Q: What's with Ultrasone headphones? Why do they sound different than everything else out there?
A: Few headphones polarize audiophiles as much as Ultrasone. Folks either love the sound, or hate it.
In essence Florian Konig, Ultrasone's founder, came up with this paper on how to bounce sound waves off the ears rather than into the ears directly to create this surround effect with normal headphones. They called this effect s-logic, and have been refining the technology ever since. Only Ultrasones have them. More details here -- this is what makes Ultrasone headphones sound so different.
Folks who love S-logic love Ultrasone. They sound unique, and in my opinion the only way you can figure out if you are a lover or a hater is to listen to them for yourself and decide.
