Utrasone Headphones on Location - Handling Noise

[Coolstuff]

I see what you mean. The Proline 750's I have do seem to creak more than the HFI 700.

I'll talk to Ultrasone and report back with their reply.

I received this from Ultrasone today:

Dear Mr. Poss,

We know the problem of creaking headbands, but it only appears at the first production lot. The problem is caused by the type of plastic, which we have improved after the first lot. So the new headphones don`t have that problem. But I don´t know if your supplier has already the improved one. To check that, please contact ULTRASONE USA:

I wonder if they'll swap an old pair for new or if they're directing us to buy new ones.

'spose I'd best call.

I have a pair of ProLine 750 that I use in the studio.

My issue is this:

The ProLine 750 are a bit creaky, for lack of a better term. I mean that when adjusting the headphones, uncupping one ear to check ambient sound issues, etc., the hard plastic yoke/hinges make noise.

Don't know about the 650/750, but I just got a pair of ProLine 2500's from Mercenary a week or so ago and they don't creak FWIW...

Too bad all the proline stuff sounds like a dog's asshole.
