Ultrasone Headphones

Can it be possible for 2 new reference headphones to rule the top of the Hill? With the very long anticipated wait of the Sennheiser HD 800 headphones, a second reference phone has hit the street. Is there room for 2 references in my stable? I say hell yes. The new Ultrasone Edition 8 and the new Sennheiser HD 800 are very different sounding animals. The Sennheiser HD 800 is an open back design that is very transient sounding. Very punchy and extremely light on it's feet. But will require quiet surroundings to enjoy. The are extremely open to outside noise. So for headphone listening on a reference level with the ability to shelter you from the outside world, please welcome the Edition 8.

In comparing to the Edition 9, the Edition 8 has a cleaner sound with tighter transients and snap. with no increase in forwardness over the Edition 9. The Edition 9 has sometimes been complained of having sibilance to some listeners. I have never experienced this but for those of you who have I feel you will be relieved to know they have solved this issue for you. The Edition 9 has a softer sound when compared to the Edition 9. The Edition 8 has improved bass attack over the 9's I feel. The 2 phones sound very different.

The comfort to my big head has been improved over the Edition 9. The cups are smaller but now are oval for a much better seal around my ears. The phones are amazingly light due to the new aluminum headband which is a work of art. New materials have been utilized to make them extremely resistant to scratches and abuse. I can definitely see myself doing a lot of travelling with these phones.

Edition9 is a new pair of headphones with extraordinary qualities. Designed and manufactured with a maximum of attention. You are interested in a pair of headphones with the most sophisticated sound system and the most exclusive materials. Exclusive beauty and high technology at the same time. Take your time and enjoy the finesse in manufacturing and choice of materials.

The specifically created box allows you to store your Edition9 safely and convenient even for transportation. The earcups are black chrome-plated and the insignia on the earcups is made of chrome-plated brass, crafted in Bavaria. Earpads and head pad are made of soft genuine Ethiopian hair sheep leather in dark grey. This is the finest leather available with convincing attributes. This leather is so soft and smooth that you barely feel the headphones on your ears and it provides an excellent isolation. Your Edition9 is equipped with titanium-plated drivers and polished MU Metal shieldings for reduced magnetic field emissions. The set also contains a gold-plated adapter 6,3/3,5 mm. This combination of selected materials and ULTRASONE technologies presents the exceptional accurateness of your Edition9 headphones. Only manufacturers having proved their high standard and qualities by working with the most exclusive and luxurious automotive brands were chosen as suppliers for the realisation of Edition9.

Due to the great feed-back regarding the sold out “Edition7 limited” series, the Edition9 headphones have been developed to meet our customers special requests in design and sound. Edition9 is not limited and disposes of the highest quality materials and the most precise and natural sound appearance.

S-Logic™ - ULTRASONE´s
Natural Surround Sound
The patented S-Logic™ technology is described as Natural Surround Sound. No other digital surround system can compare with this new standard. As the sound of normal headphones will sound direct and even on both sides, the S-Logic™ system pushes the sound around your head! It appears as though you are listening to speakers meters away. Even at very low levels, this spacious sound allows you to hear precisely. Edition9 uses titanium-plated drivers which offer the most accurate and finest sound reproduction. And on top, the S-Logic™ technology does not require additional electronic equipment!

How does S-Logic™ work?
S-Logic™ sends music around your head not just into it, because this technology uses decentralized driver positioning. Did you know that all of us use and need the outer ear for 3-dimensional hearing to define the direction and the distance where a sound comes from? Instead of hitting the inner ear directly, with S-Logic™ the signals are reflected off the surface of the outer ear in different directions before entering the auditory canal to create a natural 3-dimensional sound. S-Logic™ is the only headphone system which includes your entire sense of hearing. S-Logic™ does not change your personal hearing. It intensifies it for your individual needs and listening pleasure. S-Logic™ does neither need artificial echo nor digital processing or cross over run time delay (like DSP). You can hear the music just the way the sound mixer produced it.

ULE technology - ULTRASONE´s
MU Metal shielding for reduced magnetic field emissions
ULE stands for Ultra Low Emission. The ULTRASONE ULE technology was systematically developed for professionals as they do spend half of their lives in headphones. Most headphone drivers convert an electric signal into an acoustical signal, producing low-frequency magnetic fields. In response, ULTRASONE developed a special MU Metal shielding (ULE technology) to reduce the radiation by up to 98% compared to current headphones. All professional ULTRASONE headphones are basically equipped with the ULE technology. Certainly your Edition9 headphones may not miss the ULE technology. The exclusiveness of your Edition9 calls for the ULE standard. This patented technology has stood the test of international review and is recommended by technical surveillance organisations.

ULTRASONE´s
concept for safer hearing
The S-Logic™ technology does not only create a Natural Surround Sound. S-Logic™ allows at the same time a lower dB output (3-4dB) for the same loudness sensation. This may reduce the risk of hearing damage while ensuring hours of fatigue-free listening. However, ULTRASONE generally advises not to listen to music at high volumes to prevent hearing damage.

Character
You prefer open-back headphones? Using the same stiff titanium-plated drivers as PRO 750, the PRO 2500 model provides due to its open-back design the most airy sound within the complete PRO line. Accuracy and the finest sound reproduction is guaranteed for everybody who does not wish a closed-back system.

ULE-technology & PRO design
PRO headphones stand for Ultra Low Emission (ULE-technology) with significant benefits for professional users and PRO headphones show a specific design. The PRO appearance does not only distinguish the professional line but also allows due to more ear anatomy area a higher degree of transparency in combination with the spatial sense and understanding.
To understand what ULE-technology does, you need to know that most headphone drivers produce low-frequency magnetic fields as they convert an electric signal into an acoustical signal you hear as music. In response, Ultrasone developed a special MU Metal shielding (ULE-technology) to reduce the radiation by up to 98% compared to current headphones. The ULE-technology has stood the test of international review and is recommended by technical surveillance organisations. Ultrasone originally developed the ULE-technology for professionals as they do spend half of their lives in headphones. But due to grand requests the ULE-technology has now been integrated in other Ultrasone headphone lines.
