Ultrasone-Edition-9s-Headphones
There are headphones and then there are headphones! I am not really sure where the new Ultrasone Edition 9s headphones fit but with a 1500 US$ price tag, I’m guessing the second category! So what does it have to offer us to justify this exorbitant price tag? Well read on!
These high-end headphones according to Ultrasone use “finest titanium plated drivers†for unrivaled sound performance which promise to leave the audiophiles stunned (I am sure the price tag also adds to the stunned part!). It is capable of reducing pressure sound pressure levels to almost 40% via the S-Logic™ technology which makes for more top-notch natural surround sound effect. The headphones also have been given a very sophisticated design and the company has incorporated black chrome in both the ear cups and nameplates, Ethiopian sheep leather in ear pads and headband pad and a metal attaché case is also included. These Limited Edition headphones will be available soon and for more info visit www.ultrasoneusa.com.
