I'm so torn. I was about to pull the trigger on some Sennheiser HD 650's several weeks ago and I hesitated because of the rumors surrounding what Sennheiser was going to do at the CES. Then I started to read about the ALO Modified Ultrasone HFI-780's. Now I don't know whether to get Sennheiser HD 650's with Ken's 18G JenaLabs Cryo headphone cable or the ALO Modified Ultrasone HFI-780's with the 18G JenaLabs Cryo cable? I don't want to get both. Any advice from you headphone fanatics would be sincerely appreciated...thanks

If you have the Cryo cabled Edition 9 now, and just need a great "knock-around" closed headphone that sounds similar, and without buying another Edition 9, then you have your answer.

Boy, that's a tough one. You really do need both.

The HD650 with JL cable to get respect here on head-fi, and the JL cabled 780 for everything else.


Just kidding, since I just picked up some balanced HD650's...

My ALO-780s are starting to become untouchable for Power Metal, last night I listened the new Epica album to see how the 780s would handle the fast almost Black Metal parts and again they didn't disappoint me, almost all the headphones that I have tried so far with this album have failed during the fast parts except the 780s

Cheers

Sounds like another happy customer for ALOaudio and Ken's work.

Oh yeah?!?!

Well my ALO 780 can stop a runaway car before it hits a group of school children crossing the street!

AAAHHHHH! -- I couldn't stand it any more -- all you peeps liking your ALO-780's finally broke my resistance!

My stock 780 just now sounded so good, checking to see how the burn-in was going, that I also just now ordered the Jena cryo 780...

My wallet hates ALL of you -- but you're still my friends, in spite of what my wallet says (it's saying some mean stuff right now, between sobs...so pathetic...)

Are you getting a completely new alo mod or are you having your stock version modded? Curiious to see if you will be able to compare the 2 as I did

Welcome to the mod squad! hehehe hmmm did I say that? sounds catchy huh ...

I'm still keeping the stock 780 for now.

I bought the $595 Jena cryo 780 package that includes new 780's.

After the stock and ALO's both complete burn-in, the loser will go to the FS forum here....

Or, maybe I'll just keep both. Will decide later.

I might be interested in either of them when you have a loser. The JL ones for a friend, or the stock ones for my son. Did you do a 1/4" jack with the JL, and what length did you use?
