Here's a tranlation from a German forum :
Quote #1: "For Edition 8: On Phonitor SPL, Auditor, V200 Lake People. Nice part. The Edition 8 has me personally very much.
I noticed: He struckturiert the sound somewhat slender than the 9th Edition The sound image alive by then her impression about the sensitivity, which also somehow just color shades of her impression are an integral part. So to say, the Edition 9 makes it all a little rough. Then, the Edition 8 I believe, after a slight advantage in the overall balance. You notice it alone already in classical music. That this music requires even as other Baßfundament good, but no excess supply or light domination. This reflects the somewhat balanced Edition 8, which then mentioned to me about music is very helpful.
Voices are also benefiting from the somewhat subtle gait.
Edition 8 The music in some way it visually appears - it has what noble, delicate in itself, the whole sound. But it is not exaggerated, no subtlety at all costs. Thank God is through his fine play on the other hand, not the kind of direct or opening direct access to the sound minimized. He remains a direct and open. A is still very open and clear insight offering space. There remains an almost real domain Ultrasone the top models.
Then I noticed that also the positioning or if you would like the focus is slightly improved. The Edition 8 clarifies the placement of instruments or performers themselves intelligible without out to crystallize. Control, I would Baßpräzision home in peace to make, this is the fair inappropriate.
As far as the first impressions that ever were possible. Because was not specifically targeted at the fair.
Preliminary Conclusions: Feingliedigerer Klang, better balance and an even course in the area look ".
Quote #2: "Balanced" than the Ed9 I see it, heights are clearly visible, less prominent bass, but very controlled and precise, all frequencies are clean and clear to hear, increase in 80 to 100 Hz and at 5 o'clock-6 o'clock kHz.
Initially wanted but not quite the bass mids and treble to match. Not only current music, including test signals below 100 Hz simply sounded "different" (yes yes ...). That has now after about 40 to 50 hours (more, I came not yet), and finally everything is "like a cast."
Initially I also felt the extension as a sounding unpleasantly sharp and totally useless, too, is gone. Probably easy adaptation on my part.
The short cable with Minklinke (both sides at the extension cord, always with adapter) leads to the Edition 8 on MP3 players or on the Mini-kitchens system. So at least on the iPod touch 2G sounds (apart from the lack of volume) are quite modest / disappointing. Was already in the Edition 9 so.
For the spatiality of this "S-Logic Plus" I can not (yet) very positive comment. The stage effect is noticeably broader than that of the Edition 9, but I find depth, focus and placement of the instruments (for now) is less successful than its predecessor (probably the downside of the larger stage). This may, however, with further import of handset and headset (each) to change.
The pressure is quite strong and the earpads sit close to my battered ears. I have to still get back constantly, so that the edges do not eingequetscht ears are still hard and the padding of any disagreeable pressure in the upper half of exercise. Will both with security and / or adapt quickly.
BTW: the position of the ears seems to be a strong influence on the perception of space to have more so than with the 9th Edition And the baffle has now in addition to the front, bottom holes clustered in the predecessor and the front and back a number of holes of different sizes.
In summary, one could very last say: Ultrasone has done its homework and actually improved, which is at the Edition 9 may be suspended: there was the sound balance, possibly resolution spatial mapping if necessary, partly depending on the convenience and taste appeal and material design."
