Ultrasone Brings Natural Surround Sound to Teens
Posted in: earbuds, headphones, MP3 Digital Audio, Today's Chili
In a world where teens are suffering hearing loss at an alarming rate due to ear-bud headphones, Ultrasone’s patented S-Logic listening technology is to the rescue. Focusing on directing sound to your outer ear (or the pinna for you anatomy majors) rather than directly into your ear canal like most ear buds and over-the-ear headphones, these headphones’ Natural Surround Sound reduces sound pressure by up to 40 percent, says Ultrasone.
Taking advantage of the pinna’s natural ability to discern the direction and distance of sound, Ultrasone claims its headphones create a three-dimensional listening experience without damaging your hearing. So, you’re probably wondering what that mildly disturbing image above is all about. Well, the ear on the left is clearly a normal human ear, but the right image is Ultrasone’s estimation of what the human ear would have to look like for optimized listening with today’s standard headphones. It certainly does make a statement.
Ultrasone’s products might come at a steep price, but could provide a worthwhile return on investment if only for protecting your hearing.
