Fun sounding, but full of plastic and incredibly uncomfortable.

So, yeah. I don't know why I bought these. I could tell from the product photos that I was going to hate them. Boy, never have I wished so much that I was wrong. They're made with nearly 100% plastic construction in a style that will have structural failures in critical points, especially with regards to the hinges. Plastic should not creak when putting the cans on. It should not creak when moving ones head while wearing the cans. It should not creak when taking the cans off. The clamp force is way too strong, and there is no way to fix that other than switching to earpads that are about as padded as a slab of plastic. The first 30 minutes of use with these cans came with a very painful compression headache. They must have been designed for people with narrow heads. I'd have been much happier if the $$ associated with all of the useless extras and storage container was used for just a LITTLE bit of steel reinforcement (or a headband style that didn't act like a plastic vise). While I'm thankful that they added a balanced cable to the mix, I kinda wish they'd have picked a slightly less cheap one that wasn't microphonic. Touch the cable and get a loud noise in the left cup. Cable moves and it makes sound in the cup too. Wonderful. Sound wise? Yeah, these are fun. Lots of low end to make the wubbawubbawubba really rattle your brain. Very nice if you're into that. Pretty crap if you want a balanced sounding set of cans, and especially worthless if you want to use them for anything resembling critical listening. About the only thing that was a pleasant surprise on these was how well they worked with tube amplifiers. I gave them a whirl with my Muzishare i3 and X3T, and they were able to use the balanced output without a mass of hum. This is pretty impressive as most of the other high sensitivity <50Ω dynamic cans I've tried on either of these amps tends to pick up the 60hz noticeably. So, after 3 hours of use they went back into their package, and likely never will be used. They'll go into the pile of cans that I hate. These Ultrasone cans are trash.

FayneYes, they are trash, and good luck on getting a refund from Drop, because you won't get one. Drop has made me a victim of fraud, and Paypal is letting them get away with it, since its past their 180 day transaction policy. Drop is an evil company, and Ultrasone is a garbage company.

Loved-It-Till-It-BrokeI see you reported that Drop eventually issued you a refund for returning the broken headphones. Perhaps you should delete these older "Drop is an evil company" comments.
