I recently bought a pair of the Ultrasone Edition 8s. I also bought the Woo Audio WA7 but it's backordered so I haven't received it yet. For now I'm listening to the Ultrasone's plugged directly into my Macbook Air.   I'm finding that the sound has far too much treble for my taste. The...

Hey Head-Fiers!    im looking for a pair of headphones with preferably a detachable cable. I don't own a amp/dac so that may have to be included within the budget.     The type of music i listen to is hardcore/post-hardcore, alternative, metal/alternative metal, rock, techno, i do...

Hi, I'm trying to recable my ed8 but can't get the can open.. Can anybody offer some help?

I've done a bit of research and read up on a lot of older threads but still haven't quite found the answer so I'm turning to you guys/gals for some help. I'm looking to spend around $300-$400 for a used pair of headphones. Thanks in advance!   I've previously owned the Edition 8 and I loved...

I know opinions are like earholes, everyone's got one, but I need some advise. I want a high end portable headphone. I just got the Ultrasone Edition 8 which sound amazing, but kill my ears after a while. The pads are very soft, but not shaped like an ear. I am going to send them back so now I...

I've been a lurker here for years and this is my first post. I've been enjoying my Ed 8's for 1 1/2 years now, very satisfied customer! (Although the right earpad recently lost its grip with the double sided tape..) I'll just ramble on and will be thankful for any insights on my thoughts here :)...

I'm a high school student looking for a pair of over-ear headphones that will be used when I'm on the way to school, in library, when I'm traveling, and studying.    Basically my point is ... -Under 200 over-ear, prefer detachable cords and not too long -Not too ugly looking, and closed...

How great - a site/org only for headphone enthusiasts!  Never heard of head-fi before today.  Found it while browsing for headphone reviews.  I live outside Nashville, TN.  Current favorite cans are Ultrasone Ed 8 on just about any music on the planet.  Glad to be here!! RCBinTN

Hi everyone, I think it's time for me to have a portable\small rig, for work (Yuin PK1) and for some home listening when i don't want to use the main rig).   - Ultrasone ED8 will be fine for home using i guess (need a semi-portable closed can) - Yuin PK1 will be fine for work ? I can't...

Hey guys, I'm quite new to the world of high end headphones and for some strange reason I purchased a pair of Edition 8s. I understand those are easy to drive (I am using a smartphone as source, galaxy nexus/s3), but I would like to know if I could achieve a substantial acoustical improvement...

If anyone knows, please say so. Does B&H photo have it for display?

Liked the Ultrasone ed.8 and used them mostly for travelling, connected to a Mac or iPad. Great sound isolation - was able to use them at high volume inside a plane on a night flight without any complains from the other passengers.   Ended up leaving them on a plane :-(   What should I...

same question as the title... Is edition 8 earpads detatchable?? How??? do I just pull it??? Can I put it back on?

I recently purchaced a pair of edition 8.... I wanted to recable it with a better cable... but after recieving the headphone, I could not dare to open them up..... SO I was thinking about buying a extension cable... When I use a better extension cable, is there any chance of the sound...

I have a problem.  My system includes a McIntosh C2300 PreAmp, 2x McIntosh MC352, MartinLogan Prodigy and other “stuff”.  All this stuff has followed me around the world to various locations.  Wife of course has always hated the look of the 5.5 foot MLs.  Next assignment – London.  Hmmmm no...

I was currently thinking about purchasing a beyer dt880 600ohm which is a midfi closed can and an ultrasone signature pro which is a high-fi closed can. I would normally think the the dt880 would sound better since its open (I listen to rock and metal mostly so I don't need so much bass...

Hey all,   In my venture to move into the portable world (will be starting to travel 60%+ per week soon), I'm trying to gauge the value in upgrading a headphone amp/dac.  I currently have the Nuforce uDac-2, which is nice...I've been plenty happy with it.  I have the ability to get the...

Hey guys, I am wondering, for someone who is using a laptop/phone for portable music (flac), is it worth investing up to 120 euros/150dollars on a portable amp (and maybe DAC) to use with ed.8s? (Quick info: I am definitely not an audiophile, long way to go still.. but I appreciate good gear...

One question gentlemen:  Besides my "open headphone", I need to buy a closed headphone, just because sometimes I can not afford to have sound leaking to (or from) outside.     So.. I am looking for a very-high-quality Audiophile headphone with large soundstage and musicality close to an open...

I am currently debating between the Ultrasone Edition 8 or the Beyerdynamic T5p...which one overall has better sound quality coming off of an iPod or MacBook Pro?

I am looking for a pair of excellent portable over the ear headphones for use. I would like my iPod to be able to drive them sufficiently, and would also like minimum sound leakage. Thus far I have thought about the Beyerdynamic T5P or the Audio Technica W5000. And when I say portable, I mean...
