    Looking for suggestions... $500 budget, closed back basshead phones, mangi+modi

    I'm thinking about a new pair of phones. Let me start off with that I have a pair of Ultrasone HFI-780's that I am pretty happy with, though I'd like to upgrade from them. I really do like these phones and I am hesitant to buy anything else because I'm not sure the money is worth the reward. I'd...

    If You Had $1500 What Amp/DAC + Headphone Would You Buy?

    Hello,   Here's where I am at presently..   I use my comp with an optical out with FLAC's as a source. For an amp I use a D10. For phones I use HFI-780's or ATH-AD-700's. I listen to mostly metal/industrial. I bounce around a bit with genre's. I like the sound of the HFI's, however after...

    Need advice... ATH-AD700's + HFI-780's = ?

    I own both these phones.   To cut to the chase... The ATH-AD700's, there are 2 things which prevent me from using these phones as my "listening to music" phones. First, the bass on these phones is weak. Second, these phones suffer from dynamic compression... further diminishing their bass...

    Ultrasone HFI-780 Appreciation Thread

    You GD slackasses. I can't believe I am starting this, either that or I am just a complete jackass and praising a headphone which sounds good to me me on a wide variety of recordings and just too dumb to know better. Easy to drive, closed, sounds great for the price. I like 'em.

    Whats wrong with this picture?

    Sorry for the dramatic intro, but that's how I felt tonight and I am curious as to what is wrong. Here's the deal... I have a pair of ultrasones 780's and a pair of ath ad-700's. From the same source I noticed something which basically makes my ath-ad700's very un-listenable. During...

    I love my ATH-AD700's, but..

    First off, I love these headphones... they sound great. My only complaint... as I feel others have commented on, they are a bit weak when it comes to bass. This is by no means to turn anyone off to these phones. Their merits far surpass my gripes. I, like many of you ridiculous people...

    comfort and sound < 200... the cheaper, the... hmm

    Hello, I was looking for a new pair of headphones which are EXTREMELY comfortable and sound nice. I was thinking something along the lines of DT-770's, but I would prefer an open air phone... closed phones tend to get a lil too hot for comfort. I'd rather have something which breathes...
