So what's the word on the new Ultrasone HFI-780???? - Page 35

I'm wondering, I have some Proline 550s, really like them. Is it worth buying the HFI-780s?

unfair! did you ask for it?

I didn't ask for it. It was just their standard shipment method at that time. You should call & ask em why they're sending yours UPS ground when other shipments were FedEx 2nd day.

Dude! You don't need different ears, you need different sources. The cans are so transparent he's just describing how bad his iPhone sounds. His ears are fine.

Got mine fed exed also in just 2 days from same place... and these can's have punch with a good amp. I have not heard your amp but my go vibe petite sounds totally awesome with these can's. the petite is a tad bit warm which i think helps and i think a tube amp would make these just better.

It was shipped from Tennesee right?

Mine was shipped UPS ground, as well, but it is only taking two days to get here. I think RMC audio chooses whichever shipping method is cheapest but will still get the phones to the destination in two days.

This Marcus guy always has different opinion than other, I don't know if the opinion biased by the reality he's a person who sell headphones or a true enthusiastic headphone hobbyist like us, and I still remember how he express unlikeness to Denon D2000 and recommending some unknown headphones (at that time)over D2000.

But it's always refreshing to read different opinions
especially for people who aren't able to audition it first, and playing blind testing games

Yup from Tennesee, still got the fed-ex box just in case something weird happens hehehe. and I have to send it back. So far so good

Oh yeah I am in Southern california. It was send 2 day delivery but got here in 3 days.

I'm in Northern California. They shipped today, and won't get here until Tuesday. Which is odd in my opinion. I thought UPS Ground took less than 5 days usually. Oh well.

IMPORTANT UPDATE IN THE ALO RE-CABLE THREAD

Go here: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f70/ul...ml#post3867027

I have found some excellent amp synergy in the DarkVoice 336i with certain tubes, and NOW I have the PERFECT opamp selection for the iBasso D1. These ALO re-cabled HFI780 are simply stunning now, at 123 hours

My job is done


(okay, well, I'll have these till Friday or Monday, and will keep reporting every 24 hours on the progress, but searching for the right amp/tube/opamps is just about over (still playing with iBasso DAC opamp tomorrow).

Sounds quite likely!!!

I hope I'm able to find out for myself quite soon. If I can, I'll let you know.

595s are the only big Sennheisers that I think will work well with an iPod. 600/650 have too high an impedence. Was on max volume most of the time, which I'm sure is not good for iPod or the phones. So if 595 are better then may get these for home use, as the 780s are really for times when I don't want any sound leakage either in or out of the phones.

Why don't Apple produce an audiophile iPod with a truly awesome high end output stage?
