These sound bass anemic..what the hell? I'm guessing it will change a lot with burn in (heard it takes up to 400 hours), but I thought they were supposed to be borderline bass monsters.

What's your frame of reference? Not the same cans, but I too was expecting more from the Pro750s when I got them, in retrospect though they definitely had more than enough.

 

[RichieLitt]

Well I came from Grado Sr80i, and I wanted more bass. I've heard HFI's are all over the place with burn it though, so maybe that is it.

 

[silentmeloud]

Man! They aren't bass shy
CHeck our how you wear them - maybe there is a lack of isolation. Give them some time & your brain will adapt to this bass. You can always eq them a bit for your tastes - they can handle tons of bass!!! Though my HFI-580 are not that bassy as Cresyn HP600, but their bass is great!!!

 

[RichieLitt]

I don't see how I could wear them wrong...

 

[RichieLitt]

Starting to sound completely different after a lil burn in..Sounding great now. I'm having a hard time dealing with the headband though. The cushion in the middle is so uncomfortable on the top of my head.

yeh I feel that too. Just a note is that you can change those uncomfortable pads with velour (Beyerdyanics's), its just so much more comfortable

Yes the velour pads do improve the confort but even with those installed the clamping force was too much for me and I don't have a particularly big head haha.

@OP the HFI 780 is notorious for having a roller coaster burn in route. They shouldn't be lacking in bass at all though.

IMO the HFI-780 need a good 250+ hours of burn in to settle. The velour pads are just awesome and you get rid of the pleather feel which in my case made me sweat profusely.

 

[RichieLitt]

How do you remove the pads? Mine seem pretty firmly stuck on there. And does anyone have a link to the Beyor pads? Thanks for the tips guys.

 

[mrarroyo]

The pad have a "lip" of pleather that goes inside a ridge in the plastic cup. Carefully insert a finger under the pad from the inside of the cup and gently push outward and away from the cup, go slowly around the entire cup and repeat.

i'd say the Pro - range have deeper bass than the HFI range, but burn them in first.

If it's too tight stretch the flexible middle section, the other two sections are hard plastic and will break if you try to bend those.

 

[RichieLitt]

That did help with the pressure, but that stupid bump of pleather or whatever it is in the middle of the headband still annoys me..Has anyone ever taken that out or modded the headband?
