So what's the word on the new Ultrasone HFI-780???? - Page 46

I talked with Ultrasone again and they really worked at styling the 780 after the Ed 9 though it appears the highs were a bit off but who know with 1000 hours of burn-in.

if you talk to them again, can you ask about the 580 model and how it differs from the 780 in sound? That would be a big help since there is currently no information about them here on headfi

I have not experienced the high frequency hiss that others reported. Then again, I do have tinnitus.

That is great. I have ordered a pair and should have them by Tues.

How is the depth playing out with the 780's? That was also a concern as I do enjoy width and depth to the musical presentation and I get this with the Proline 750's.

Just asking but do most people get them at RMC Audio, correct?

People seem to get them for $200, but I can't find anyplace at that price, that will ship to Canada... I cheapest place i found it with shipping to Canada is $250 + shipping.

Email rmcaudio to get there price. The price they are selling at is not posted on there website So you send them a email and get there current price.

I read a few comparisons of the 780's to the PROline 2500's and personally I am really interested in the 780's. However, I just modded my 2500's with some pointers from Fitz and it really toned down the over-powering mids/treble. Now they still have plenty of tight bass, but they are not as harsh on my ears.

I am waiting for Fitz's permission before I post how the mod is done though. The good thing about it is that it is completely reversible.

overpowering mids on the 2500??? the 780s are supposed to have even more upfront mids

Ya, but they don't ship to Canada...

Is there a place that ships to Canada with a $200 price?

Well this is another file to test the soundstage depth

How you can see, it is in Dolby Digital. At the end of the Trailer a sound appear deeper from the front.
how far is that sound...?

this can seems to have acheived fotm status. as such when a bunch of people buy them some will either not like them or will want to move on to the next thing several wks/months down the line. so far i'm only aware of one that went up for sale on the forum, but with some patience you will see others show up and some folks might be willing to ship to canada. if you're impatient you might have to pay somewhat more .

LOL ya... i think it has... kinda like the D2000s, but I guess i can wait, but I still deciding between the Ultrasone HFI-780, Sleek SA6 or the iBasso D2

.

Well, FOTM or not, while I may prefer my re-cabled 780 (see the ALO thread for my comments) I can still enjoy my D2000 and Proline 2500, just like I'll enjoy the next FOTM.

The FOTM was the RP-21 and while I did enjoy them after having the 750's for some time and having the transducer go out of the left on my 750 yesterday, has made me realize how much the RP-21 do not sound near as good as I thought they did or I have gotten used to the 750's and a much different and to me better sound. I think the RP-21 were a FOTM but they aren't so much my flavor any longer.
