This image has to much incandescent light reflection so it made the chrome earcup look yellow.

there's no denying they are a good lookin pair of phones. How is the comfort level?

I have no issues with their comfort but out of the box the Ultrasone headphones normally have a tight grip on your head if your head is as large as mine.

You know, through the anti-helix ant stuff. This ensures that the sound comes in as natural as possible for a headphone. Thode weird shapes in your ear amplify and influence the different frequencies. So your ear shapes the music for you. As it would in a natural situation. So I notice this very clearly. It sounds much 'easier' than any other headphone. Though in my opinion it doesn't sound any more spacier. There's a perfectly logical explenation for that too, but no time to explain this right now.. and yes, I too would advise to try the PL750 first, or maybe the HFI2200. greetz

i can't WAIT to get my 2200's!

Nice photos, what are the 780s resting on there?

It certainly looks mini-esque, but I'm not seeing the optical drive slot. I've got a new mini myself, which is what got me curious...

That is my Dell XPS 210 computer. It is white and my Beresford and Yamamot HA-02 set right beside it.

I was planning on getting another UE9 but with the 780 sounding much the same I decided to put that money into a couple of other toys. One will be to replace the Beresford with a second Lavry. I am also looking real hard at that Klipsch Model 3 if they can ever get their site updated.

How would the 780s sound without an amp? I know they have a fairly low impedance, but will they still sound muddy unamped?
