My Best Pair of Headphones Yet
Posted by DJ LP from Baltimore on 2012-10-04Posted on Ultrasone PRO 900
Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Built like tanks, a lot of detailed bass, big soundstage for a closed headphone
Cons: Have to rotate pads sometimes
I also own the Ultrasone Pro 650's, which were the best sounding head phones I ever owned until now. After reading reveiws About the Pro 900's, I wondered how much better could they be. Big difference between the 2. An increase in bass that's more detailed and textured. Actually, everything across the board was more detailed and textured. Listening to them on my Denon receiver (AVR-5308ci) they're still a bit bass heavy. I also purchased the HiFi-Man 601. The combo is sweet because now the Pro 900's have a very dynamic organic sound with a huge soundstage. The one thing I don't like is rotating (turning)the pads to get the best sound. You have to do that from time time to time. It can take about 20min to get it right.

The best sealed headphone I ever tried.
Posted by Peste Razor from Turin, IT on 2011-05-03Posted on Ultrasone PRO 900
Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Comfortable, incredible imaging, extended sound stage, Good value
Cons: You REALLY have to burn-in them. 150 hours.
The Ultrasone PRO 900 comes up with a beautiful semi-rigid case featued with a coiled and a straight headphone cable along with pairs of grey velour fabric and black pleather earpad sets.
The S-Logic™ technology delivers the best imaging ever and they offer the most terrific sound-stage I've ever heard in a closed headphone.
Ultrasone PRO 900 are actually the best audiophile headphones you can find for their price.

Great for bass lovers

Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Sturdy design, great bass, great imaging
Cons: somewhat unnatural tonality, may sound unbalanced to some
Upon listening to them, the first thing about the Pro 900s that grabbed me was the bass. Then, it was Ultrasone's S-Logic Plus technology, two features that set the Pro 900s aside from the rest.
The bass is great. It's deep, powerful and punchy. Maybe it's a bit too imbalanced for me, but I'm fine with it - these are a fun pair of headphones. I don't plan on Kees-modding them, but I might consider covering some of the holes on the metal plate - maybe. I don't find the mids to be recessed at all. The highs have great definition, although they can be a bit sibilant and peaky at times. Overall, the Pro 900s have an aggressive sound that's more suited to similarly aggressive genres such as punk, metal and techno. I don't think these are the type of headphones I could listen to for hours on end, but rather ones that I'd listen to one album at a time with. That being said, I don't think there are any serious flaws in the sound signature.
A common issue some people have with the Pro 900s is that their tonality seems 'off' or unnatural, and I can confirm that they are slightly cold-sounding. My K702s have a fair bit more warmth in the mids, but I'm not complaining, although I'm fairly tolerant when it comes to different sound signatures. The S-Logic Plus can feel weird at first, but upon getting used to it, I can hear a gapless soundstage with a good center area, something that's hard to produce with headphones. Compared to the K702s, the Pro 900s' soundstage is slightly unnatural and smaller, but placement of instruments is very precise and the 900s are able to convey a believable sense of distance, which is quite impressive. Overall, I'm impressed. I like these headphones.
