ultrasone 780 vs ultrasone 900

See my sig for a review.

In short though

Pro 900

-bigger soundstage

-bigger bass/more bass/more impact

-more detailed

-more laid back

-warmer sound

-more body

-IMO boring sound sig in comparison to the 780s

780

-punchier bass

-more upfront (exciting?) sound sig

-thinner sounding

-more energy

I still like recabled 780s over the 900s which I Kees' modded and then sold.

^ How 's the stock 780s perform compare to stock Pro 900 ? not recabled 780s .

u say 900 have more impact but 780 more punch , in my language punch and impact say the same :P

^well..that would confuse you haha. By punch, I mean the impact and sound you will feel/hear is in quicker, shorter bursts which result in a more exciting sound. The Pro 900s have a louder, bigger bass which does hit harder, but it is not as quick. It sound more fluid and warmer.

Stock for stock, I still like the 780s more. 

Technically, the 900s are a better headphone due to their improved detail and bigger sound stage. However, they lack the excitement of the 780s and I felt the 780s weren't far behind the 900s in detail at all. The soundstage is of the 900s is noticeably bigger, but again, this wasn't a deal breaker for me. After listening to both (stock 780 and Kees' mod 900) for about 10 mins each, it was easy choosing which one to keep.

@bassfreak1993 do you amp your phones? that makes a huge difference on low-end spectrum for me, though i use HD 25s with twice the resistance than yout hifi-780s. but i would guess, a good amp brings you a dnb solid sound.

Like them both, 780 is more exciting, 900 is more neutral reference like. Electronic, rap, pop -> 780,   Piano, Classical, Acoustic, Jazz etc -> 900

Though I still prefer 2400's over both. (which is more expensive than 780, but cheaper than the 900).
