Product Description

Color: Black/Chrome

Product Description

For the discerning audiophile, ULTRASONE has equipped the sleek mobile iCans with S-Logic natural surround sound technology, providing an unparalleled listening experience while protecting your hearing. S-Logic unlocks the sound of your ipod and moves it into the room around you. Music is spacious and detached; distance and directions can be heard as if in a concert. S-Logic Natural Surround Sound: S-Logic uses decentralized driver positioning to utilize the pinna of the ear in the manner it is used in everyday life, reflecting the audio signal off the surface of the outer ear in different directions before entering the auditory canal. This results in a very natural spacious three-dimensional sound. S-Logic is the only headphone system which includes your entire sense of hearing. Safer Listening: Because the S-Logic technology does not aim the auditory signal directly down the ear canal but at the pinna, pressure to the ear drum is decreased by up to 40% (3-4dB) for the same perceived loudness. This significantly reduces the risk of hearing damage an absolute must if you spend a lot of time in headphones. ULE technology: the ULE technology was systematically developed by ULTRASONE for users who spend many hours in the headphones. All headphone drivers produce low-frequency magnetic fields. In response, ULTRASONE developed a special MU Metal shielding (ULE technology) to reduce the radiation by up to 98% compared to ordinary headphones. The ULE technology has stood the test of international review and is recommended by technical surveillance organizations.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly superb headphone., May 22, 2007
This review is from: ULTRASONE iCans, S-Logic Surround Sound Professional Headphones - (White) (Electronics)
I am a headphone aficionado, and I own about 30 pairs from the Sony V6 and V600 to the Sony EX-90, the Senheiser PXC300, RS140 and on and on; you get the idea. The Ultrasone iCans Naos which I own are unique and wonderful. I view headphones as some view musical instruments, with each producing a unique timbre and varying quality of sound. With headphones, physical comfort is also a significant issue. The iCans absolutely excel in every facet. They are everything a headphone should be. They reproduce the full sound spectrum with great assertiveness and exceptional accuracy. They are extremely comfortable and portable to boot. The Ultrasone S-Logic audio enhancement creates a wonderful sense of spaciousness, with none of the negative artifacts of typical "surround sound" headphones.

If you buy one pair of headphones, the iCans are the ones to buy. They do far more than improve in a linear fashion upon other headphones. Ultrasone has created something truly unique and wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars A unique quality that Ultrasone has finally brought to a traveling size, March 4, 2006
By John Harris (Zionsville, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you have not experienced the Ultrasone sound quality, it will be hard to fully appreciate these phones. They provide an open relaxed yet dynamic sound. I have the HFI700's which are beyond any others. For traveling I have used Sennheiser PX200 and Shure E3c. The iCans are by far more comfortable than either barely feeling them on your head. Being semi-open they do not isolate those around you as well as these though. One can listen to the iCans for a longer period without feeling tired.

The iCans carry the Surround Sound System S-Logic well from their big brothers. The bass is a little weaker, but the accuracy is excellent across the range of 20-20,000. I use the Cowon's A2 as my source which is one of the best. It is well worth the while to go outside the lemming behavior of iPOD's and Sony to experience where others have advanced technology beyond the masses.

5.0 out of 5 stars unbelievable sound and comfort with great style, March 28, 2007
This review is from: ULTRASONE iCans-Naos, S-Logic Surround Sound Professional Headphones (Electronics)
Loved the Naos. They match my Nano perfect, have really thick foam pads that block alot of exterior noise and are very comfortable and secure. But the best part is the sound. I didn't know my MP3 could sound so good. Great bass response. And they are supposed to protect my ears. Worth every penny.
