Hands-on review · Closed-back flagship
Verdict
The Ultrasone Edition 15 Veritas is a closed-back flagship that feels lighter than its 320g, sounds well balanced, but needs a good amp and has only unbalanced cables.
stereonet.com
15/01/2021
Listening test · Closed-back flagship
Verdict
The Ultrasone Edition 15 Veritas is a warm, precise closed-back with vocals up front, though its stage is narrower than open-backs and it needs more power.
headphonesty.com
03/09/2021
Long-term review · Closed-back flagship
Verdict
The Ultrasone Edition 15 Veritas is a top-tier closed-back with controlled deep bass and clear vocals, but its treble is slightly rolled off and it needs a good amp.

Listening test · Closed-back flagship
Verdict
The Ultrasone Edition 15 Veritas is a comfortable, well-isolating closed-back with crisp mids, but its top end is a touch harsh and less airy than the original.

Verdict
The Ultrasone Edition 15 Veritas is a closed-back headphone with detailed, airy sound and comfortable pads, best with clean recordings and a strong headphone amp.

Verdict
The Ultrasone Edition 15 Veritas is a detailed, musical closed-back headphone that reveals weak recordings and needs a strong amp to shine.

Listening test · Closed-back flagship
Verdict
The Ultrasone Edition 15 Veritas is a dynamic, comfortable closed-back that suits any genre, but it needs a separate amp and blocks little outside noise.

Ultrasone Edition 15 Veritas Review
(Translated)Show original

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Ultrasone Edition 15 Veritas

  • Exceptional build quality featuring premium materials like American cherry wood, stainless steel, and Merino leather.
  • Highly detailed and muscular midrange that excels at vocal and acoustic instrument reproduction.
  • Effective sound isolation due to the closed-back design and high-quality leather pads.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for long sessions, weighing only 320g and featuring memory foam padding.
  • Controlled and punchy bass response that provides depth without becoming boomy.
  • Luxurious unboxing experience with a high-end leather display and storage case.
  • S-Logic EX technology provides better spatial accuracy and imaging compared to many closed-back competitors.

What customers don't like about Ultrasone Edition 15 Veritas

  • Extremely high price point that places them in the 'luxury indulgence' category.
  • Treble response can be polarizing, sometimes described as rolled-off or prone to sharpness depending on the source.
  • Heavily dependent on high-quality amplification and source pairing to reach full potential.
  • Sparse accessory package for the price, notably missing a balanced cable.
  • Soundstage is more intimate and 'front-row' rather than expansive compared to open-back alternatives.
  • Proprietary LEMO connectors can make finding aftermarket balanced cables more difficult and expensive.

Verdict

The Ultrasone Edition 15 Veritas is a high-end, closed-back dynamic headphone featuring a 40mm Gold-Titanium Compound (GTC) driver and patented S-LogicEX technology for enhanced spatial imaging. Technical specifications include a wide frequency response of 5Hz–48kHz, an impedance of 40 ohms, a sensitivity of 94dB, and a lightweight build of 320g utilizing premium materials like American cherry wood earcups and Merino sheepskin leather pads. Its main pros are exceptional midrange clarity, punchy and controlled bass, and a luxurious, comfortable design with magnetically attached ear pads. However, common cons include a lack of upper-treble airiness compared to open-back models, extreme dependency on high-quality amplification, and the absence of a balanced cable in the standard accessory package.
