Ultrasone HFI-580 vs HFI-780
I have been looking into the HFI series a lot and have figured out that it is what I want to go with.
Now, I just need to know if there is a major difference between the HFI-580's and 780's (or at least enough of a difference to pay the extra money)
I would be running it through a FiiO E3 or maybe an E5 into an iPod Touch.

Obviously Google was the first thing I went to.....although those weren't quite the keywords I typed in.

I haven't heard either and I don't know much about how the 580's sound in comparison to the higher end cans. But, I can tell you not to rule out the 680's- it's a more neutral (less bass heavy) version of the 780's.
In my setup, I couldn't imagine why I would want more bass than the 680's give. It's already much more than my Sennheiser HD-595s.

Just buy the more expensive ones, or else you will be wondering, every time you listen to music: did i make the right choice?

This isn't always the case, though. I bought the 680s instead of the 780s because the descriptions of the sound signature appealed much more to me, yet they were cheaper. I would have stuck with that choice even if the 780s were $50 less than what I ended up with.

are you happy with your 680's bass response?
