PRO 550 Headphones
"I love my Ultrasones because of their unparalleled low end response and unmatched clarity and sound quality. They're a drummer's dream in the studio and that's why I never do a session without them."
- Chad Gilmore
Professionally designed and equipped headphones. Detachable cables, extra cable, speed-switch earpads incl. a spare pair of earpads, hardcase for storage and transportation and many more details meet professionals´ needs. The 50 mm heavy duty driver is producing an imposing sound intensity. Tight and powerful bass plus precise and detailed instrument placement is given. Combined with all useful accessories included in the new PRO hardcase, the closed PRO 550 finds his fans within bass players and drummers. Due to requests we implemented an additional function which enables you to fold these headphones easily.
PRO headphones stand for Ultra Low Emission (ULE-technology) with significant benefits for professional users and PRO headphones show a specific design. The PRO appearance does not only distinguish the professional line but also allows due to more ear anatomy area a higher degree of transparency in combination with the spatial sense and understanding.
To understand what ULE-technology does, you need to know that most headphone drivers produce low-frequency magnetic fields as they convert an electric signal into an acoustical signal you hear as music. In response, Ultrasone developed a special MU Metal shielding (ULE-technology) to reduce the radiation by up to 98% compared to current headphones. The ULE-technology has stood the test of international review and is recommended by technical surveillance organisations. Ultrasone originally developed the ULE-technology for professionals as they do spend half of their lives in headphones. But due to grand requests the ULE-technology has now been integrated in other Ultrasone headphone lines.
Through S-Logic™ Natural Surround, the sound moves out of your head and into the room around you. Consequently, the music is no longer confined, but breathing once again, spacious and organic. Direction and distance are more easily perceived – it’s like being at a live concert (…or in the studio). No additional equipment is necessary. So with just a pair of Ultrasones and your favorite audio device, prepare yourself for genuine 3-dimensional enjoyment!
S-Logic™ does not only create a Natural Surround Sound. S-Logic™ allows at the same time a reduction of sound pressure levels by up to 40% (3-4 dB) for the same loudness sensation. This may reduce the risk of hearing damage while ensuring hours of fatigue-free listening. However, Ultrasone generally advises not to listen to music at high volumes to prevent hearing damage.PRO 550 Headphones Specs
