100+ Head-Fier
My hfi 580 take up most of the time on my head.
I am on a pair of fostex tr50p and these sound so different it is night and day...i am impressed with this ortho stuff sounds so classical and it is like your there not far from my ideal headphone.
Actually, you now something i'd absolutely love...
A hard protection case for these headphones.
They're very limiting to carry round, because they're pretty prone to damage.
I'd take them around with me a lot more if I had a case to put them in, rather than just the bag.
Too bad Ultrasone made the bad marketing choice of only distributing in Germany via their website.
They have an appropriate case, from what i've seen, but will only distribute within Germany.
I've searched the internet quite thoroughly...and the Ultrasone protective case is not sold anywhere in the UK.
The only ones I found being sold online were the ones on Ultrasone's own website (which is unhelpfully in German when it comes to retail), and some random american dealer.
How are these headphones in terms of bass quanitity? Like basshead good. I got recommended the ATH-M50 from several people saying "They have so much bass!!". No, they don't. How are these in terms of quantity compared to the Phiaton MS400 or V-Moda Crossfade? I listen to a lot of hip-hop and rock.

Did you EQ/amp the M50's? I haven't heard the Phiaton's, but I've heard the V-moda's. Crossfades are hella comfy, but they've got nothing on the HFI-580's. The Crossfades also feel well built, but soundwise I just don't dig. They sound dark to me. I'm gonna pick up a pair of either XB500's/700's or M50's in the coming months to A/B with the HFI-580's.
Black cube linear amp with stagedac some expensive rca cables with musiland source.
Now that i have the hfi 580 i like the bass, i prefer the bass of these over the m50.
I can see why you say they sound like a sub woofer.

Check out Slappa Hardbody heaphone cases, they are purpose designed for DJ headphones and other cans that fold in the same fashion.
