Ultrasone HFI 580 headphones

Ultrasone's latest headphones are designed to make the sound you're listening to appear larger than it actually is.

The HFI 580 cans feature Ultrasone's S-Logic technology, which improves audio quality by using natural surround sound techniques. The design pushes sound around the ear from a decentralised driver, so it appears to be coming from speakers much further away.

Another advantage of the technology is that it reduces sound pressure without affecting the perceived loudness of the signal, which reduces the risk of damaging your hearing.

The HFI 580 headphones are available now for £144.99, see Ultrasone for more information.
