Got the XBR-500's.  Awesome bass and vibration.  Comfy.  They're certainly not as solid as the beyer's, but I dont plan on falling down a flights of stairs with them.  I visited my Mom's house and she decided to wash my clothes for me.  How kind!  Except that she didn't check the pockets and...

Awesome. Thank you.

Are the sonyXB1000's supposed to be better than the XB500's?  In the Konig thread that was just linked, someone reviewed the XB1000's and said they were a disappointment in the bass department.   Also, I am weary of those new konig phones.  The ONE guy recommending them is already sending them...

So far there is only one guy that has these?  And there isn't ONE review within the first TWO pages of a google search for reviews. I'm skeptical.

Quote: YES!  Its great.  I STILL want more bass tho.  SEriously. From the way people were talking about it, I thought the phones were really going to shake.  The sones do, but only so much.

Yes I'm going to sell one.  Right now, my friend is burning in the sones.  I'm burning in the beyers.  We're going to check back in at the end of the month and see what each other wants.  If we both want the same one, maybe I'll get send back one, and get another.

Dangit.  I thought I posted again.  I guess my computer did freeze up.  So, here's what I think so far.   Everything is pretty much as expected.   The ultrasones have more punch, but less clear bass.  They have more sub bass than I think people said they would.  The highs are pretty...

Quote: I have always heard good things about AKG, but they were not brought up very much when discussing trance and dubstep.  Thoughts?  Also, I really wish there was a music store in my town that had a really good selection of headphones to try out. Maybe there is, and I just dont know...

Quote: Honestly, so far, I'm having a hard time deciding.  On sound alone, the ultrasones are winning.  I haven't had a chance to fully test all of their functions, including with their amp, but here's what I found so far.  (It's pretty much what everyone else has been saying)   the...

Quote: Boewi and Danny have correctly identified the problem I was having with the amp.  I was charging it at the time.  Good call on the ultrasone stretching also.  I think I'll do that. Quote: Thank you for the amp tip.  Also, what is this blue tac mod.  I with that the velour pads...

Yo peeps.  I''ve received both the ultrasone 580's and the beyer 770s. I've only opened the beyers so far (boy are they more comfortable than the sones).  I was going to try out the sones today with the fiio11 amp, but it didn't do anything on my computer.  Is this only for ipod's and stuff...

ok y'all.  First of all, you are super awesome and thank you for all the input.  In my 6 hour study of nice headphones for trance and dubstep, I have seen mostly hfi580's, beyer 770's, and sometimes denons.  (ATHm50's, Some Senn's, and others have honorable mention.)  Here is what I gather.   ...

Quote: If this is true, then I am definitely getting the hfi580's.

Quote: Wow. Thank you for the rather informative post.  I have a few things to say.   -Have you compared beyer's to the hfi580's?  Thoughts? -I know that the beyers have more sub bass, which I def want, but if sub bass something I can get with an amp on the 580's?  I've read that you...

Quote: I'm definitely going to send it back.  I guess I'm going with the ultrasone hfi580's over the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO-80 and the  Sennheiser HD25-1 II.  (even though I am really tempted to get the HD25's, cause the HFI580's are $130, but I can prob get the HD 25's for $140 when they...
