Which is better in bass, sound stage, treble, vocals, highs mids low, etc. and tell me which ones you prefer please

 

[SONIC BOOM]

I would say the ultrasons are better

 

[Headphoneboi]

So why do you think its better?

 

[SONIC BOOM]

I think the ultrasons sound overall better and are more comfortable

it depends on what are you looking for... I have an SRH750dj and Ultrasone HFI680 (not the 580), the SRH750 will sound better as an all rounder headphone compared to HFI580, for a bassheavy headphone the srh750dj has an overall balanced sound and tight bass, at a slight listening session this Shure doesnt sound at all like a bassheavy cans, the HFI580 would deliver much more punch imo.
 
the mids, I dont really know about the 580, but judging by the performance of its bigger brother (680), Im guessing that the 580 would have a more transparent mids and clearer.. whereas the 750dj has well emphasized and forward sweet mids, female vocal sounds really intimate on this pair of cans. the ultrasone would have a more drawn back mids but nonetheless still sweet but not as intimate. but then again I'm only judgung by my experience on the 680 which is quite a different headphone to the 580 although they might share the similar soundsig.
 
the highs, ultrasone headphones known for its glaring highs, the srh750dj also have a pretty harsh treble, but I'd say that the ultrasone might have a better extension overall...
 
FYI, DJ1 is the HFI500, not the HFI580..

I own the SRH750, and they do not by any means have forward mids. They are recessed, it's just not a part of the music that they do well. The bass could be tighter, but if you want sub-bass they're great. The treble is also up there, well extended and not recessed. I can't compare them to the Ultrasones unfortunately.

hmmm strangely on my pair the mid is quite forward and sweet.. the female vocal sounds lush on these, or should I say upper mid emphasis? its not the most forward pf course, but compared to most of ultrasone, it is more prominent and forward in my opinion..

I like colored sound.. so do you think i will like the shures? And are ultrasones only good for electronic music or are they good for any type of music?
