Was wondering if any of the metal heads in here have heard of Turisas? I didn't hear of them until they opened up for Dragonforce in my hometown. Saw them and was completely blown away. Such an epic sound, and stage presence lol. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows of bands with a similar...

Solitary Shell, then Surrounded.

Does anyone have the warranty info for Ultrasone? I found nothing on their website and all I have is a phone # that I will call tomorrow. The right ear went out on my HFI-780s and I don't have the box with documentation handy, so I'm hoping that these are covered. I got them probably 8 months...

In, since I'm the other Rose guy

Anyone done any headband mods yet? That leather "block" on the top is painful after an hour. I just ordered a HD580 pad, and am going to try and see what I can do with that.

Love my SE530s. Built a Mini^3 for it and I actually look forward to being stuck somewhere away from home with nothing to do but listen to them I chose them over the triple.fi because of comfort.

I want the hd580

30gig 5th gen iPod > DIY LOD > DIY Mini^3 > Shure SE530PTH Btw, has anyone come up with any "clean" ways of mounting and amp to it's source? I have these tabs on the back of the my iPod from the iSkin case, and I'm trying to come up with a way to make them latch onto the Mini^3 case.

Sorry for the threadjack, but I just realized I forgot C2, the tantalum cap. Is there something I can sub for it (maybe a 100uF 25V electrolytic (C5) or a 1uF 35V tant/10uF 16V tant from ratshack)?

Ultrasone HFI-780. I'm a huge metal head and these were much better than my SR-325is for metal. I fell in love with them from the first song

Question about the dampening materials: is a potential problem that the cotton could get stuck in the drivers?

Just got done watching Audition as per the recommendation of this thread. It was meh. There were 2 "disturbing" parts of the movie (won't spoil them), but I hate it when movies do the dream switch stuff. Makes me mad that I watched something that didn't really happen but actually did....

Has anyone figured out how to remove the drivers from the cups? I'm looking at mine right now and not seeing any sort of screws to remove, and I want to ask before I go prying at things

Ah, thats a good idea. I'll look for one next time I'm out.

Anyone use an after-market IEM case? I'm looking for one for my SE530s since you can barely fit the IEMs and the PTH in the provided case. I want something big enough to hold the mass amount of accessories for these things.

Quote: Originally Posted by Steve_72 Man, these are seriously tempting! How would these stack up to the HD580s or SE530s? I have the Shures and the HD600 and find the Senn's a wee bit too laid-back for my tastes, with not enough kick. Well, I JUST got my SE530's today, so I can't...
