“To have our S-Logicâ„¢ technology recognized as a breakthrough innovation by one of the most renowned international design competitions is a tremendous honor,â€? remarked Michael Zirkel, Ultrasone’s COO. “Ultrasone’s goal has always been to design the world’s best sounding and safest headphones. We believe our patented S-Logicâ„¢ technology results in the purest and most elegant listening experience to be found
anywhere, all while helping to protect the listener’s hearing.”
S-Logicâ„¢ Technology
Ultrasone’s patented S-Logic™ technology is best described as a natural surround sound system. Rather than directing the audio signal to the listener’s ear canal, as most conventional headphones do, S-Logic™ technology employs decentralized drivers that direct audio to the listener’s outer ear. This technology not only gives the user a natural surround experience in a stereo headphone by utilizing the ear’s anatomy, but it also reduces sound pressure on the eardrums by an astonishing 40%.
