    Sony MDR-1000X

    As one of the original "Creakers," I cannot fully express just how wrong you are. This is an intermittently appearing (among various individual headphones) PHYSICAL variable consisting of a plastic on plastics contact. Unless you've actually heard it, please explain how you came to this...

    Sony MDR-1000X

    Many of us have had the "MDR-1000x creak" issue. I believe it is important to make Sony aware of this manufacturing issue. A call to Sony tonight told me to direct this problem to: Community.sony.com I have started a thread there and would like others to please join in. Thanks, BarryT

    +1 on creaking noise bad enough to cause me to return these otherwise wonderful headphones. BarryT

    I returned mine unfortunately for exactly the same problem. Sure liked these cans, but the accompanying noise is untenable. BarryT

    Sony MDR-1000X

    For those that have the opportunity to compare, I'd be very interested in comments on the relative cup sizes of the QC35 vs. the MDR-1000x. I've biggish ears, and from pictures of each one, the Bose appear significantly more generous. Thx, BarryT

    Anyway, that what the US Bose site said...not really all that important, is it? I do look forward to your comments on the comfort of the new Sony vs. the Bose. Thx. BarryT

    Don't forget that MANY will be considering these headphones for distance flying, which brings into play factors of WEIGHT and ear cup COMFORT when evaluating for "best". BarryT

    Ultrasone Signature DJ

    I love my Edition 8's except for one little thing:  they are a bit "harsh" in the uppers. Which of the Signature's (DJ or PRO) would be the closest to giving me it all: The Edition 8 sound with a just of bit of high end "taming?"   Barry T

    Ultrasone Signature DJ

    Quote:   Quote: Great answers, and I appreciate.  Still on the fence, so next question would be COMFORT.  The ED8 earcups are almost (but not quite too small for my ears. Would one or the other (SPro vs. SDJ) offer more comfort and/or a larger earcup?   And thanks again, Barry T

    Ultrasone Signature DJ

    I have Ed8's and love the sound, BUT the high's are actually painful to me on louder passages. I drive them both without an amp and with an E17. I'm thinking of a "side slide" to either an SPro or an SDJ to keep the lows and mids, but to tame the highs. I need some opinions on which I might be...

    Is the ultrasone edition 8 the right headphone for me?

    Are the earcups of the Edition 8's larger, smaller, or equal in size to the Senn Momentums? Thanks, BarryT

    What portable, circumaural, closed cans would have a signature sound most like the HE-400's?

    The title says it all... Cost is not an issue, comfort could be.   Thanks, BarryT
