Ultrasone HFI 580/680/780 differences? - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

What are the key differences for the current HFI series?
And which one would you suggest for someone who listens to a wide range of trip-hop, hip-hop, breakcore, rock (radiohead, woven hand) and classical.

Thanks

Anyone?

from what i've heard, 780 = 680 with more bass (or vice versa), but essentially the same aggressive sound. 580 i think doesn't have the treble power or something.

i believe the 680's are more neutral and would be better with a wide range.

Not a single in-depth comparison?

Dont think there is one, but if u use the scattered comparisions between models u might get some picture on which one is good.

Never heard the 580, but the 780 has more bass (a little too much for me) than the 680. Haven't done any in-depth comparison, but apart from that and from memory, they sounded pretty similar.
