So would I like to see someone compare all of these. Now that my HFI-780 is under going some changes I am attempting to be more reserved. They certainty have the UE9 house sound. What other Ultrasone's have that sound? I really don't think the Proline 2500 that I had sounded quite like this.
How would i characterize the UE9 house sound? I would say speaker like is the best way....setting right in the near field of a fine pair of monitors. Getting even more detailed would be using a SET/SEP (Yamamoto is a SEP) amp with single driver speakers.
Ah.... i am so tempted since the first time that i see them (and because of the S-logic plus), but i don't have money in this moment... Very good alternative for my Open headphone! and for movies that is what i like much... and a very good price! (not as the Ed9 (not worth the money))
Slwiser, what are the dimensions of the earpads? (my ears are 6 cm tall and 3,5 cm wide). Those headphones fit in my ears...??
Thank you

Headphone inside pad dimensions look like 5.5 x 3.5 to me for the HFI-780. My ears fit inside and I thought mine were big and they are, 7.4 x 4.4. Maybe they are being rolled up somehow. I did not realize this but they must be. This probably will change the sound in some way from what someone else would experience with smaller ears. This is an interesting discovery. This would also apply to the UE9s as well.
Thank you very much for your answer. I forget that the earpads can be stretched. But you don't feel uncomfortableness in the long term usage?

I'd like to see comparison between hfi680 and hfi780
Me too. I was looking for $150~200 cans and these came to my interest.
I wonder how those two are different? The S-Logic system seems to be very interesting.
Looks like Ultrasone has decided to make their headphones more comfy going for oval shaped cups instead of the round ones, which due to their smallish diameter, rest on your ear unless you have then on the little side of things.
Also seems that the ear pads are more robust and don't tend to allow the driver-plate getting too close to the ear. Is all this correct?
Sonic wise the new HFI-780 seem to be an excellent more affordable alternative to the E9s, sharing their warm, full and musically engaging sound. I'd like to know -and I bet more mates in here-, what are the things the E9s do better or way better to justify their x5 price.
On the other hand many of us have other Ultrasone cans which could be our reference point to know what to expect if going for the HFI-780 or the E9s. I'd be very thankful if someone using now the HFI780, having or knowing well the HFI-2200 ULE, could share with us how do the HFI780 or E9 compare to them.
I briefly listened to the Pro650 and found them a bit on the bright side of things but with a very good bass response, although a bit enhanced. They were the reason I took the plunge to buy blindly the 2200, expecting a more relaxed sound, which they provide. I kindly ask you Ultrasone Pro owners to share your impressions about how would compare the 750 or 2500 to the 2200 and the new 780s.
You guys are just going to have to wait a little longer till others who have gotten them chime in on what they are hearing...Maybe the HFI series always had this sound profile and I just did not know it.
I probably got my impressions ahead of the cart so to speak. I was just moved by their sound profile having be so much like the UE9...and I had to tell everyone. But be patient and you will have more impressions soon by others.
