Awesome Ultrasone

The scandalous Edition 10 headphones are handmade in Germany using exotic materials, such as ear cup covers lavished with Ethiopian sheep leather, ruthenium and Zebrano wood.

Ultrasone’s HFI-2400 open-backed headphones feature 40 mm gold-plated drivers; they also fold up and include a detachable cable, MU Metal shielding and S-Logic tech.

Best known for their uber-expensive cans, Ultrasone goes down-market with these Zino semi-closed headphones; it sports 40mm gold-plated drivers, a chrome trim and a folding design.

Marginally cheaper than the Edition 9s, Ultrasone’s Edition 8 is still a premium headphone, with Ethiopian sheepskin ear cups, Ruthenium plating and MU-metal shielding.
