So what's the word on the new Ultrasone HFI-780????

[Skylab]

I guess no one has heard them at all? I haven't seen a peep on here, and a search didn't yield anything useful. I have never tried Ultrasones, and would kind of like to add another closed can to the stable.

Anyone?

I think you might be better off giving the refreshed Pro 750 a shot. I really like my open 2500's, but sometimes i miss the isolation.

skylab doesn't have enough closed cans!
haha anyhow, I would also like to see a review.

Yeah, my listening situations are such that I mostly need closed headphones. The more the merrier!

Careless Headphones has a frequency measurement up as well as some impressions.

From Headwize:

"3 new models from Ultrasone: HFI580, HFI680, HFI780 and revised specs for the DJ1. All are closed back and foldable, and feature Ultrasone's S-Logic driver arrangement for a natural sound perspective and mu-metal shielding to reduce exposure to magnetic fields."

"The polar-silver-colored HFI-780 is specifically designed for DVD and gaming. It projects a speaker-like sound image valued by gamers. The low frequency ranges are tuned to reach the highest possible synergies with DSP-Systems like Dolby Headphone and Yamaha's Silent Cinema."

I really liked a lot of the qualities of the PL750 and PL2500, but the S Logic just ruined the overall presentation of the music to me by making the mids shouty.

Google a translation. It gets four stars.

i really want to hear skylab's impressions if he gets any ultrasones. i know he's a bass fan, and likes the beyer sound sig, so i have a feeling he'd enjoy the prolines as well. btw why not just go straight for the pro750 or 2500?

Well, if they all incorporate S-Logic, I will be taking a pass, I think. Maybe there will be versions without that? I need to read up on it more, but in general I don't like that sort of thing.
