How often do these things break for you guys? I use mine almost every single day with the phones hooked up to my phone that's in my pocket. I do my biking, skateboarding, running with them and they last me usually less than a year, maybe 7-10 months. It always breaks at the same spot (the...

Sorry for ultra late replies, I have not logged in forever. Just thought I'd still share my thoughts either way. Quote: I only use the Xonar STX for my output device. Sources are flacs or mp3s. I only tried this some time ago and it is quite true just how much bass the HFI can output...

Okay disclaimer: audiophile nooblet reporting in. I always want a better sound but I don't have money to support the dream of owning something worth a lot of money so I don't really have much experience, yet at least. I spend so much time listening to my favourite music, that I understand you...

I wanted to make a comment about my 580's on my old thread but I keep getting error report every time I try to access it when logged in. Logging out and going to the thread works, but not when logged in.. same happens with some other threads I've posted in like "beats by dre".   This is the...

Oh my god, this barney mod is amazing!

Quote:   Oh come on, who, in this day and age, can still say electronic music isn't music? I thought we were past that. Open mindedness is overrated, right? Oh well, ignorance is bliss, I suppose.

  Quote: Well, the odd bass can definitely be answered with the fact what my old headphones were. They did weight, a lot, there was not much room for ears and they were very clampy along with those vinyl pads. So simply put, you could feel the bass more, as instead on these headphones...

Quote: My bad. I did a quick google and I saw 350 for 2000 and 550 for the 5000   Thing is, my music is this 90% www youtube com/watch?v=J44sBhhJnog   atm it feels like the phones are too bright(8k and up, hi-hats..), but what the heck, I've only burned them for about 9 hours...

Quote: Uh, you are comparing the headphones to one's that cost twice (and over) as much..

So I received my HFI 580 and out of the box they sounded like I expected, odd treble and even odder bass. But what struck me as even more odd, I don't get the clamping at all! I come from Koss Pro4AAT(Just google it) and even with glasses these things are so much more comfortable, it's not even...

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I decided to go for the 580 because of the price difference. Though, I didn't get the pads along with it but if I really do need them I'll probably get em later.

Anyone have a take on the velour pads?

Looks like I'm gonna get the HFI-580 then. Thanks for the replies.   One more thing though, would it be a good choice to get the beyer DT250 velour pads(14.60€) along with it? Is it easy to switch between the pads? I wear glasses and going by most hfi-780 threads people are saying they...

Bamp before bed, hope to get some replies, because I'm most probably going to order one these on the 24th.

So a while back I needed new headphones as my old one's were broken (Koss Pro4AAT) but I managed to get them fixed for free and kept on using them. Now I'm finally able to afford new one's and been researching a lot and it looks like I'm having a battle with the HFI-580 vs HFI-780. Problem...

Actually those phones are out of my budget as they reach 200e..

Bump, I really do need new cans pretty fast, so if you really do have some suggestions, please throw them in! And ignore post #10, I would edit it but apparently I can't because of the moderating(and I can edit every other post I made, go figure.).

OMG, I understand the concept of moderating posts by newbies with links but if you don't actually moderate them, it's the worst idea ever!!! Ahem now that's out of the way I have to retype everything.. god..       I was also reading the Bass Impact thread and got a little worried would...

First of all, thanks everyone so far for replying!   Now then I'm kind of torn here with a few. I also stumbled upon this thread since I do enjoy good bass(The koss one's really did have great bass if properly amped). ULTRASONE HFI-580 Audio Technica ATH-M50 DT990 Koss Pro4 AAT, why...

  Quote: Nah, I don't listen to rock almost at all. Maybe an occasional youtube link someone throws my way, but that's it. I like if they don't bleed too much, if I listen at night and have window open, so that the sounds don't reach outside. Also I enjoy not hearing the pc over games. Is...

Hello everyone! I've been previously using Koss Pro 4 AAT headphones(my first real headphones they were like 70e-80e) and I personally found them great, very good bass and the highs didn't hurt ear or anything. They also cancelled noise well, though I couldn't wear glasses with them.. They...
