[New Product Review] ULTRASONE Limited Edition Closed-Back Headphones Launch: Signature PURE WHITE

From Germany’s renowned audio brand ULTRASONE comes a new limited-edition headphone model, the Signature PURE WHITE!
Trusted even in professional environments, the Signature PURE WHITE features the high-fidelity sound ULTRASONE is known for, combined with a sleek and refined design. This high-quality model is perfect for a wide range of uses, from music listening and DTM (desktop music production) to gaming.
In this review, I will share my impressions of the Signature PURE WHITE, focusing on its design, sound quality, comfort, and usability.

A Simple and Stylish Look with a White Color Scheme

The first thing that catches the eye is the Pure White appearance, as the name suggests. The pure white housing, combined with the subtle gray accents on the ear pads and headband, gives off a sophisticated look. The design, with no excessive boldness, blends seamlessly into any space, adding an elegant touch just by placing it on a desk.
Not only does it look good, but the materials also show a high level of attention to detail. The ear pads and headband are made of soft suede fabric, which adds a luxurious feel to the appearance, and their smooth and soft texture provides a comfortable fit for long listening sessions. The overall craftsmanship reflects the high-quality standards that’s typical of German products.

Innovative Technology "S-Logic 3" for a Natural Soundstage

The core acoustic technology behind ULTRASONE's sound is S-Logic 3. By carefully designing the placement of the drivers, the sound is naturally reflected by the ear, allowing it to reach the eardrum in a more organic way. This significantly reduces the typical sensation of sound coming from inside the head, creating a natural and three-dimensional soundstage, almost as if listening through speakers.
When I tested it, I was amazed by the natural sound expansion and the depth that’s uncommon in closed-back headphones. In orchestral music, the spatial relationships between instruments become clear, giving a concert hall-like realism. In jazz, the sense of positioning is so accurate that it feels like you're right there in the live venue. This natural soundstage not only enhances immersion in the music but also makes it easier on the ears for extended listening sessions, which is truly a testament to ULTRASONE’s expertise.

Balanced and Detailed Sound

The core of the sound lies in the large-diameter 50mm Mylar driver housed in the headphones. It faithfully reproduces input signals with powerful, distortion-free, and clear sound. The sound tuning is impressively balanced across the entire frequency range, without emphasizing any specific band.
The bass maintains a solid presence with clear contours and tightness that provides a firm foundation to the music. The midrange offers a realistic texture to vocals and instruments, capturing even the subtle nuances with precision. Vocals are easy to follow, and the separation between instruments is excellent. The treble is clear and expansive. Cymbals and metallic sounds shimmer, yet the sharpness is softened, recreating an open and airy atmosphere.
Overall, the high resolution of the sound combines with a tuning that makes music enjoyable, and it seems to bring out the best in any genre.

Comfortable for Long Listening Sessions

The Signature PURE WHITE not only excels in sound quality but also in comfort. When worn, the clamping force is neither too strong nor too weak, providing a stable and comfortable fit.
The headpad is designed to distribute pressure across the top of the head, making the overall weight of the headphones less noticeable. The large suede ear pads fully cover the ears and offer excellent noise isolation and a soft, pleasant feel. The breathable construction helps prevent discomfort, even during long listening sessions or extended use, making it suitable for hours of work or music enjoyment.

Versatile Connectivity and Wide Range of Uses

The Signature PURE WHITE is designed to accommodate modern listening environments, offering versatile connectivity options. The detachable cable includes a standard 3.5mm stereo mini plug, as well as a 4.4mm 5-pin balanced plug, allowing you to connect to various devices ranging from smartphones and computers to high-resolution DAPs and professional audio interfaces. When using the balanced connection, you can experience an even clearer and wider soundstage. With its versatile connectivity, natural soundstage thanks to S-Logic 3, and well-balanced sound, the Signature PURE WHITE is not only ideal for music listening but also perfect for DTM mixing and monitoring, as well as gaming.

Summary

The ULTRASONE Signature PURE WHITE is a closed-back headphone that seamlessly combines a sophisticated design, ULTRASONE's signature high-quality acoustic performance, and comfortable usability. With its natural soundstage and well-balanced, high-resolution sound, it delivers an exceptional listening experience across various settings. The limited edition nature of this model also adds to its appeal, and it offers exceptional value for its price, making it an excellent choice for music lovers, musicians who don't want to compromise on sound quality, and gamers who prioritize immersion.
