 Sound great but not comfortable Aug 27, 2010
I received the 580s the other day and they sound great, exceptionally clear and great bass. However, as good as the sound is I just can't wear these for more than an hour. The headphones have too small an ear cup and it rubs on the lower part of my ears and I don't have big ears. Also, if you try to lay back and listen to music the weight causes the cans to slowly slide back and then require repositioning. I love the way they sound but if can't wear them for any length of time they are of no use to me. I'm going to return these and find something else.
Quality Headset Aug 09, 2010
I really like the sound quality that this headset produces. Very rich quality with bright highs and good mids but lacking a little in the bass. I have tried with all kinds of receivers and such but still the bass is lacking a little. I am not an audiophile but I do appreciate good quality bass.

 Ultrasone are the Grado of closed cans Mar 27, 2010
I'm a Grado guy thru and thru. The sound of my 325is's is delicious. Next economic bubble I can climb onboard and make a bundle I'm buying their top of the line. But needed closed cans for noisy environment listening. Bet on these and they are fantastic. So fantastic I'm going to get the Pro 750's as well.
They do need burn in, leave em hooked up to internet radio for a weekend or so and the sound will mellow and warm up. Nice clear soundstage, tight bass. Not sure what the S-Logic stuff is about, they are normal headphones. I think it's basically the same effect Grado gets by putting buttons on the grill and having earpads that demand a certain placement on the ear. Hint: don't ever 2nd guess Robert Grado. Don't do any "mods" the internet says will make them better. They won't. Grado phones are perfect at birth.
I find the following phones incredible:
Open air: Grado (always #1)
Closed: Loving Ultrasone, Sennheiser is their only competition; their phones are incredible as well. A little less meaty but airy and accurate and a pure delight, every model I've ever listened to I've loved.
In ear: Etymotic, your only choice Expensive but when you're putting something that close to your eardrums, don't cheap out.
Noise Cancelling: Audio Technica. Sennheiser sound in a way affordable package that will totally shut out the sounds of BART and the homeless guy sitting next to you and barfing. Big plus over Bose they continue to work even if the tiny AAA battery goes out. And that only happens once a year.
Ear Buds: Have to admit I like the Bose tri-ports, but they are bass heavy and take a nuclear power plant to run. Frankly, Bose could spend a little less on TV ads for clock radios and inflight magazine ads for noise-cancelling phones and a lot more on engineering and we might have some credible products there. Build quality is great, and they seem to want to be great, but the MBA's in marketing and the bean-counters obviously have veto power at that company. If you don't want to spring for the $99 bose triports, try anything else out there. It's the most popular headphone form factor available (doesn't mess up your hair) and umpteen companies do a great job on them.
Sony anything: hit or miss. Their V6 (and related) models are legendary in music mixing because they are unbelievably brutal and accurate. This is the traditional use for closed phones: putting music under the microscope. Their earbuds are hit or miss, good luck you may get nirvana, you may get fingernails on chalkboards. If I'm looking for something cheap and credible, I do look to Sony.
I've both produced music, and loved it as a listener. There is no one size fits all tool for everything, that's what makes loving recorded music endlessly fascinating. But I tell you, these Ultrasone folks are onto something, they are taking closed phones beyond their traditional 2 uses as either a scalpel or a DJ tool. They may just be the Grado of closed phones.
 Very uncomfortable Oct 20, 2009
Was not overly impressed with the sound, but it was pretty good. But the dealbreaker was the vise-like pressure these put on your head -- specifically, your jawbone. I let them sit expanded over a couch arm for three days, but still quite painful.

Ultimate Value Feb 15, 2009
Just bought two pairs of these babies as monitors for live performance. They sound incredible. Great bass, smooth highs and full mids. The sound guy at the venue guessed that I paid three times as much when he heard them. Not the biggest soundstage in the world, but they are great and very listenable. After three straight hours of listening, my ears still felt great.
