uhhh...i believe the HD25's sit on your ear instead of around your ear..so that mite get kind of annoying...My Ultarsones are comfortable and I can have them on for hours at a time without feeling any fatigue...

For the moment I'm using a Reloop RH3500ltd (in fully white ) and I like them a lot!! Great sound, good build quality and even cheaper than the Pioneer or the Technics.

Peace
I have the pioneers and both sides of mine snapped but easily repairable to stronger than before with some decent glue ... i used araldite i believe.

I Use the HD25-1 II, and i simply love them. One of my best gear buys ever. Sound isolation is good, comfort is fantastic and sound is Great!

One thing thats kinda steering me in the Dj-1 Pro directions is the S-Logic drivers that will help save my hearing more or less. So lemme know whats the word on those sweet Loops
Yeah dude they are really smoking hot in white
The sound quality is really really good, I was suprised the first time I used them! They're pretty comfy too, I use them sometimes for gig that last more or less 4-5 hours and I have no troubles with that. The build is in my opinion good, mine don't break so I'm pretty happy about that The driver unit

hmm, seems to be that this product is well recommended.

sadly there is no dealer that has DJ1pro in czech republic - and that is damn neighbor country of germany (ultrasone manufacter country)....

well i got my eye on the technology of noise supresion, like in these>

can someone compare these two headphones? AH and DJ1Pro ??

I am actually strongly considering picking up a set of these cans for myself.
Branden Kern
07.01.2009
So finally after much shopping around and price matching I've finally got my pair of Ultrasone Dj1 Pro's. My initial impression of these cans when I opened the box was that they are HUGE. The set came with a carrying case, spare pair of muffs, two cables one with in line volume adjusting where you can adjust volume of the L or R ear independently and a stereo/mono switch. The fit pretty comfortably around the head and my ears dont get too irritated after a long with them on my head, just cant do too much head banging or they mite fall off. These are my first pair of professional headphones so I really cant compare them with anything else, but to me the sound is fabulous, wouldnt mind if there was a little bit more bass, but in the Mid and High ranges I can hear everything clearly, in fact it sounds so good that it puts some of my mp3's to shame. The selling point of these headphones was the claim that your ears portray the same amount of loudness with less dB output, because I value my hearing. I paid $169.99 for it shipped and I believe with all the extra goodies it came with it is well worth it.

No issues at all with mine....

Strange what you read in that review, since the 1/8 to 1/4 adapter that is described there is screwed.. so there's no possibility that it wouldn't hold. Maybe that person damaged the threads?
Branden Kern
11.11.2008
For those of you that have the Ultrasone DJ1 Pro's, does there seem to be an issue an issue with the connector not holding the cable correctly? Cus i found a review on amazon saying

"These headphones (and the various accessories and hard case) are nearly perfect. But there is that awful connector between the cable and the headphones themselves, which never holds perfectly (or screws appropriately). If that were fixed this would be a totally perfect product."

I really want these headphones but i wouldnt like it to have a faulty connector if im having to pay $240 or so for it, any sites you guys can recommend where i can find it for cheaper?
samir abu-sharar
07.11.2008
Both are really good... but once you hear the Ultrasone's.. there's no going back!

I have had these for about a month... The "Technics" will have a permanent rest in a box!!!

Another +1 on the Ultrasone headphones. I love my HFI-700s (discontinued, but essentially a more expensive version of the DJ-1). Construction and joints is rock solid, sound is first class, fit is comfortable enough for all-day wear and my experience of Ultrasone's customer service was excellent.

Highly recommended.

yes the soundquality is great and how longer you have them how better the sound. that's what they told me in the high end high fi store, i had to buy them there because there wasn't a deejay store in the netherlands that had them :P
WrthKDs .
04.11.2008
Hey wb, that's exactly what I thought when I first got them "fits nicely over those large ears"
Okay, actually, the first thought was about the great sound quality (and what I've missed so far..), I believe they are really worth their money! So far, the abuse they got didn't hurt them at all, so I can't really say anything about their customer service..yet :P

i have the dj pro version and am verry happy about them.

i don't know if all the technology described on the website is really true. but what they say about less volume/db but you hear the music as loud as normal headphones where the db/volume = higher
is true

i also like the cups there huge and fit perfectly over my dombo ears

I've answered this about 5 times now but this community is so screwed up it reprots that I'm merely trying to repost.

I have the DJ1 headphones and I love them. They've survived a lot of abuse and look and sound as if I bought them yesterday. Ultrasone's customer service is phenomenal. Headphones are always a matter of personal preference, but I believe these are great.
