ULTRASONE has taken technology developed for larger professional studio headphones and equipped the mobile iCans with functional S-Logica Natural Surround Sound. This technology enables you to listen to the music your iPod or MP3 player includes as if you are listening to speakers several meters away. The S-Logica technology also allows an up to 40% lower dB output (3-4 dB) for the same loudness sensation. This may significantly reduce the risk of hearing damage - an absolute must if you spend a lot of time in headphones.

 What a joke September 16, 2008

From the description on Amazon....Sleek design offers contemporary styling, amazing comfort (if you like tight head squeezing fit) and security
Completely adjustable,( what adjustability, fits in the top of my ear not the center and their is no adjustment) these headphones fit snug on your head and have hinged arms that fold for safe transportation in stylish metal case. They do look good, but if you want to return them it will cost you shipping PLUS 15% restocking fee from the seller,DataVision Computer Video
Not quite worth the price to return them if you're going to lose $15 or more for headphone that are just average, but "they do look good".
Sound quality is no better than my JVC 10 year old stereo headset. You can't move the top headband anywhere, because it is a solid piece of plastic with heavy tension to spring back in place.
I guess the i cans come in a can because thats where they will spend most of their time.
 iCans are Great Cans! July 27, 2008
Robert Ferguson (San Francisco, CA USA)
I am amazed at the detail that these cans pick up. I can hear Glenn Gould humming to himself while he's playing the Goldberg Variations by Bach. They are also very comfortable to wear and collapsible, too. Also, your price of $69.99 was a real bargain. These cans usually sell for $129.99. The iCans are the best ones for the price.
 Unfortunately The Sound Does't Quite Match The Looks April 30, 2008

I'd love to give these a five star rating on the design alone. They bling like no other headphones, however it doesn't stop there. Like the other Ultrasone's I have they are beautifully presented, but the iCans have a wow factor of their own.
The only downside is the midrange, which is recessed. The treble is very domineering, but the midrange sounds out of sync with the rest of the frequency range.
Even with that said, it doesn't make me love them any less, and I'm glad I have them, but I wouldn't expect anyone else to feel the same as I do.
These are only for those who really want the bling factor, or hardened Ultrasone fans. I fall into the latter.

wow what a bad purchase this was. They are as non functional as they are hideous, and they are hideous. The sound quality was good, but anyone within earshot (which doesn't have to be far) can hear nearly at the same volume as the wearer. I returned these immediately and bought a pair of Bose, which I'm extremely happy with.
Stay away.

These headphones are phenomenal. They provide such amazing sound quality. And they also reduce the risk of hearing loss, which is now a much bigger issue for this iPod generation. Remember that 5-30 minute ear popping you got after those in-ear Apple headphones that usually broke and started playing the bass all funny? 'Tis a thing of the past. The only downside of this is that everyone around you can hear it if it's too loud, which is probably going to provide more sense to turn it down, reducing the dB exposure to the eardrums even more than 40%. And the bass, treble, and every other sound you can thing of comes in cleaner than it did in the studio. I've heard that Ultrasone's more expensive products have even better performance, but I'm not sure that's even possible.
