    Ultrasone Edition 7 Luxury Headphones: High-End Sound and Style

    If you've ever heard Ultrasone headphones (in fact, we re wearing a pair right now), you know their S-Logic Surround Sound makes you jump back, wondering if you're actually experiencing a live music performance. Now Ultrasone has released its Edition 7 Luxury Headphones, a handmade version of these exquisite listening devices in a limited edition, with only 999 of them made.

    These look like a significant improvement over our Ultrasone ProLine 750 stock models, where these Edition 7s have Ethiopian hair sheep leather replacing the pedestrian velour earcups of the 750s. The outside is better, too, where those earcups are polished to a shiny piano-like dark blue hue. Beyond their swanky looks, they're technically more advanced as well, with titanium-plated mylar drivers inside that aren t available in any other Ultrasone phones. In keeping with the ultra-fancy presentation, they arrive in a polished red cherry wooden box. Although you get stylin good looks and top sound, you'll pay top dollar for the privilege—they re $3105.
