Now I don't know whether to get Sennheiser HD 650's with Ken's 18G JenaLabs Cryo headphone cable or the ALO Modified Ultrasone HFI-780's with the 18G JenaLabs Cryo cable? I don't want to get both. Any advice from you headphone fanatics would be sincerely appreciated...thanks
Boy, that's a tough one. You really do need both.

The HD650 with JL cable to get respect here on head-fi, and the JL cabled 780 for everything else.


Just kidding, since I just picked up some balanced HD650's...
