I will make a quick tutorial in a new thread and then I will post it up here in case some people are still confused on how to braid the cable.

Okay, thank you because I tried doing it with a shoelace, and couldn't figure it out correctly.

I upgraded from SRH440 to hfi 580 and have written a review on it (did you possibly read by chance?) both are good at their own things. the Shure's just aren't 100% good with mainstream music with them being too analytical and not as colored sounding as i would like them to be. the Ultrasone's were perfect i'm pairing with E17
 
Any questions on Shure or Ultrasone? If you did read my review, any comments on how it was and if i should iprove or clarify anything? amps? DAC's?

Could you please post the review. Sorry I'm in my iPhone

it's the first review to show up ....if you type ultrasone hfi 580 review or anything close to that. There are also other good ones out there. i recommend reading all of them

That braiding looks good and the guide would be very helpful. However, I can't help thinking that it will still be bulky and heavy though as the amount of cable hasn't changed despite being a more manageable length. Also, it badly needs a right-angled jack.

Hmm I might have to go with the dj1 now. Replaceable cord with the same system as the 580.

Would you guys recommend the dj1 pros?

 

[shamrock134]

The DJ1 doesn't have a replaceable cable, it's just coiled instead of straight. The DJ1 Pro is totally different headphone which is identical to the Pro550 except for aesthetics. It does have replaceable cables like the rest of the PRO line.

+1 to this comment. DJ1 is not removable or replaceable as said. it is also $40 more. if it had a case like the pro i could justify it. but it doesn't have a carrying case.

Damn wish they all came with short cords.

Would there be a superior headphone under $150. I guess I'll just braid the cord.

i don't have them but the audio technica pro 700mk2 are also popular. don't know too much about them you could go and give them a look if you want.

Sorry, been busy with spending hours trying to figure out playlists on this stupid Clip+

Still can't figure it out.

I'll have a pretty good explanation/short clip on how to braid the cable within the next 3 hours.

Got the E17...gotta say.
E17 + Lossless CD ripped tracks + USB,Optical,Aux(i used all 3) in + Ultrasone HFI 580 = Amazing!
 
in caes the OP or anyone wanted to know. the EQ just takes it to a diff level. 6dB Gain is all you need. you will blow your ears off on 12dB gain. the HFI 580 is a easy to drive (greater than 100dB sensitivity) at 32 Ohms. the E17 pushes 215mW at this impendance. be careful!
Comparisson:ipod and iphone's push 15mW @ 16 Ohms .........and who knows..~10mW @ 32 ohms
