db gain) (35-42 volume) (0 Treble) (+4 Bass). I will be powering these phones with a FiiO E17 being used as a DAC through USB from my PC. I will reserve a post under this review to comment in a couple weeks after the burn in is complete. But even after just 60 hours (most people say 200+ for complete burn in) they have improved incomparably much. After the first day, I was about ready to return them. It's been said before and I'll say it again, these headphones REALLY need a burn in. I have about 60 hours of burn in on them so far. I tried it out with the cotton pad, but that just killed everything I liked about the bass. I have done Kees' mod, but I only put felt pads on the back wall and on the driver plate (I suppose would be what it's called). ![]() With that, the headphones are adjusted or, rather, tweaked for that reason. So, when I was looking for headphones, I didn't know what would fit my needs.Īs for the "specific" nature of this review, I will be focusing on the style of dubstep I listen to and how well the headphones suit it. The mids and highs are there to create a feeling and the bass shoves that feeling down your throat. Before this starts sounding pointless, assuming it already doesn't, the music I listen to combines the "down low" of classy dubstep with the "excitement" of more popular dubstep and does so in a very melodic way. And it's a pain in the ass to find good songs, let me tell you. There's mainstream (brostep like 99% of UKF), the leading underground (like Biome, Mala, Burial, etc) which are very "down low style" dubstep, and then there's the songs that nobody knows and are really only found on Soundcloud and scattered on miscellaneous YouTube pages. But (I'm going to try and say this as least hipster as I can), I listen to really, really underground dubstep. ![]() I listen to dubstep, per se, along with the similar glitchy electronica variations. ![]() As I was looking into what headphones I wanted to buy, I found out that was a really tough thing to do. I'm relatively new to Hi-Fi gear, but I know a decent amount about audio engineering and production. So, this is going to be a more, let's say, "specifically special" review.
