What's unique about the brand
Ultrasone is a German hifi headphone brand known for its proprietary S-Logic technology, which positions drivers off-center to create speaker-like three-dimensional imaging from regular stereo without digital processing. The brand creates specialist models for specific use-cases rather than mainstream voicings.
What reviewers are saying
We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:
- Ultrasone is known for its proprietary S-Logic technology, which decentralizes the headphone drivers to create a more natural and spatial listening experience, designed to mimic the soundstage of speakers.
- They have made a name for themselves producing mostly closed back headphones, a deliberate choice with the goal of achieving focused imaging and controlled bass.
Our favorite reviewer quotes:
- "I loved the full-bodied sound, with great vocal and instrumental presence; there's a degree of warmth which should not be mistaken for lack of detail. These cans managed to present more air around instrumentation than the closed-back version of the Aeon 2 – likely at least in part due to the thoughtful driver arrangement, as well as the headphone's highly talented midband." (https://stereonet.com/reviews/ultrasone-edition-15-veritas-headphones-review)
- "This is a headphone that can make almost any song sound like it has been bass boosted, and will do it shamelessly, with a pure, distortion-free bass that envelops your entire being and ears, turning any casual listening session to a club, disco or concert." (https://www.audiophile-heaven.com/2023/06/ultrasone-signature-pure-dynamic-headphones-new-edition-of-mighty-bass.html)
- "The bass is clearly the central element of the Ultrasone Signature Pure's sound, and it is the heaviest, deepest, strongest bass I've heard to date below about 1000 USD, but it is not just strong, it is clean, clear, and goes in the sub lows down to 20 Hz, making those headphones really special when it comes to how low they can touch the lows and how much bass they can actually pump without distortion."
