Most of the times extra bass doesn't come for free, something else gets sacrificed in the process. That's especially the case with impedance playing on otherwise identical drivers and enclosures.

Thanks, Skylab!!
By the way, you are in England this weekend, right? I hope you enjoy your trip, and I am looking forward for your review on HFI-780. The only thing is, I can't wait and may pull the trigger on it today.
I loved deep extended base of HD-280pro, only thing was that it had too good of isolation that caused my ears to hurts due to air pressure. Hoping Ultrasone's are easier on ears as they claimed to be. Just in case, you have other thoughts on HFI-780, please PM me and I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks always!

I am going to London this coming week (business, not pleasure, although I adore London). I will be taking the 780's with me, as they will be broken in by then. Hopefully the 780's and the iQube will be a good combo.

To recable this thing in split mode would be a significant upgrade. Like the edition 9....
