A bit curious...should I keep the 580s?

Hey guys, so I just recently purchased the HFI-580s, and as they are wonderful headphones I do have a return policy, the the S-Technology is a bit....weird. I was wondering if I should wait around and try to pick up a deal on the Denon AHD2000s, or maybe go with one of the Sony XBs with a new amp. What do you think?

Wait on a deal (used resale) of a D2000.


Get a Panasonic HTF600 to hold you over.

 

Very best,

Agree with above. I have quite a few headphones and IEM's and I keep reaching for the 2k's.

S-Logic can take some getting used to because it does sound different than other headphones.  Some people have a harder time adapting than others, but I'd say give them some more listening time before you pass final judgment.

If you can afford the Denon D2000, go for it. You could use the HFI 580 for portable devices like I do with my M50. Who knows, maybe you do get used to them and start liking the s-logic.

Just as a note, the Ultrasones take a little getting used to even just model to model.  After being used to the HFI-780, after I first got my Pro 900s the soundstage was substantially larger and threw me for a loop at first, as the sound seemed too indirect.  But after getting accustomed to the difference now I A/B them and definitely prefer the 900s.  So the adjustment period may be even larger going from another company to Ultrasone.
