Julia, Edition 8 from Ultrasone
Handmade in Germany by Ultrasone, Edition 8 Julia is the first pair of trend-colour headphones in the Edition range. Every single pair is manufactured with great care and given it's own series number making Julia, one-of-a-kind.
With elegant fuchsia coloured leather earpads and a fuchsia coloured headband pad, the elegantly flowing engraving on the ruthenium-coated ear cups delights the senses. The mother-of-pearl bands accentuate the charm of these delightful headphones. No band is the same as another, and each is a hand-worked individual creation. The stylish ruthenium coating does not just make the headphones extremely hard-wearing, it also adds the wow-factor with a brilliant, metallic shine.
The earpads for the Edition 8 Julia headphones are made from fuchsia-coloured leather from the Ethiopian long-haired sheep which according to George Poutakidis, Director of Australian importer Busisoft, "This is the most precious leather available and provides the finest isolation of any leather."
The metal headband of the Edition 8 series typifies latest scientific knowledge in headband design and development. This unique headband design made by Ultrasone is highly developed and technical precision work. The Edition 8 Julia headband is also covered with the very soft genuine Ethiopian sheepskin leather.
Edition 8 Julia comes with a fancy white bag for storage and transportation.
In addition to a titanium plated tri-bass-tube driver, these headphones follow Ultrasone´s S-Logic Plus technology which results in a most neutral sound impression with more vivid perception of voices and instruments. Of course, the Edition 8 Julia also contains MU-Metal shielding (ULE technology) that reduces magnetic field emissions by up to 98% compared to conventional headphones.
Ultrasone Edition 8 Julia is available now for $2,299 RRP.
Ultrasone is distributed in Australia by Busisoft.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
