OMG, gentleman and ladies. I just paid 99$ for a pair of HFI-450 Ultrasones, and have not heard better sound from headphones in not many others. I went to GC today looking for some headphones after being told that SA does not carry many different types of headphones and I couldn't use my own music for the checking of them. So, went to GC. The salesman Chris went and grabbed the Sennheiser HD220's which my friend has and I listened to them last night and was very impressed by their sound. Well he also pulled down a set of $200 Beyerdynamic DT 770 which he thought and said were some of the best headphones around. Well I wanted to try some Ultrasones and hear what all the fuss was about. The HFI-450's were all they had.
So I went and plugged the Ultrasones into my ipod and put on Guy J's new album. Listening to it really brought out the low end of the sound WAY better than my Sony V-700's EVER did. And the highs were crisp and clean, and these cans are very comfortable with the earpieces easily moveable around your head to be able to work with all kinds of different head types.
So I changed to the 770's and immediately had to turn up the ipod as the sound wasn't as loud. Well the bass was very nice but it was missing in the mid and high range. Not as crisp and clean as the 450's. Well after a few minutes of switching back and forth with the 770's and the 450's, I finally decided that the sound was fuller and more defined in the 450's, so I bought them, and being $100 cheaper...you really do get more for your money.

Very Highly reccommended. You don't need $200-300 headphones to get really REALLY good sound in a headphone.
