Ultrasone PROline 650 Headphones
Conclusion
There's no question that Ultrasone has created one incredible pair of headphones with the PROline 650. For anyone that's in the market for headphones that could be the last pair you'll ever want or need, the 650 would be a very solid choice. If you're on a budget and the $300 price seems like more than you'd normally be willing to pay, in addition to the great sound quality, I'd suggest that you also consider the unique features that they offer. The S-Logic™ technology really does live up to Ultrasone's claims, and if you do a lot of listening with headphones and value your hearing, this feature alone might be worth picking up the 650 for. As good as the PROline 650 is in terms of performance, it still isn't the perfect pair of headphones due to being slightly below average (compared to other high-end headphones) in terms of comfort. For a product that is meant to be worn for long periods of time, it really doesn't encourage such long term use considering its weight, unnecessary pressure on the head and ears, and lack of ear pad breathability. Despite these shortcomings, I still found wearing the 650 to be bearable after multiple hours of continuous use, but if I could change anything about the design, the comfort issues I've listed would be it. I know all the accolades in the world won't make the PROline 650 the right choice for everyone, but I can't help recommending them wholeheartedly to anyone that appreciates great sound quality, deep bass, great surround effects, and the other unique features Ultrasone provides with these headphones.  S-Logic™ technology = better surround sound and less ear fatigue Excellent sound quality, especially the bass! it's simply incredible Good passive noise reduction Metallic shielding reduces electromagnetic radiation up to 98% Sturdy construction Cons Price may be too much for some regardless of quality A bit heavy! noticeably heavier after a few hours Ear pads press down fairly hard and don't breathe well
