Ultrasone Caters To High-End Listeners With $329 HFI-2400 Headphones
Ultrasone may not be a household name in the headphone arena, but for
those with lots of dough and a thing for pristine sound quality, we're
sure they know the label well. The company's latest high-end effort is
the open-backed HFI-2400, a member of the HFI series that is doused in
black and silver and equipped with an "airy tone."
Within, you'll find 40mm gold-plated drivers, the firm's own S-Logic technology, MU Metal shielding (which reduces the amount of magnetic radiation emitted from standard headphones up to 98%) and a removable three-meter long, straight cable with 6.3 millimeter gold-plated stereo plug. As with most luxury headphones, these also come with a velvet carrying bar and a demo CD. Ultrasone plans to ship these starting later this month for $329, which actually isn't half bad considering some of the company's other offerings.

Headphone Technology from Ultrasone
Ultrasone incorporates its own developed and patented S-Logic™ technology in all of its headphones. It presents an acutely precise sound that listeners feel as if they are in a live concert. At the same time, the sound pressure is reduced by approximately 3-4 dB providing 40% less burden and strain on the eardrum. The technology is at the heart of every Ultrasone headphone and makes sure that that the music is phonetically and spatially at the highest levels. The headphones integrate the entire pinna, or outer ear, into the hearing process the way nature meant us to hear, so that the sound is considerably more natural than normal headphones or in-ear phones.
