Hi El,

 

What's the difference between the HFI650 Trackmaster and DVD edition?

If El Schorch doesn't mind me answering this first. I've asked this question before at the head-fi forum. So I'll relay what info I got. Basically the Trackmaster is designed more for audio whereas the DVD Edition is for Home Theater (slight bass hump). Both are full sized closed heaphones. El Scorcho can provide more details.

Yep, N@Z, I saw your question on Head-Fi and I think somebody else answered it for me then. Lots of helpful (and well-informed ppl around).

 

Anyway, to be more specific, the DVD Edition has a slightly wider frequency range, extending to incorporate lower frequencies. This is to make it more compatible with home theater systems, and it works best if you use Dolby Headphone or Yamaha Silent Cinema systems.

 

In English: I suppose this might mean better bass response, but hey, I'm sure all the seasoned headphone users here know that specs don't amount to much. I'm the seller, but I'm also a skeptical consumer. I'm waiting for my test unit to arrive from Ultrasone, so I won't be jumping to any conclusions until I hear it for myself.

 

BTW, I'm currently out of stock for HFI-650, but am expecting the next shipment to arrive over the next 3 weeks. Anyone wishing to place an order may do so in advance, and I'll let you know as soon as they're in.

 

The DVD Edition will arrive later as Ultrasone has just finished their launch in Frankfurt and Amsterdam, and are coping with the demand in the European market. I expect the DVD edition to arrive around mid-May.
