FOUNDERS SERIES OPEN

When the founder has free rein

"When I look at over 100 models from the past 30 years, there are two designs that stand out. The Edition 8 and the Edition 10. With no ULTRASONE headphone was the farewell from the series harder. So what could be more natural than a revival of these wonderful forms and materials." (Michael Willberg, Founder and CEO)

When considering such a project, only a limited edition remake comes into question (since I also want to build them myself), with improved functionality and the most modern acoustics.

The step was therefore obvious to adapt and tune the famous, legendary GTC transducer from the Edition 15 for the Founders Series.

The result was a sound that takes your breath away. While the Editions 8, 10, and 12 were already reference class in sound at the time, the Founders Series based on them clearly overshadow them. Additionally, they can all be played in balanced mode with an appropriate cable.

The very special advantages of extremely good passive noise cancellation in the closed version and further improved extreme airiness in the open variant are particularly well highlighted with the new tuning.

Additionally, there is a detachable connection cable with MMCX connectors, one or two transport bags depending on the version, a case in wood or leather, and sometimes even a wooden stand included.

This, like the material combination, is a surprise. You can choose between open and closed versions. Which variant you get - whether with a headband made of wood, aluminum, carbon, mother-of-pearl, ceramic, with capsules with aluminum, ruthenium (glossy or matte), PVD or palladium finish, with a black or silver frame and so on - is a surprise.

One thing is certain: You will get a highly exclusive, unique product, of which sometimes there is only a single piece.
