Default Ultrasone HFI-550 & HFI-650 Group Buy Blowout!!

Ultrasone HFI-550 & HFI-650 Group Buy Blowout!!

Moon Audio and Ultrasone have teamed up to do a special Head-Fi Blow out on 2 Ultrasone models. The HFI-550 & HFI-650. The HFI-650 was only available in Europe and we managed to get a bunch of these shipped over to the states.

Here is the deal. The more units we can get spoken for and bought the cheaper the price gets. Please Post Here if you would like a set. Which is basically this Thread.


The going rate for both of these phones were:
HFI-550: $189
HFI-650: $249

If we can arrange a purchase of 25 of each we can do:
HFI-550: $115
HFI-650: $130

If we can arrange a purchase of 50 of each we can do:
HFI-550: $100
HFI-650: $115

If we can arrange a purchase of 75+ of each we can do:
HFI-550: $85
HFI-650: $100

Those are truly special prices.

Moon Audio will also offer a special recabling price on these. Moon Audio did a couple of recable experiments and it looks like the Blue Dragon is the best match for both of these phones.

For this new technology additional equipment is not required. Take a pair of ULTRASONE headphones plus your sound device and you will be ready for the 3-dimensional music enjoyment!

Safer hearing
In addition, the HFI-650 is easy on the ears: The S-Logic™ Natural Surround Sound System allows an up to 40% lower dB output (3-4 dB) for the same loudness sensation, thereby the risk of hearing defects may be reduced enormously.

Due to customer enquiries we implemented an additional function which enables you to fold back and up the individual earpiece without removing the headphones from your head. Due to this folding mechanism, these headphones can be compactly stored and easily transported in a suitcase.

These 2 Ultrasone's use single entry cables. We turn it into a dual entry and wire the recable straight to the drivers. Reducing the signal path for the drivers. Here is an example of before and after.

Drew,

How many units have you lined up so far?, The "HERE" link above does nothing, but I could be interested in two (2) if the price is right....

Thanks Drew I should have figured it out. BTW, I already own an stock PROline 2500 and an HFI-780 w/ a re-cable so of the two above which one would be the best to complement them.

The 550 has a lot of low end when compared tot the 650. The 650 is a little more refined. But not a night and day difference between the 2. I like the 650.
