Hi, i dont know anything about headphone, but my brother was talking to me about this headphone brand Ultrasone, i have been looking around for this brand but i dont find any. i need to know where to get this headphone as his birthday is on the 8th of March, its quite urgent that i need some information on whereabout can i get it! thanks guys!!
*
You can try Stereo Electronics Singapore for Ultrasone headphones since it quiet rare at Malaysia. Try contact them and I think they can ship to Malaysia, but be careful coz headphone is subjected to 15% import and sales tax.

Website:

[+] http://www.stereo.com.sg/store/nav.php?manufacturers_id=33

Facebook Fanpage:

[+] http://www.facebook.com/stereoelectronics?sk=wall

P/S - I can order for you but it takes 7-10 business days to delivered to you so I dont think it will delivered to you before 8th March

I have a question about the Jabra ones....does it include the Bluetooth adapter?
It seems that the Bluetooth adaptor is sold separately with the headset?

Jabra SPORT Bluetooth was build in Bluetooth adapter.

since I'm pairing wireless bluetooth head phone to a non blue tooth device; e.i ipod nano, this means i need a bluetooth adaptor like this rite?
based on suggestions that I got from here and much considerations...I'm thinking of getting the Jabra Sport or the Altec Lansing Backbeat 903. What do you think, gshoppe85 ?

[+] Yes, you need Bluetooth adapter for non-Bluetooth player.

[+] If you looking for comfortable then choose Jabra SPORT Bluetooth but if you looking for sound quality then choose Altec Lansing Backbeat 903, so it up to you... smile.gif

ATH-AD300, ATH-AD500 and ATH-AD700 is open-back dynamic, full size headphone and offer you superb comfort for long time usage, the difference between those 3 are their frequency response and performance, ATH-AD700 is more superior, produce better SQ and have great frequency response than ATH-AD300 and ATH-AD500.
