Edition 8 Retail $1499

Edition 8  with 10' Silver Dragon Hardwired Headphone Cable

Edition 8 Features:

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 traveling with these phones.

Character
The PRO 650 comes in the specifically designed PRO Box including 2 detachable cables and a spare pair of ear pads. The ear pads are easy to change (speed-switch-technology). As with all Ultrasone PRO models the detachable cables make it easy to choose the cable you prefer. The closed-back PRO 650 uses high-class gold-plated drivers. In combination with the design, PRO 650 offers an spectacular open 3-dimensional balanced image with a maximum of transparency.

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 organizations. 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.

Through S-Logic™ Natural Surround, the sound moves out of your head and into the room around you. Consequently, the music is no longer confined, but breathing once again, spacious and organic. Direction and distance are more easily perceived – it’s like being at a live concert (…or in the studio). No additional equipment is necessary. So with just a pair of Ultrasones and your favorite audio device, prepare yourself for genuine 3-dimensional enjoyment!


Safer hearing
S-Logic™ does not only create a Natural Surround Sound. S-Logic™ allows at the same time a reduction of sound pressure levels by up to 40% (3-4 dB) 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.
