Yeah, I took the pads off my pro one time and found that to be the case.

Just got my Pro 900 and noticed that the bass doesn't really sound as solid as I hoped. Slightly better off my Apex Glacier than off the DACport, but it sounds much better off of my iPod Classic.

I suppose the Pro 900 doesn't really compare even with a stock D2000?

I would go as far as saying the only thing they have in common (If you mean the Denon D2000) is that they are both headphones.

Haha. Yeah, I did mean the Denon D2000. The first thing I remember about my D2000 (if I remember correctly) is that it had rock solid bass, though its piercing treble got to me soon enough. I got D5000 cups for it and it sounds a bit warmer now. Probably my second favourite pair of headphones, but its bass isn't as solid sounding as before - which is fine depending on how tired I am.

edit: Alright, tried out the Pro 900 for a day and I am back to my D2000 with D5000 cups. What was I thinking?

Edit2: however, the Pro 900 really does sound quite good straight out of my iPod Classic.

The Pro900 was easily the worst headphone I have ever owned. The bass could be enjoyable for some electronic music but the upper mids and highs were so piercing and painful that I got rid of that headphone very quickly. I recall female vocals sounding very sibilant with these. Anneke Van Giersbergen, who normally sounds like an angel, became a banshee with these :)

A shame, really, as the build quality and accessories are actually rather nice.

I haven't heard the 900 but the proline 750 sucked balls. they should be 50 dollar cans at most IMO.

Oddly enough, I didn't find the Pro 900's treble piercing. I thought the mids stood out more, but they were quite thin sounding. The bass was not that bad and not as extreme as I expected, but somewhat disconnected from the rest. The mids weren't as bad as I would have felt after looking at the CSDs. The treble did sound somewhat veiled. Not sure if it's to do with ringing in the treble/cup. <-Might just be lacking a bit of treble sparkle.

I haven't heard the 750, but I have a DJ1 Pro which I think is supposed to be the same as the Pro 550. It had some moments with soundstage, but overall that one was quite painful to me due to the shallow cups as well as the overall sound signature.

Just tried these out of my new Leckerton UHA760 and they sound a bit better. The Leckerton does bring the midrange out a bit and makes it sound less tinny and confused. More to the Leckerton than the Pro 900 though.
