I just ordered my pair and I'm reading mixed reviews about the comfort of the Ultra's. There's several reports on Amazon about it being too tight on the jaws and reading through these posts, it seems that it may have been justified. I myself wear glasses and am a bit worried on the pressure... Does anyone have any input on the tightness/comfort of the headphones?

I've had mine for two months now, and I absolutely love them!  Definitely recommend them.

They clamp hard for the first few days, but they loosen after a week. Don't try to excessively weaken the clamp with bending- what clamp you have left is necessary for isolation and proper fit.

Is there any HFI-580 fans who found a pair of IEMs that has a soundstage like the HFI-580? I got a pair of DJ-1 which from what i understand is the same as the HFI-580 and i would love to have  apair of good isolated IEMs that sound the same:p

I just bought a pair from overstock for 139.99 plus 4% cash back and I can't wait to get my hands on them :) Chose these over the m50's and I just returned my Monster Turbines because they sucked (right side defective as well).. can't wait I'm sure these headphones are decent enough to keep me satisfied. I wonder how they are for gaming.

I have MTPG. They are MUCH warmer than the HFI 580. They have powerful bass of course and the highs are very detailed. They can be EQed to sound similar with my Cowon. I'm not so sure about the regular Turbines though.



I got a Cowon S9, but MTPG is a bit to expensive for me i don't think im willing to reach over 150euro.
