Ultrasone’s latest, the in-ear IQ & Tio Headphones
Quick on the heels of the Signature DJ headphones, Ultrasone have announced what is a bit of a surprise and is likely to change the way you think about in-ear headphones. The Tio and IQ in-ear headphones have been designed for those who are searching for a superior sound from their MP3 players, SmartPhones, notebooks and tablet devices.
The Ultrasone IQ in-ear headphones employ a hybrid driver system which features two sound transducers per channel for sound reproduction at its best. The high-quality metal housing and striking design provide not only a classic look, but the robust quality of materials used to produce the Ultrasone IQ, guarantees years of listening pleasure.
The Ultrasone Tio is based on a hand-selected balanced armature driver which, as a broadband sound transducer, ensures particularly enjoyable highs. A precise and present bass range, as well as transparent mids, showcases the best of your favorite music. In so doing, the Tio is geared primarily towards ambitious listeners looking for a long-lasting hi-fidelity headset to enjoy music on the go and during sporting activities.
“Our Design and Development department worked on driver concepts for in-ear models for over three years”, explains Andreas Veitinger, Engineering Ultrasone AG. “All the while it was our high musical standards and the joy we get from excellent music playback on the go that continued to inspire us to question and rethink concepts and prototypes until our discerning test listeners and we were absolutely sold on it.”
