| | Description | The PRO 900 offers professional and unlimited sound performance. This is the first pair of Ultrasone PRO headphones with the patented S-Logic PLUS technology. S-LogicTM Plus is the newest advancement in the S-LogicTM Natural Surround System. S-LogicTM Plus profits directly from innovations developed for our flagship Edition range, the ultimate headphones for critical listening. This sophisticated new technology combines precision dampening with micro-acoustic reinforcement, allowing driver, buffer-board, and spatial parameters to complement one another in an optimal manner. So the acoustical design of S-Logic PLUS models and their tonal fine-tuning result in maximum neutral sound impression with more vivid perception of voices and instruments. PRO headphones stand for Ultra Low Emission (ULE-technology) with significant benefits for professional users and PRO headphones show a specific design. The PRO 900 appearance does not only distinguish the professional line but also allows due to more ear anatomy area a higher degree of transparency in combination with the spatial sense and understanding. The PRO 900 headphones offer an additional possibility to choose a black pair of PRO headphones with black and silver velvet earpads. | |

Good, but the bass why? Mar 27, 2010
I am very tempted to give this 4 stars because Pro 900 of all Ultrasones has the most boosted bass, and to make it worse the thin stock cable makes the bass somewhat anemic or choked off, would be preferable if it wasn't so sensitive in the lows. Most people who hate Ultrasone hate it because it's difficult for a source/amp/thin cable to reproduce bass and pro 900 adds fuel to the fire. With a weak amp or connected to electronics with unemphasized bass (like most pro audio gear), it is acceptable, but not with many consumer audiophile electronics with boosted bass themselves. On the other hand, the ridiculous bass is also extremely conducive to hearing recording flaws, any static noise will sound like the tip of your ears vibrating or being stabbed.
Good analytical detail and good soundstage regardless of source and amp thanks to high efficiency drivers, and excels at ambient detail/echo in proportion to better source and amp. Extremely difficult to recommend for audiophiles because it's unforgiving of consumer electronics and sound signature is neutral and boring, without in-your-face mids. Kees cotton mod on head-fi popular for turning pro 900 into "normal-sounding" headphones with less lows, less highs, and more mids, more conducive to pleasure listening. Probably only a small percentage of audiophiles are used to stock pro 900's neutral, ambience-oriented sound, but probably many pro audio workers like such a sound.
Not perfect headphones, but with lucky hit or patience gear matching or EQ can fit your needs. Also headband stretchable if too tight.

Pure Authority Nov 25, 2009
The first word that comes to mind when listening to these cans is authority. I've never heard such deep, powerful and controlled bass out of headphones. Mids and highs are stunningly clear and detailed, and the overall presentation will bring out every detail of your source material, good and bad. Listeners with low-bitrate MP3s need not apply, as these phones will mercilessly slaughter lossy files. As with most headphones, and Ultrasones in particular, give these some burn-in time in order to experience them at their full potential. With high-quality source material and a decent amp, you will be astounded at how good these headphones can sound. Highly recommended.

Excellent sound Apr 19, 2009
The Ultrasone headphone appears to be made of a very high quality plastic. This is pretty common among headphones made in Germany. My AKG 601 and 701 are made of plastic. I believe that the Beyerdynamic 990, 880, and 770 also have large amounts of plastic in the construction. The Sennheiser 600 and 650 also appear to be made of plastic too. All of these headphones originate from Germany or Austria. They may not look as "expensive" without more metal parts, but if you look on the inside of most loudspeakers, you will see that they are also constructed of some inert, dense kind of plastic or resin. It seems to be less likely to cause unwanted vibrations that effect the quality of sound.
The packaging on the new models comes with a hardshell case that allows plenty of room for the headphones and two sets of detachable cords--one is straight and the other is like a pig-tail. They screw into the headphone. If you are going to use an adapter to change the plug from 1/4" to 1/8" for an Ipod or portable headphone amplifier (always recommended), I suggest the Grado adapter because it has a longer wire that allows the leverage pressure to be off the Ipod jack or headphone jack. The headphones come with an adaptor, but it is the straight kind that puts a kind of pressure on the jack. The headphones also come with another set of earpads.
The sound is really great. The sound is very forward. You get a good sound stage with a real sense of separation of instruments and/or vocals. It sounds like the instruments are placed in different locations (which they are of course). I especially like the sound of live performance recordings. The bass is sometimes so strong that it can be overpowering. However, I have heard a pair that has been broken in. The bass is still very strong, but not overpowering. The first pair of the Pro 900's were straight out of the box with no breakin. I am not sure that I would call these headphones "nuetral." If you want nuetral, check out the Sennheiser 600 or 650 or a number of the Audio-Technica (open backed headphones) earphones which present a very balanced sound. These headphones make a statement--like the so wonderful Grado headphones.
These are really lively and fun, but the bass can be heavy. However, on repeated hearing--especially in jazz, I like the firm, strong bass. In modern jazz (bebop and later), the time is kept on the bass. The bass is critical.
I find myself returning to these headphones frequently. By the way, I also really like the Ultrasone 2500 which has a more balanced presentation, but not quite as exciting as the 900's. I believe that open ended headphones usually do make for a more open, airy, less bassy sound.
All in all, I have to say that I really enjoy listening to them.

Great heaphone Apr 11, 2009
These headphones have great sound but need some time to burn in. They provide a sound that is clear and crisp with great bass, outstanding highs, and good mids.
Right out of the box, the bass is very boomy, let them play for a few days and the bass will settle in nicely. After a week or so, the sound will really shine on these phones.
As for physical comfort, they do fit snugly around your head without to much pressure but do rather clamp around your head.
I have used these headphones to listen to indie rock, electronic, jazz, and classical music and I have found that it handles each type of music in a more than satisfactory way. You hear things that you have never noticed before in your favorite music.
I have also used them with computer games and they sound very good and more than serviceable as any other pair of good headphones, however I did not really find them outstanding for gaming.
Music is really where they shine, I would re-buy them in a heartbeat.
