Ultrasone Inc., distributor for German headphone manufacturer Ultrasone AG, proudly announces its latest headphone innovation: the HFI-15G. Designed for portable listening applications, the HFI-15G is the smallest headphone in the Ultrasone HFI line but still features Ultrasone’s patented S-Logic™ Natural Surround Sound technology.
The HFI-15G are open-back, supra-aural headphones that deliver superior sonic clarity. Thanks to Ultrasone’s S-Logic™ technology, the new HFI-15G allows the user to experience a natural surround sound sensation without the use of digital processing. Additionally, S-Logic™ technology reduces sound pressure on the ear drum by up to 40%, resulting in a safer listening experience for the user.
All of this is made possible by utilizing a decentralized driver position. Simply put, S-Logic™ directs sound to the listener’s outer ear as opposed to directing sound into the inner ear. The human ear relies on the outer ear for three-dimensional understanding or defining the direction and distance where a sound comes from.

"With the mainstream popularity of portable music players, we wanted to introduce a pair of headphones that contained all of our safe listening technology, but were also easily portable," commented Paul Taylor, President of Ultrasone Inc. “The HFI-15Gs sound quality is second to none and most importantly, they can be enjoyed for hours without discomfort, fatigue, or hearing damage.”
