A pair of earbuds with six speakers and six individually-tuned drivers will be released in February in the Logitech Ultimate Ears 18 Pro Custom Monitors.
Two woofers, two midrange and two treble drivers are crammed into each earbud.
Designed for touring musicians, the monitors are capable of reducing ambient noise by 26 dBs – Logitech says they’re used by bands The Killers and Midnight Youth.
The new buds use four-way crossovers with acoustic and electrical tuning, patent-pending triple-sound channels and a low-distortion cable. Each sound channel includes an acoustically tuned in-line filter that keeps the frequencies separate and balanced until they blend naturally in the ear, rather than the monitor itself.
Logitech shapes the earbuds to fit each individual, making an exact replica of the wearers earhole.
Good sound is pricy, though, with new Ultimate Ears 18 Pros beginning at $2,675.
There are a few changes to this issue of Tone. We’ve said farewell to our fine cover girl in favour of some lads in white (it’s not a statement of preference, but the World Cup only comes around once every four years). In order to stimulate maximum creativity, our designer hasn’t slept since the last issue went to print, resulting in some crazy new fonts and unbelievably sleek breakout boxes possessing a level of sophistication not previously imagined. Like Saruman forging his army of fighting Uruk-Hai, we’ve dug new writers from the earth’s very gut, who now swarm across the world’s gadgets, crafting their infernal reviews. Though we’ve changed a little on the outside, we’re still the Tone you know and love on the inside. As always, we’re committed to providing the latest technology news and the best, unbiased, independent reviews of hot new products – and that’s never going to change. Enjoy.
