Talk about exotic and the new Ultrasone Edition 10 open back limited edition headphone is just about how exotic you can get. It’s a specially designed open back earcups with Zebrano wood inlays, leather pads and titanium-plated driver. The Edition 10 is a limited release headphone not made for those with limited budget – tagged at $$2,749.00; it is one pricey limited edition headset that audiophiles who fly under economy class would probably stay clear of.
But for those who can manage to get a pair of these luxurious earcups, they’ll be part of the elite few that will be the envy of many. And what is there not to envy – Zebrano wood ear cup inlays with a rare galvanic Ruthenium plating, reddish brown Ethiopian sheepskin leather ear cup pads, Titanium plated drivers and Kevlar coated cables await those 2010 limited lucky owners. Like a priced trophy, this high-end specialty headphone comes with its own Zebrano wood headphone stand, wood storage case and unique serial number.
The drivers made for the Edition 10 have been particularly fine tuned for open back headphones. The Titanium-plated 40mm drivers used a 10% more powerful magnet that enhances sound pressure levels and every set of drivers have been independently paired with a tolerance of +/- 0.4. Ultrasone also used silver-plated 99.99% pure copper with Kevlar coating for the cables. Furthermore, the 10 is designed to be balanced input ready, features S-Logic Plus technology and MU-Metal shielding (ULE technology).
