Thanks guys. Each of your responses really helped!

I've been really wanting to know this for a while now so I may properly review some headphones on my time being on HeadFi...   I just want to indicate that I am new to all this audiophile stuff and this is definitely a stupid question, but...   what are lows/mids/highs of audio? How do I...

For a guy with barely any money, it sure the heck is.    Quote:   I've tried the XB700s before and the clarity was pretty good. If the 500s are comparable, I will think more about buying them. Of course, I won't expect them to be as good as my 780s.     Quote:

I am kind of having a hard time deciding of whether I should get a pair of XB500s. I recently bought a pair of HFI 780s and I love them for trance music, but I also want to have something more portable and fun to use. At that point, I looked back to the XB series. I thought about getting the...

Personally, I recommend the Ultrasone HFI 780s or the HFI Series. Great closed back headphones. They might be a bit over your budget though.   http://www.amazon.com/Ultrasone-HFI-780-Surround-Professional-Headphones/dp/B00101XVH2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1304040626&sr=8-1  ...

lol I have the Hesh.    Those cans aren't that bad.

Ultrasone HFI 780  

Around 80 - 85%.   I don't feel safe...

I'm pretty sure somewhere out there, I can get a nice chrome replica for 150 tops.

Thanks everyone for the responses!   Well I just got them in. I really do appreciate the build quality of these things. I find the ear cups to be pretty soft and they are comfortable. Only problem I see is the small top padding that rests on the top of your head. I find it a bit stiff for my...

Quote:   I'll admit as well, I don't think the Studios are horrific as people say. They aren't that bad.   Also for the Pros, I do love the durability / construction and it has great sound.   But why do I still hate them? The price.

Quote: Comfort seemed to be the biggest negative on these headphones. I don't think it could get any worse than these $15 Skullcandies I had used before though.

Thanks! 

Thanks!   I heard a lot of good things about them. Curious to see how they would sound like with some electronic music since I heard Ultrasones were made for that genre.   Is yours modded in any way?

Where are all my fellow trance listeners at? Just curious of how many are there around these forums.   Please share your favorite producer and trance song of all time.   Favorite Producer: Above & Beyond Favorite Song: ReOrder ft. Stine Grove - Biscay Bay (ReOrder Deep Mix)      ...

Hello all.   I was wondering, how's the 780 for those who own it? I am getting my pair in tomorrow so I'm just curious .   And I don't see a lot talk here about these cans either...

There are new open box 780s for sale on Ebay for 180, the last time I checked.

My first recommendation would be the XB series from Sony.   But if you really need the looks... Get the VModa Crossfades.

lol

I do not hate him of his vocal talents and dancing skills, but I hate him due to the fact that he was the one that was chosen out of every, single internet singer that I know of that happens to have a lot more talent.   But, it doesn't bother me enitrely. All I listen is to is trance.

Hello!   I am looking for a good pair of earphones as an upgrade to my $5 pair of Panasonic earphones. I figured that I would need to find something with even more quality sound.   I have been looking around for some earphones, but I am having trouble of finding which one is better than...
