So what's the word on the new Ultrasone HFI-780???? - Page 110

I know, I thought it is too expensive, and it's hard to get these in my place, but probably I should take it anyway.

...I thought it will be portable (before I bought it), but I was wrong, It's useless now from any point...

.

OK, fair enough. I will not complain, but remember that new people are coming to this thread for the 'Truth" about these headphones(before they decide to buy it, as myself did), to hear DIFFERENT opinions, in this case my, negative opinion is valuable for them... and can save some cash.

I shouldn't begin this discussion, sorry, never mind.... simply after reading some people's comments about HFI-780 that they are deficient in bass (), I felt that I need clarify something... and, please, "basshead" was used as an example to clarification purpose and not to label people. I didn't actually know that on this forum it's a bad word... I'm quite new here.

Which part of these imperative statements, did you NOT understand?

"Labeling other people in any way is childish."

"stop complaining about *people*"

NOWEHERE does it say to NOT express an opinon about the cans -- other people have THEIR opinions, too. About the cans, NOT the other peoples' tastes, etc....
And, every person's opinion is the "truth" to *them* -- obviously!
A reader can then form their OWN impression, based on the presented evidence.

This thread is chock-full of peoples' opinions of what they think about he 780's -- all very helpful to help make a buy decision (or not).
Your opinion of the 780 is just as valid as anyone else's -- but, no need for labeling people.
Stick to writing about the cans....

Better re-read what I actually wrote up there, and NOT jump to erroneous assumptions.
Is English a second-language for you?
If so, that could explain people making such mistakes in understanding -- like this.
Something as simple as what I worte really should be easily understood -- it's basic reading comprehension for an english-speaking person -- otherwise, anything can happen!
"Stuff" happens on an international board -- unavoidable.
This is the last I will write about this -- no matter what.

Some people don't like the name basshead and don't want to be associated with that even though maybe they are...merely speculating here
Basshead just seems as if that's the only thing that matters which hopefully, most of the time is not the thing.

No need to be so harsh...This is a 1600 + thread about ONE headphone. You can expect the thread to derail at certain points and also getting back on topic again.
I also don't think anyone here is complaining about people who like them and there is no need to put the "their" between * either. Positive comments are nothing more but opinions from people as well.
I also don't think this thread was only meant for the raving comments and that people who have other comments should take it elsewhere...it's a discussion forum which means all comments contribute to an adult and healty conversation AND give a fair inside in the headphone(s) being discussed.

Objective description of sound when asking people is simply impossible. Don't forget people also use different sources which lead to different impressions as well. And enough / a lot of bass is not enough for another or too much for again another person. It's impossible to use that as a reference. The only true reference you have is yourself. No exceptions.

I do understand what you mean though as I'm guessing something like, bloated bass is bloated bass and everyone should / could notice that, right?
It just doesn't work like that.

What you might be able to use as a sort of reference to get you started is read a lot and find out whose likes and dislikes appear similar to yours and "use" them as guidelines.

Here's my Ultrasone HFI-780 Review - if anyone's interested.

wonderful review dfkt !

Well balanced review...thanks!

Great review, with excellent photos!

A must-read, if you are interested in the HFI-780....

Thanks for the review, dfkt. I always enjoy that site.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.

I got the SE530 yesterday, and after having used the HFI-780 exclusively for the last time, I have to say I find the SE530 to be kind of "uninvolving/boring" in comparison.

Nice work dfkt! BTW, how many hours in your HFI-780's? Thanks.
