I got my s:flo2 on Feburary and I'm very happy how it sounds . After using it for 1 month , I'm really frustrated with its UI, quite sluggish, perhaps I already get used to Desire HD UI. Finally I went back to Desire HD for music listening , but it drains a lot of battery !   So I need...

haloxt , are you saying M50s bass is better than Pro 900 ?  Would you mind elaborate in detail ?

^ How 's the stock 780s perform compare to stock Pro 900 ? not recabled 780s .

Closed headphones in your list are weak in soundstage , while the opened headphones are weak in bass. It's up to you , whether prefer soundstage and strong bass .Unless you can top up your budget to get DT990 , which are opened headphone , good soundstage and bass.I suggest you to get the M50 ...

Quote: hey , you owns HFI 580 and M50 ? Can you compare them in bass , comfortness , fun ....I need to get one for pop, trance , electronic , and I love BASS !!!!! thanks

If you looking for low budget mids oriented headphones  , I suggest you the SRH840 .

You can improve their performance if you can get amp for them . More controlled bass , better mids .

The best solution is , try both of them and get the one you like.  Isn't that easy ? rather than keep asking for opinions =)

With my budget right now ,  I can get Audinst Mx1 . Or Dr.dac2 ,but need to get part time job =(  , Dr.dac2 is double the price of Mx1.

Quote: yes . I let it pre-clamp on a box which is slightly smaller than my head for 2 days . The clamp force did loosen, now its is quite comfortable to use. I wont wear 840s outside , it is very HUGE ! I prefer to stay low than drawing public attention  

I thinking to get  Ultrasone Pro 900 soon , but I've heard some said it doesn't need amp , some said it need amp and cable upgrade . My source is laptop + Asus XOnar U1 . Thanks for reply.

That's why I am getting Pro 900 for another purpose . M50 and SRH840 have their own pros and cons , both serve different purposes . hmm , why don't you drop a visit to the guitar center ?

I've heard both , I owned a SRH840 for 2 weeks and heard  the M50 in guitar center.   IMHO SRH840 - quite heavy , but acceptable - ear pads are bigger than M50 , more comfortable - very good mids , good for vocal and acoustic ! - very good soundstage despite being a closed...

Does Pro 2500 have S-logis Plus too ? Their spec couldn't be found in Ultrasone web site.

Pro 900 is easily driven right ?

thinking to get Ultrasone too , how about Pro 900 ? They have the S logic plus as  HFI 780 and HFi 580. I'm listen to the same genres you mentioned =) , but will be needing them for movies too .

bump .

I got srh840 for 2 weeks right now , and today I went to listen M50 ...M50 bass really much better than srh 840 ! it was SO FUN to listen to , it did rumble my head ! while SRh840 have neutral sufficient bass  .. but vocal and soundstage is better on Srh840 . probably I will get M50 for techno...

But I heard they have bloated bass ? it is huge , impact , but not controlled ... I think Cephei need to try them out first , to make the safest bet =) ...

M50 is the only can that can be folded , so it is much more convenient to bring it around , especially bringing it to college everyday . If you bring A700 or D1000 , you may need to hang them on somewhere as they cant be folded .SRH840 can be folded but it is very big , bigger than M50 . So it...

oh , I thought AD700 , my bad ... A700 is the most comfortable but it is the biggest can among those cans you've mentioned.I think 'professional' is a gimmick added by seller .M50 has both straight and coiled cable options, sound quality is the same . M50s , 's' means straight cable. My Srh840...

they're  bit clampy for some people , but you always  can let them stretch out over several books/pillow, no mods are required .. AD700 aren't portable because they are very big cans , I suggest you do a google search for their images . You will definitely attract lots of attention if you're...

You can read the reviews of ESW9 here , Hfi 780 are more suitable for you as they are more aggresive, IMO . ESW9 are warmer , they couldn't play fast-paced music well .But HFI 780 S-logic sound is quite unique , you'll either like it , or hate it . For HFi 780 comfort issue , you can get the...

AD700 are out because they aren't portable . I've read some reviews of D1001k that they have bloated bass , you can google for more reviews ... The mid and vocal are better on Es7 (good for Jpop , most of the ATH are made for Jpop ,especially female vocal, IMO) , while Hfi780 have more bass to...
