Edition 10: Sumptuous audio for the ears
In terms of sound, comfort and design the Edition 10, which is designed to meet the highest of
demands, even succeeds in surpassing the expectations of hi-fi enthusiasts. The development of the
Ultrasone masterpiece is the result of over 10 years of development expertise in headphone
technology – which is manifest in over 60 patented technologies at Ultrasone. The Edition 10 was
conceived as a dynamic headphone for hi-fi enjoyment which, despite the open design, offers a depth
of tone and precision otherwise only possible with closed headphones. Ultrasone’s patented S-Logic
Plus technology with its decentrally configured transducers forms the basis for the superlative sound
quality of this top range model. It enables authentic reproduction of audio which is unprecedented:

vivid sound with undreamt-of surround sound quality that steals the show with perfect reproduction
within the stereo panorama and tremendous range of depth.
Edition 8: Sonorous elegance, for people on the move
Good music need not be confined to your own four walls – with the Edition 8 you have your own
exclusive travelling companion. The high-end headphones available in two different designs absorb
any undesired external noise thanks to their closed design – allowing your time spent travelling to fly
by. What’s more, the headphones are also elegant eye-catchers for which, once again, only the best
materials would do. The headphone’s ear pads are covered with extremely soft Ethiopian sheepskin
ensuring superior wearer-comfort. A handpicked 40-millimeter transducer with titanium coating is
responsible for the Edition 8’s excellent sound qualities. And what’s more, S-Logic Plus ensures this
expertly-handcrafted model delivers first-class stereo reproduction as well as outstanding surround
sound quality.
Both Edition series models are handcrafted in the headphone factory in Bavaria and bear individual
serial numbers – which means that each individual set of headphones is unique. In addition, the
exclusive design has also been singled out for praise – the Edition 10 has been awarded the
prestigious red dot design award.
“There is no place quite like Harrods anywhere else in the world”, comments Michael Zirkel, COO of
Ultrasone AG. “The fact that our Edition series features here alongside other exclusive hi-fi products is
almost like being knighted. We are delighted that Harrods has enabled us to bring Ultrasone’s passion
for headphone technology to the ears of an exclusive British clientele.”
