Ultrasone HFI780 ALO Mod

IIRC, $380. Not 100% sure though. For HFI-780 anyway. Includes the recable (18awg jena labs I think) and internal mods.

You can sometimes find them pre-owned on the classified and at good prices.  I picked one up myself and saved a few hundred bucks over new.

sorry for digging up an old thread, but is anyone selling these ?
They're outdated now. I would look into more modern headphones. What's your price range?

I used to have those headphones; they were very good sounding 'cans. But the newer 'cans sound better, subjectively. I have a Beyerdynamic/AK T1p that sound better; better balance overall; the ALOs were a little bass-shy. They're around $500 used.

Bass-shy, 780s? Really? The original 780s were rather bass-heavy all-around. I don't see how they'd be comparable to open phones in any way?
When I had my ALO-780s, they were bass-shy. Maybe because the Jena-cables hadn't been broken in. What bothered me was the sibilance of these 'cans although greatly reduced with the mod but still there for me. I enjoyed watching movies with these 'cans and some light music.

Ok. That definitely sounds (ha!) like they weren't burned in at all. Sibiliance is typical for a fresh set. This thread here, just like the thread about the original Ultrasone HFI 780s, should have plenty of info (it's long though).
