Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Compared with a random €65 used closed-back, this is fair to slightly good value if the pads, cable, and drivers are healthy; for an older Ultrasone iCans, that’s not a throwaway price, but it’s also not a steal unless condition is unusually clean. Without a stronger market comp on this exact model, I’d treat €65 as a reasonable ask rather than a bargain, and only push harder if the listing includes the case or confirms light use.

The appeal here is the Ultrasone house sound: lively, spacious presentation and decent detail for the money, with the iCans being a fun vintage portable/over-ear option for someone who wants something a little more characterful than generic mass-market cans. That makes it a worthwhile buy for a collector or listener who values the brand’s tuning more than absolute neutrality. At this age, the big things to check are pad wear, headband condition, and whether the cable and both channels are clean and stable.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Ultrasone

Ultrasone is a German headphone specialist founded in 1991 in Wielenbach, Bavaria, with its origin story tracing back to headphone research begun in 1985; some company materials also credit founder Florian M. König. It is a comparatively focused brand rather than a broad hi-fi manufacturer, and its identity has long been tied to private-label craftsmanship and German engineering.

The company is known primarily for headphones, especially closed-back and circumaural designs, rather than for amplifiers, speakers, turntables, DACs, or cables. Ultrasone built its reputation around proprietary ideas such as S-Logic and ULE (Ultra Low Emission), which it used to differentiate its headphones in both consumer and professional audio.

In the market, Ultrasone sits in the niche premium-to-high-end segment: it is not a mass-market brand, but a specialist maker with a strong identity among headphone enthusiasts and audio professionals. Its products have historically emphasized technical novelty, German manufacture, and a distinct sonic presentation, which gives it a boutique appeal without being purely vintage or collector-oriented.
