Ultrasone HFI 700 Headphones B Stock, from Ultrasone

Well, let me start by saying I didn't think that I would ever find a pair of headphones that 1.) I could actually trust the phones enough to mix on them, and that 2.) they didn't fry my ears with fatigue. Ultrasone has done it. Their top of the line 650 simply blows away the traditional Sennheiser, AKG, and Sony headphones that I have used extensively in the past. The 650 is truly flat, natural, and amazingly accurate not only in the highs, but also with spectacularly accurate and true bass and low-end. The 650?s closed-ear design does a wonderfully good job at canceling out external sound, while still remaining comfortable for those long sessions. The ?S-Logic? technology uses a decentralized transducer to create the sound which means, all the other headphones simply have it wrong. The Ultrasone?s shoot sound at the large crest of the ear, the way your ear actually picks up sound, which is why they are the safest and truest headphone even remotely in this price range. The rest of the competition that shoots sound straight into your ear is not only inaccurate because it does not recreate the natural way sounds are hear within the ear, but they are actually damaging. Additionally the S-Logic technology maintains its flatness, neutrality, and accuracy throughout its volume range. The Ultrasones not only address the issue of direct sound which can be damaging to the ear, but also have great reduction in magnetic field, and ultra low radioation emission. IF you think cell phones are dangerous, you should read the specs on headphones. For us working engineers the greatly reduced radiation in Ultrasone headphones could actually save our life!! The standard low emission model has an approximately 50% reduction in radiation, whereas the more expensive PROline/ULE (Ultra-Low Radiation) models have a nearly 98% reduction. Sonically the difference between the standard and pro-line model is non-existent, but if you are serious about both your hearing, and not frying your brain, the PROline does it even better (although the standard model is FAR safer than any other model in my studio). Safety aside, all you have to do is trust these phones. This is truly the best set of mixing-capable head phones under $1,000 that I have ever had the pleasure of using.

The HFI-700 daily proves its achievement worldwide in music production, in recording studios, at the microphone, or in television and broadcasting studios. The high-class drivers, made of gold plated mylar foil, are very sensitive and provide a maximum of transparency. The first closed back headphone which sounds like an open one. No other ULTRASONE has such a long list of reference customers. Foldable closed, circum-aural for compact storage and one ear-listening. 3m cable. Weight without cord 350 g, PROline 382g. Frequency response 10Hz-25kHz, Impedance 75 ohms, and SPL 94 dB. Travel bag included.

S-LogicTM Natural Surround Sound: Through the S-LogiTM Natural Surround Sound the usual headphone sound will be moved out of the head in the room around you. The sound is no longer locked in, but appears broad and detached. Directions and distances can be heard and perceived - it?s just like being in a live concert.

For this new technology additional equipment is not required. A pair of ULTRASONE headphones plus a simple CD player and you will be ready for the 3-dimensional music enjoyment!

Safer hearing: In addition, the HFI-700 is easy on the ears: The S-LogicTM Natural Surround Sound System allows an up to 40% lower dB output (3-4 dB) for the same loudness sensation, thereby the risk of hearing defects may be reduced enormously.

Reduced magnetic field emissions: Like all the ULTRASONE products, the HFI-700 has a strongly reduced radiation. The standard version LE (= Low Emission) offers a reduction of approx. 50% in comparison with ordinary headphones. It is certified and recommended by Technical Surveillance Organi- sations and Consumer Advice Centers with certified low magnetic field emissions.

Character: These superior headphones are developed from the studio sector and are distinguished by a frequency response especially tuned for DVD. Sophisticated home cineasts and music enthusiasts are overwhelmed by the extraordinary sound that appears as though you are listening to speakers meters away from your head. Also demanding PC gamers appreciate the HFI-700 because of the impressing three-dimensional sound-effects.

The low frequency ranges are being risen in order to reach the highest possible synergies towards DSP-Systems like DOLBY HEADPHONE TM and YAMAHA SILENT CINEMA TM. Due to customer enquiries and requests we implemented an additional function which enables you to fold back and up the individual earpiece without removing these headphones from your head in order to be con-nected immediately with the "outside world" again. Because of this folding mechanism, these headphones can be compactly stored and easily transported in a suitcase. Thanks to its closed construction, external noise is suppressed. You can thereby concentrate exclusively on the transferred music or spoken language you are listening to.
