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.

whilst 1.2 BILLION people have no access to something quite simplistic as PURE DRINKINGWATER we put ethiopian hair sheep leather on our 3k headphones. me i like living in europe but some things i read just make me think about the rightfulness of how we handle this world....
i see absolutely nothing that would rationalize a 3000 dollar price tag, i would rather a pair of sennheiser hd600's to these anyday even if price wasnt an issue and there only 450 or so depending on your dealer also i have never, ever, seen a website that is so poorly designed in my life i sure hope that the 3000 dollar price tag isnt being used to pay the website designers this actually pisses me off that people would rather pay 3 grand for a pair of headphones then pay less then 500 for a pair of headphones that are just as good and then send 2500 off to africa to pay for what 10 years worth of food and shelter for a starving family
