February 16, 2009 by Phil Tolhurst
Did somebody mention a recession? Well the German techs at Ultrasone obviously don’t think there is one.
Checking out what’s new on the web today and I’ve found out that they’ve just announced that they are releasing there new headphones, the Edition 8s, for the princely sum of $1499.00 now I am not sure what that’ll mean they will cost in the UK but I doubt you’ll get much change from £1500.00.
Utilising technology called S-Logic Plus, which, as the Ultrasone press release puts it, offers an “impartial acoustic feeling that allows the listener even more of a spacious tonal perception”, uses Ethiopian sheepskin covering oiver the interior of the ear cups and covers the the outer ones in Ruthenium, whatever that is?
Here are some other, more basic features of these headphones: 30 Ohm impedance, 40 mm driver size (plated with Titanium), NdFeB magnet, 6 to 42.000 Hz frequency range, 6 db SPL, 260g weight, 1.2m USC cord length, 4m USC extension cable length, ULE technology. Oh, and the 3.5/6.3mm adapter is gold plated, as well as the 3.5mm plugs.
According to the Ultrasone website:
“DJs know what they want. We know, because we´ve asked them.
Comfort and utility, massive-clear sound, genuine beats, strong
output, house-tested durability, cutting-edge technology,
distinguished appearance. And they´ve told us these elements
converge seamlessly in Ultrasone´s DJ range.
So check the details and prepare to unleash the power of musical
truth with headphones developed specifically for the cause!”
