The ULTRASONE story. From masterpiece to stunning.
German Engineering
Who doesn't know the term used to describe the relationship between reliability and quality industrial products all over the world?
The origins of German precision manufacturing and design can be traced back to Bavaria at the beginning of the last century. The industry that developed here gave the world brands such as BMW.
The German founder who is restlessly seeking perfection created the ULTRASONE brand to make real stereo sound and surround sound available through headphones. For more than 25 years, high-quality headphones have been produced with great enthusiasm and passion by Lake Starnberg in Bavaria. Their efforts are crowned with success and recognition. Over the years, users' opinions about headphones have changed. From a functional object, it became a work of art and a tool for work. The story began in 1991 when a musician created headphones to his liking to listen back to his own music recordings and attempted to reproduce the missing spatial information of the headphones. The prototype headphones, which became widely acclaimed, later became the Ultrasone HFi-100, the brand's first headphones, in 2004.
Several world-famous and well-known artists throughout Europe, such as Axl Rose, frontman of Guns' n Roses and more recently lead singer of AC/DC, or Moses Pelham, rapper in German, and LaBrassBanda have all opted for ULTRASONE products. Many international DJs such as Sara Castro, TAVO or Kai Schwarz also use ULTRASONE headphones with great satisfaction.
Florian M König and Michael Willberg collaborated on the first Ultrasone headphone with S-Logic technology, the HFi-100.
