These headphones keep coming up as recommendations for bass lovers who also want to experience higher end sound. They seem to be a good price at 180$ on amazon right now. There is just one problem at that is that usually people take points off for the "harshness" of the highs. Everyone says they...

Hi everyone! looking to replace a pair of Sennheiser HD558. Those are ok but a litte too dark sounding for me. Plus I want a close-back head phone this time, and a replaceable cord. Primarily I'd listen to these at home, through a TEAC UD-H01 dac, Onkyo TX-8050, and Onkyo C-7030. I'd mostly be...

Budget: 140 Music type: House, dance, trance, electro Preferences: i like my bass but don't want my music to get distorted.   I have been told to stay away from M-50's and have been recommend Ultrasone HFI 580's and TMA 1's     Thoughts?

Hi all,   I would just like to start off by saying that I am in no way an experienced audiophile. I love music, and have enjoyed it through many ways such as IEM's and speakers. I have come to the decision however that I would like to have headphones rather than IEM's for me on the go. I...

Hey all!   Well, I'm new to the site, and also generally new to the headphone game, so I would love some input from some more experienced enthusiasts. Right now I am looking to buy a good set of headphones for some around-the-house listening. I'd like to get some closed, full-sized...

Hello, I'm a big goa & psychedelic trance listener. I currently have a samson sr850 (which is good), but I'd like to make an upgrade :-) I have a budget of $175 for new headphones. I'm also thinking of buying a new mp3 player, because I think my sgs2 is a bottleneck for the sound quality...

I was wondering if the Shure 940 pads will fit on my ultrasone hfi780.

Hi guys, i'm new to this forum and also headphones so i don't really know a lot about headphones and the terminology. So i want to buy a set of headphones which is $150 or less. After going through many different threads, i've narrowed down to Ultrasone HFI-780 which i've heard that it's a very...

*** Edit - I added further notes after modifications to the 780's, see Post #10. *** Edit - Months later, I finally finished the recable on the 780's! See post # 31 for brief notes. *** Edit - Final impressions in post #41 - I dig 'em! I'll continue to update as I progress with this...

I'm a noob at this whole headphone thing, but I was wondering if there are any surround sound headphones out there? Because I heard that the Man of Steel Soundtrack had used the Headphone X from DTS which created a "3D Virtual Surround Sound" stuff. And I did some searching and found out that...

I'm at a deadlock at a choice between two headphones, should I choose Ultrasone Hfi780 or Sennheiser On ear Momentum? Or Ultrasone Pro 750? I DONT KNOW WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE, but according to Cnet, they said that the Momentum doesn't have much bass or comfort. I'm at a deadlock since my dad has...

I have the Ultrasone Dj One Pro, which i am powering with fiio X5 as direct source.   Is fiio x5 enough to power them?...   And also, is it worth getting signature DJ, if i will have fiio x5 as the source?....   i am also interested if i can get a portable amp from fiio to power signature...

Hello,   I'm new here, and so far I spent many hours reading interesting things on head-fi, it helped me a lot for selecting my new portable source + closed cans.   So I'm having, in a few days, a Fiio X3 with a pair of Soundmagic HP100 for home and also sometimes in the train, during...

I bought the Ultrasone HFI-780 i while ago and they were great but the left side had a crackle during low bass. now the right side has completely stopped working. I would like to know everyone's opinion on what I should get next. Since I'm going through the trouble of getting new phones I kinda...

I want to upgrade my beyer COP, but want something with more detail in the sound and that can fold up.  My options are V-moda m100, HFI Ultrasone 780, and Ath m50x, and I am unsure of which to choose.  I have tried to ath m50 and found that the sound was much more detailed from those headphones...

I just ordered some HFI-780's. I heard the highs are a touch too harsh and that the sound stage is 'meh'. What are the best recabling and modding options around that will settle the highs down and give me a little more soundstage? I heard S2 modding and recabling were good. If so, are...

I have every headphone I've ever wanted. An airy headphone (q701), a balanced closed back (q701), an orthodynamic (t50rp), an aesthetic portable (mdr1rmk2). But now that I want bass, the XB500 is nowhere to be found in Toronto, Canada. I really want to avoid online orders because I have over...

I am looking to purchase a desktop amplifier for my headphones.  Curently I have a fiio e11 portable headphone amplifier, but when I am at home, I want an upgrade in terms of audio amplification.  The headphone that I am currently using is the Beyerdynamic COP, but looking to get headphones that...

Contemplating this purchase and would love to hear opinions of actual owners of this product. Thanks.

After using my ATH-OR7’s for about 4 years by now, they are starting to fall apart. Cable has broken twice and the leather parts are flaking. I’m therefore looking for new ones. I really liked the sound of the OR7’s. It has bright highs and deep and tight bass. I use Yamaha EPH100’s as IEMS, but...

Here's an example of what I listen to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRBUMlFlqHU My budget is around $200, can someone direct me to the right headphones to get? I will only plug them into my macbook pro and my samsung galaxy s3.   hopefully you guys can help me out :)

Out of the ones listed (please also add other similarly priced ones that you think are suitable), which one would you go for?   Music I listen to pretty much has to have a guitar in it somewhere, although I do listen to Kanye West, Nujabes, Eminem and Jay Z among others now and again. Some of...

I'm looking headphones for me. I don't have experiences in the question. I listening to heavy metal, metal and techno line hands up, trance, dance. I've a few model what i was searched. These models: -Audio-Technica ath m50 -beyerdynamic dt 770 pro(80 ohm) -ultrasone hfi 780 -ultrasone hfi 580...

I want to make sure they will work well for the musical styles I listen to.  I like rock, metal, pop and electronica.     The kind of sonic character I'm looking for is punchy bass that isn't boomy, neutral mids and good clear highs.  I don't like laid back highs. Do you think these...
