Know before you buy
S-Logic Plus is a proprietary Ultrasone design that shifts the transducer position to direct sound toward the outer ear rather than straight into the ear canal. This creates a more natural, spatial soundstage that mimics the experience of listening to speakers in a room.
Yes, the 820B features an ergonomic design paired with soft velour and memory foam ear pads. These materials are chosen to reduce pressure and heat buildup, making them well-suited for extended studio work or long commutes.
Yes, the headphones include a detachable cable equipped with an integrated microphone and remote. This allows you to easily manage calls or control media playback on your smartphone or computer.
The 820B uses a closed-back design which physically blocks out a significant amount of ambient noise. While it is not active noise cancellation, the seal created by the over-ear cups provides excellent passive isolation for focused listening.
Yes, the cables are detachable. If a cable wears out or you need a different length, you can easily swap it out without needing to replace the entire headset.
With an impedance of 32 Ohms, these headphones are designed to be easily driven by standard devices like laptops, tablets, and smartphones. You will get plenty of volume without needing a dedicated external amplifier.
