Hello,new here.
I felt that I should post some of my Impresions on the HFi-780s that I've had for a little over a week. They have over 150hrs of play time on my lap top and Zune 8gb and still climbing.
First off stay away from these headphones...that is for the first 100hrs
.
Right out of the box they had no bass and sounded worse than my HD280s.
I was very dissapointed even though I have read every thing about the burn in time for Ultrasone headphones. I was even more dissapointed after reading how much people dislike the HD280s, and I felt that the HD280s were far better in every way compared to the HFI-780s.
Thank god the burn in time helped these phones. I am happy to say that they now out perform my HD280s in all areas be a large margin
.
They arent as comfotable as my 280s, even though they are the same headband, they dont have good sound isolation and I wish the headband was better padded, it is very stiff.
I wanna get into the sound quality but all I have to compare it to are my 280s and they are outperformed. Ill just say that the bass is amazing on these things nice full and round. Electronic music shines on these things. I listen to Infected Mushroom, DaftPunk(2007 live) more and I just get a big smile every time I do. If you like Vocals you wont be dissapointed either. For vocals I listen to Celtic Woman and the songs Walking in the air and Orinoco flow just blow me away every time, they sound amazing.<- ima big softy
I know that this realy looks jumbled and randomly put together
but there is just so much to write and so little time as I gotta go to work soon. One problem that does bug me more than anything is that the earcups just have so much padding that the driver is a bit far from my ear and I always have to apply more presure on the earcups to get better sound ( someone please mod this).
I'll add more later as I gotta get going now and I'll end it with this is the best $200 I have ever spent
