Im interested in getting a pair of Ultrasones to try out and see if I like them, basically what I need is they must be less than 180 and Ill be buying used.

and it must sound great without an amp, I also dont care if theyre closed or open.

Basically I want to use them with my Digital Piano, Ipod, and Laptop for movies and music

Thanks any point in the right direction is apperciated

you should really audition stuff from this company before buying IMO.

Try the Hfi780. I think there are a few on the FS forums

I just picked up a pair of HFI-2200's from the FS forum for cheap and i think they sound quite nice unamped. But they really do sing when they have some power behind em

There's a promotion on the Ultrasone website, $150 for the HFI-680 and free shipping. They're more sensitive than the 780 and definitely much more sensitive than the HFI-2200, people have said the 780 should be amped and I know the HFI-2200 sounds lethargic and weak straight out of an mp3 player. I'd say 680 or the new Zino is your best bet.

Thanks so the HFi680 sounds better unamped compared to the 780? And does anyone have any comments on the HFI700, have you compared it to the 680.

I did that but its still at 250 maybe there is glitch right now?

I think the promotion must've ended today. Email them right now and sound very angry and see if they'll still give it to you.

Would you mind elaborating? I'm not an Ultrasone booster looking to pick a fight, I just want to know your thoughts. Thanks.

 

[Kawai_man]

Ill email them tomorrow, I would still like to hear others opinions on which would be best for me since Im not yet set or convinced on buying these yet. thanks

 

[Kawai_man]

So Ive narrowed it down to 4 possible candiadates the HFI680(if i can get them for 150) HFI550(I can get them for 95) or HFI700( Can get them for 130) and finally HFI2200 ( around 100)

Does anyone have any comments on which would be best for my needs listed above?


btw: If anyone has on of these models theyre willing to sell pm me, I also have a set Sennheiser HD555s. with box I could trade or pm me if you want to buy them from me
