After months of intense preparation, the news is finally out and already circulating online:
The Astell & Kern x ULTRASONE VIRTUOSO is a high-end headphone created through the collaboration of the renowned audio brands Astell & Kern and ULTRASONE. This model stands out due to several special features:
Exclusive driver technology:
The VIRTUOSO uses ULTRASONE’s patented S-Logic® 3 technology, which provides a natural spatial sound reproduction and intensifies the listening experience.
Premium materials:
High-quality materials are used for the ear pads and headband, ensuring not only excellent comfort but also long-lasting durability.
Special sound tuning:
The collaboration with Astell & Kern has resulted in a unique sound tuning that is particularly detailed and balanced, meeting the expectations of audiophile listeners.
Limited production:
The VIRTUOSO is available in a limited quantity, making it a highly desirable collector’s item for audio enthusiasts.
These characteristics make the Astell & Kern x ULTRASONE VIRTUOSO an outstanding headphone for demanding music lovers.
Indeed, every detail of the VIRTUOSO has been carefully selected and precisely tuned. The headband with ULTRASONE’s FGC technology provides reduced clamping pressure and, together with comfortable memory-foam ear pads, ensures exceptional wearing comfort. The aluminum ear cups and nameplates are exclusive to this model.
The connection to the player is made through a screw-mounted high-end cable, which further refines the sound characteristics. A direct listening comparison makes this clearly noticeable. In addition, the cable is securely attached to the headphone with a solid screw connection, while the connector itself is balanced as standard and equipped with a 4.4 mm TRRRS Pentaconn plug.
An all-around successful product designed for the highest demands.
Available exclusively from Astell & Kern.
My opinion on this:
A product launch could hardly be more positive. The VIRTUOSO was also introduced simultaneously in China and Japan, and both the sound and the elegant design impressed listeners immediately. Even the modern aluminum case for safe transport is a real eye-catcher.
We are proud that our development work in realizing this product has been received so positively, and our recommendation is clear:
Listen to it — and buy it!
