@AppleheadMay: As you already know, there are two versions of Ultrasone Edition 8. Ruthenium version is glossy and shiny and retails for $1499. The Palldium version is not glossy and is not shiny, but made of very expensive material and Retails for $1699.
Technical Specification-wise they both are same, but cosmetically they look different. I assure you that it is a typo by Ultrasone on the receipt because clearly I have the palladium version. But they must have mistakenly written that because technically they both have same drivers and leather pads.
Feel free to ask any questions as I would be more than happy to assist.
