I found this and S-logic did catch my eye. The headband also looks very familiar with the one Ultrasone uses so is they somehow collaborating with Yamaha now?

Hear, Here: Yamaha's New Professional Quality Monitor Headphone
— Exceptional Sound and Extra Comfort —

BUENA PARK, Calif. — Yamaha introduces the new RH10MS Professional Monitor Headphones with S-Logic™ Technology. Yamaha's legendary studio monitors have been the industry standard for their signature sound, accuracy and classic silhouette for more than two decades. The RH10MS Professional Monitor Headphones carry on that tradition; in addition to offering true fidelity, the white plating on the outer ear cuffs is reminiscent of Yamaha's signature white-cone studio monitor speakers.

The RH10MS's S-Logic™ 3-Dimensional Natural Surround delivers a new standard in digital surround that sends sounds around the listener's head, not just into it. Without relying on tricks like artificial echo or digital processing, the system allows listeners to experience music just the way the sound mixer produced it.

"S-Logic is a wonderful innovation," said Kenya Austin, product manager, Yamaha Accessory Products. "Instead of hitting the inner ear directly, the signals are reflected off the surface of the outer ear in different directions. The effect simulates listening to speakers several feet away and lets listeners perceive the same volume at significantly lower sound pressure."

The RH10MS weighs 265 grams, excluding the three meter cord, and offers 18-21,000k frequency response, 32 Ohms impedance and 96 db sensitivity. The headphones, which include a 1/4" adaptor, are compatible with all audio devices and feature an ergonomic design and padded band that provide ultimate comfort for extended wear. Also included is a velour pouch for added protection during storage.

The RH10MS professional monitor headphones (MSRP: $159) are expected to ship in January, 2008.

It would be cool if they used Ultrasone's S-logic tech, but with a Yamaha sound signature instead of the crazy peaks and valley's of the ultrasones

They are rebadged Ultrasone HFI-450s. I have both and except for the branding they are 100% identical, SQ included. Not too shabby, either.

well excuse me!

But that thread seems to have ended with a different conclusion:

Not exactly rebadged, I would say.

The HFI550 has a 50mm driver, while RH10MS sports a 40mm driver.

Sound wise no difference, better, worse? I was quite curious when I found out about this headphone but some things about the Yamaha seemed too 'shady.'

SQ included, all the reviews I've read say the same thing, whoops, April fools right?
