Which I imagine didn't sell so hot due to their enormous price tag for their intended use (~$200 shipped via amazon) Both headphones have "S-Logic" tech, both have same Freq. Range 20Hzto 20 kHz, Impedance 35ohm, and SPL 101dB Granted, based off the Sample Images on NuForce's site...they look a bit less gaudy. I'm in no way implying these are rebranded Ultrasones that Ultrasone is trying to get rid of by selling it to another company, for all I know..they can be tweaked designs much like Allesandro are to Grados. For the $69, they seem like a decent portable/entry level headphone. Much better than paying $200 |

IMO, it does make sense that NuForce is starting "small" with an easily-driven headphone..easier to synergize with their Icon and Icon Mobile. But I honestly can't see them being contenders to say anything greater than Grado SR-125s ...but if they do (Nuforce has continually surprised us all with their IEMS and Icon Mobile)..oh man |
