Product Description
Edition9 is hand-made in Germany. Edition9 is a new pair of headphones with extraordinary qualities. Designed and manufactured with a maximum of attention. You are interested in a pair of headphones with the most sophisticated sound system and the most exclusive materials. Exclusive beauty and high technology at the same time. Take your time and enjoy the finesse in manufacturing and choice of materials. The patented S-Logic technology is described as Natural Surround Sound. No other digital surround system can compare with this new standard. As the sound of normal headphones will sound direct and even on both sides, the S-Logic system pushes the sound around your head. It appears as though you are listening to speakers meters away. Even at very low levels, this spacious sound allows you to hear precisely. Edition9 uses titanium-plated drivers which offer the most accurate and finest sound reproduction. And on top, the S-Logic technology does not require additional electronic equipment.

 Not the best August 2, 2007

The Edition 9 has taken a cue from Bose, attempting to justify its inflated price tag by calling it "The World's Most Expensive Headphone." You'll find more pleasing ways to power your iPod elsewhere. Moreover, it is strongly recommended to sample competing models to decide which "sound" is best for you. While the Edition 9 performs well, it may in someways fall short of perfection. (And in all accuracy, the Edition 9 is half the cost of its limited Edition 7; it's already contradicting its own ad copy before it's even out of the gate.
- The case is astonishing, offering full production in an aluminum-lined enclosure almost worthy of protection in itself. The problem is that, with daily use, a case like this is likely to be stored in a closet. And protection may be a long-term an issue; while most listeners are satisfied, a few have complained about flaking the outer surface flaking. Since these phones are presumably going to be used for a long time, wear is a potential issue. The other "problem" is the Edition 9's ability to be folded away like the Sony V6; but it does not fold into its portable carrying case, rendering the case rather useless.
- The are made of Ethiopian sheep leather, an exclusive material offers good softness and long the ability to listen with better-than-average ease.
- The Edition 9 has a forgiving sound with a prominent bass (thanks to its closed design). The treble is more delicate and clear, but probably not ideal for those who crave detail.
- A great-sounding headphone is worth the price. However, a superior collector's phone like the Grado HP2 can be acquired for less than the price of an Edition 9, and perfectionists (with a larger sound system) may favor the exceptional detail of the AKG K1000 - which, with the right set-up, may be the best dynamic phone out there. Even current phones from Audio-Technica may surprise. Before falling for Edition 9 ad copy, do a lot of listening.
Can a headphone be "the best?" Only your ad copy knows for sure. But anyone who paid $3000 for the Edition 7 probably isn't counting pennies, either.

I got a Walkman from my grandpa, and it's great to listen to the cassettes with. But I always wondered how the sound would improve with a >8 edition surround-sound headphones. Well I got this baby and WOW! I can hear the background noise so clearly now. It feels so good, sometimes I wear this headphone unplugged to cocktail parties. It allows me to hear them talk in surround sound, which is great. With all the ladies taking interest in me (I think some of them are just headphone-diggers), it's hard to tell who is talking to me from what direction.
Please do not rate this item if you do not own one! You must own one to know the difference.
