Sorry if I didnt make myself clear. Is there any site selling it lower than 130 dollars? Amazon and eBay both have them at that price.


 

Best price I could find is on Amazon at $130 (new) and that's with no tax and free shipping.
Amazon does have them used for a cheaper price, but have a shipping charge.

^ That GHCA even has a USB input to hold you over on a DAC for awhile at least.

Ultrasone HFI-780 @ $160. Last night, it was $192. Sale perhaps?

That's a pretty good deal! I have read they are **** near on par with the Pro 900's, that's decent for about 150 less.

They are way not on par with the PRO 900! I just switched recently and even unamped the 900 is two classes above the 780!

Soundstage is closer with the 900, but separation is way better.
The 780 sounds much more metallic, the 900 has warmer mids.
The 900 has way more bass and more punch.
Overall clarity is much better with the 900.
Comfort is a huge improvement with the 900.

The presentation of the 900 is actually closer to the 580 than 780, just three classes above. :wink:

I guess it just depends who you ask, I doubt the difference is that significant.

Thought I'd tell everyone a very good deal on the Sennheiser x Adidas HD25 headphones. I found them at http://electronics-expo.com  for $187.18 + shipping (7.99) if used with their facebook promo code for home audio sale: "FBAUDIO20". You save around 25%. I'm pretty sure thats the best deal out there.


That is the best I've seen the adidas ones, however there is the disclaimer that the $187 priced ones have been opened, but unused. Granted the item is coming from Electronics Expo which I would assume is a trustworthy source. The fact that they are opened is probably why they are so much cheaper.

The HD25's are a great set of headphones. Sadly, mine are not Adidas version.
