Verdict

The Ultrasone Edition 5 is a luxury closed-back dynamic headphone featuring a 40mm titanium-plated driver, 5 Hz to 46,000 Hz frequency response, and S-Logic EX technology for an expansive, natural soundstage within a 280g ruthenium-coated chassis. It boasts exceptional transparency and low 32-ohm impedance for portability, though it is limited by a high-priced, 'treble-hot' sound signature and modest isolation. Handcrafted in Germany, it features Ethiopian long-haired sheep leather for comfort, with ULE technology reducing magnetic emissions.
