Ultrasone's 'radiation reducing' Pro 900 headphones

900: The first of the Pro series

Purveyors of very expensive headphones, Ultrasone Inc, has released a brand new Pro series. The first model - the Pro 900 - features S-Logic Plus Technology, which basically provides a larger soundstage inside the earcup for an "improved acoustic feeling". At a cost of $600 per pair, we'd expect nothing less.

The 900s have a closed-back, classic black design and velvet covered ear pads. Ultrasone also boasts that a built-in MU-Metal shield reduces radiation output from your computer by a massive 98%, when compared to conventional headphones.

Here's the technical spec…

- 6-42k Hz frequency range
- 40 Ohm impedance
- 96dB sound pressure level
- 40mm titanium-plated driver
- 295g weight (without cord)

What else do you get for your money? Two removable cables (one spiral and one straight) and a hard carrying case. Gold plated, surely…

Note: I meant that Audio-Depot has exclusive distribution in the United States.

FYI: Audio-Depot has bought the entire first shipment of these Pro900 headphones from Ultrasone and then some. They are claiming that they have been guaranteed exclusive distribution by Ultrasone for a limited time period, and UltraPaul doesn't seem to be disputing any of this on his Head-fi Ultrasone blog.
Audio-Depot (note the hyphen) is also selling them for $50 less than what I see everyone else is selling them for ($549 instead of $599), and there is a coupon code that is floating around that may get you a further discount. It works on other Ultrasone products at least. Write me to get the code, as I don't want to just post it here.
The headphones are supposed to be available September 26th. If you have bags of money that you don't mind wasting and you have not bought from Audio-Depot before (they rock) then you can also buy direct off of Ultrasone's Shopatron-powered website. But Audio-Depot will end up fulfilling the order anyway since they are the only ones that will have them in stock. That is how Shopatron works.
BTW: Audio-Depot.com also has the "Limited Edition" Edition9s on sale. No one else even seems to have these in stock anymore.
