So i'm looking to get some nice headphones for christmas and my budget is around $150. I like a lot of bass and listen to a lot hip hop, rock, and dubstep. I heard the 580's are a little bassier but when I check online the 780's are cheaper despite having a higher msrp. On amazon and ebay the 780s are about $150 brand new. The cheapest I can find the 580's for is $190. How are the 780's?

The AKG K270s are the classic, big huge studio headphones. There is little doubt if you see someone in these cans, they're tracking tasty licks on a new album. Despite their size, they do tend...

I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90...

Bought these on whim, for your basic train ride to work I don't mind. But its far from being the best I have own.

First, I should note that I auditioned these both straight out of the box, without any break-in time and then later after 53 hours of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite...

A very all-round headphone for me. Just the right one to take on the go or on holiday. Also as a DJ, nice noice isolation. Very durable so you don't have to wonder if it will break if you throw...

Ultrasone hfi-580 vs 780

Heya,
780 is a little more refined than the 580. The 580 is the bassier more visceral headphone for your genres. The reason for the price difference is because Amazon and lot of places base prices not just on MSRP, but on popularity of purchase. More people buy the 580, therefore, they up the prices to bank on that, while they have too much stock on the 780, so reduce it's price to move it out. They're both great headphones. The 580 will do you well.
Very best,
