Ultrasone iCans  



Ultrasone iCans are relatively compact model designed specifically for portable use and obviously inspired by the iPod. What makes the iCans interesting and unique from other headphones on the market isn't the cool white design, but the technologies Ultrasone has used in making them.

The most significant of these is the company's S-Logic Natural Surround Sound, which bounces audio off the outer ear surfaces and into the ear canals, rather than projecting it directly into the canals. In theory, this more closely represents the phenomenon of listening to music being played out loud.

Although the iCans' large, fabric-covered earpads are quite comfortable but the plastic headband makes it pretty uncomfortable. Another sticking point is that the iCans' folding design is a bit awkward to use. You must remember to slide the earpieces back to their smallest setting (i.e. fully retracted) before you can rotate the earpieces flat for storage.

The sound quality is excellent and the S-Logic technology is compelling.
