ULTRASONE Founders Series Closed back headphones based on ed 8 with GTC drivers
• S-Logic® EX • ULE (Ultra Low Emission) When the founder has free rein “When I look back at the over 100 models of the past 30 years, there are two designs that stood out above all. Edition 8 and Edition 10. Saying goodbye to those models was the hardest of all ULTRASONE headphones. So what could be more logical than reviving these wonderful shapes and materials?” (Michael Willberg, Founder and CEO) When considering such a project, only a limited reissue (since I want to build them myself), with improved functionality and state-of-the-art acoustics, comes into question. It was therefore obvious to tune and adapt the famous, legendary GTC driver from the Edition 15 for the Founders Series. The result is a sound that takes your breath away. While Editions 8, 10, and 12 were already reference class in their time, the Founders Series based on them clearly surpass them. All models can also be operated in balanced mode when using an appropriate cable. The very special advantages of extremely good passive noise isolation in the closed version, and extreme airiness further enhanced by Venturi channels in the open version, come into their own with the new tuning. In addition, there is a detachable MMCX cable, depending on the version one or two transport pouches, a case made of wood or leather, and sometimes even a wooden stand included. However, this — just like the material combination — is a surprise. You can choose between open or closed. Which variant you receive — whether with a headband made of wood, aluminum, carbon, mother-of-pearl, ceramic, with aluminum, ruthenium (gloss or matt), PVD or palladium-finished ear cups, with a black or silver headband, and so on — is a surprise. The only certainty: you will receive a highly exclusive, unique product, sometimes even a one-of-a-kind piece.

German manufacturer ULTRASONE stands as one of the world's most revered producers of reference headphones, serving audiophiles, studio professionals, and discerning mobile listeners alike. Established in 1991 following years of research, the brand was founded with a mission to redefine spatial hearing in headphone listening.

ULTRASONE combines sustainable, resource-efficient production with fine materials, including solid precious woods, medical-grade titanium, and supple sheepskin leather. The brand's acoustic innovation is exemplified by proprietary transducer breakthroughs, such as the Gold Titanium Compound (GTC) driver—blending a warm gold Mylar membrane with a surgical titanium dome—and the TruTex bio-cellulose diaphragm, which delivers effortless clarity and wide frequency bandwidth. ULTRASONE headphones deliver precise low-end impact, velvet transparency, and three-dimensional realism that preserves the true emotional intent of the artist.
