"Ultrasone's S-Logic technology uses an array of transducers inside the ear cup to bounce sound off the folds in your outer ear. The result isn't exactly surround sound, at least not in the sense that you'll perceive audio events to be originating from specific locations in three-dimensional space, but the effect is much more natural than what you get from conventional headphones." from Maximumpc.com I'm on the lookout for the ideal travel headset - 1) light & compact, 2) can use disposable batteries (or none at all), 3) is comfortable for long periods, 4) has a decent sound, and 5) has the ability to at least partially mask the ambient noise in a plane or train. I've tried units from Shure, Sony, Sennheiser, and Ultrasone. All meet, in different ways, 3 or 4 of the 5 criteria. from Amazon.com I flirted around for a while with earbuds, but never found any that were comfortable for long-term wear. So the next step was to look for over-the-ear options. I think these Ultrasone iCans are close to perfection. The earcups lay gently on the ears, and the headband can be lengthened/shortened to help position the cups correctly. from Amazon.com Also, your price of $69.99 was a real bargain. These cans usually sell for $129.99. The iCans are the best ones for the price. from Amazon.com I'd love to give these a five star rating on the design alone. They bling like no other headphones, however it doesn't stop there. Like the other Ultrasone's I have they are beautifully presented, but the iCans have a wow factor of their own. The only downside is the midrange, which is recessed. from Amazon.com I've used many ear phones that caused significant ear ache/pain. These have great sound and are rare in that they have a very low radiation emission. Ultrasone actaully has performed scientific studies demonstrating reduced radiation. from Amazon.com The only downside of this is that everyone around you can hear it if it's too loud, which is probably going to provide more sense to turn it down, reducing the dB exposure to the eardrums even more than 40%. And the bass, treble, and every other sound you can thing of comes in cleaner than it did in the studio. I've heard that Ultrasone's more expensive products have even better performance, but I'm not sure that's even possible. from Amazon.com I am a headphone aficionado, and I own about 30 pairs from the Sony V6 and V600 to the Sony EX-90, the Senheiser PXC300, RS140 and on and on; you get the idea. The Ultrasone iCans Naos which I own are unique and wonderful. I view headphones as some view musical instruments, with each producing a unique timbre and varying quality of sound. from Amazon.com I have read either rave reviews, or disappointing reviews about the icans...which I suppose is to be expected from a headphone with such a unique design. My advice...buy a pair...follow the instructions on how to wear them...and you'll be amazed. from Amazon.com I've been looking for Ipod headphones that will make up for my inability to carry my home stereo speakers with me. These Icans are those headphones. I still have my Sennheiser PX 100s and my Etymotic ER 6i headphones, but I've just about abandoned them in the weeks since the ICans arrived. from Amazon.com
