Ultrasone Edition 8 review: Ultrasone Edition 8

 

Ultrasone Edition 8

Compact (for a full-size model), high-end over-the-ear headphones; excellent isolation from external noise; compatible with iPods and portable players; includes 13-foot extension cable and soft goatskin travel/storage bag; three-year warranty coverage.

Extremely steep price.
