The Edition 8 Julia that i have sounds beautiful! Excellent soundstage, very nice sparkle and much clarity. Not harsh or boomy at all. I'm very happy with them and enjoy them a lot! I bought those second hand on ebay for around 450 euro. The mmcx connection isn't so good sometimes, but they're better sounding than my other headphones (Sennheiser HD650, Fostex Purpleheart, B&W P7 & B&O H6). But they needed some weeks burn in time though (they weren't used by the previous user for a long time) before they sounded so good. So they probably require some patience. I do think they're overpriced though. And the Trinity Master IEMs come close to the sound from the Ultrasone Edition 8 but they're much cheaper.

joostboonerIf the Edition 8 Julia was priced at 300-350$ then it could maybe compete with the mid-fi headphones. At over 1400$ it's just a pure scam. It doesn't sound THAT great, but that's subjective I guess...

CamperIVLet's not get carried away here and meet Ultrasone's insanity with anti-Ultrasone insanity of your own. There's no way the ED8's sound and feel the same as $300 headphones. Not even close.
Over $1,000 is pretty much outlandish for this product since it's so incredibly saturated on the open market where pristine condition used ones go for between $500-$700. If found for that price, they are a real deal. They sound pretty dang good, but 1.2k is definitely a rip off. Saying these things can "maybe compete with mid-fi" offerings makes you as laughable as Ultrasone's pricing department.
