ULTRASONE HFI 580 HEADPHONES
(THE ULTRASONE HFI-580 IS IDENTICAL TO THE ULTRASONE DJ1 EXCEPT FOR THE COLOR)
Ultrasone HFI-580 headphones give you an incredible, well-isolated monitoring and listening experience in a comfortable, foldable design. Closed headpones can produce a perception that the sound source is in the center of your head, but not the HFI-580. Using improved S-Logic Plus technology, these 'phones give you an incredibly "room-like" sound sensation. Plus, the sound quality and perceived loudness allow you to use these headphones at substantially lower volume, reducing the risk of hearing loss. Get quality, convenience, and highly accurate sound with the HFI-580 headphones!

Open sound in isolation
HFI-580 Professional headphones offer great closed-back isolation without giving up the honest sound of an open headphone. Sensitive gold plated drivers provide a maximum of transparency. With S-Logic Plus technology, the sound is perceived in front, beside, and behind you. SPL's are reduced up to 40 percent. These headphones are ideal for studio, sound-reinforcement, and DJ applications, as well as DVD and general music enjoyment.
S-Logic Plus Natural Surround Sound
Through the S-Logic Plus Natural Surround Sound the usual headphone sound will be moved out of the head in the room around you. The sound is no longer locked in, but appears broad and detached. With Ultrasone's HFI-580, directions and distances can be heard and perceived; it's just like being in a live concert. Additional equipment is not required.
Safer hearing
In addition, the HFI-580 'phones are easy on the ears: The S-Logic Plus Natural Surround Sound System allows an up to 40 percent lower dB output (3-4 dB) for the same loudness sensation, greatly reducing the potential for hearing damage.
Reduced magnetic field emissions
Like all Ultrasone products, HFI-580 headphones offer substantially reduced radiation. The standard version LE (Low Emission) offers a reduction of approximately 50 percent in comparison with ordinary headphones.
Great for home applications
Ultrasone HFI-580 headphones are developed from the studio sector and are distinguished by a frequency response especially tuned for DVD. Sophisticated home film, video, and music enthusiasts enjoy the experience of wearing headphones that give the impression of listening to speakers several feet away from your head. Gamers also appreciate the HFI-580's 3D quality.
Extended low frequency range
The low frequency ranges of the Ultrasone HFI-580's are extended in order to accomodate the frequency response found in DSP systems such as Dolby Headphone and Yamaha Silent Cinema.
Foldable earcups
The Ultrasone HFI-580 'phones enable you to fold back and up the individual earpiece without removing these headphones from your head, allowing you to connect immediately with the "outside world" whenever you need to. Because of this folding mechanism also allows easy storage and convenient transportion in a suitcase.

Limited warranty for iCans (including white, Naos, Okta and Aurum) and the HFI-450 will be one (1) year from date of original retail purchase. One year warranty for iCans will take effect on 7/1/07 and apply to all iCans purchased on or after that date. If this Product is determined to be defective during the warranty period, the Company will, at its sole option, (1) repair the defective Product at no charge, using new or refurbished replacement parts, (2) exchange the defective Product with a Company product that is new or that has been manufactured from new or serviceable used parts and that is at least functionally equivalent to the original Product, or (3) refund the original purchase price paid by you for the Product. When a Product or part thereof is exchanged, any replacement item becomes your property and the replaced item becomes the Company’s property. When a refund is given, your Product becomes the Company’s property.
What Is Not Covered by This Limited Warranty
As indicated above, only the Product’s headband, earcups, cables (including adapters) and internal components are covered by this warranty. The Product’s other components or accessories including earpads, headpad, carrying bag, demo CD, etc. are not covered under the limited warranty. In addition, this limited warranty does not apply to any non-Company hardware product even if packaged or sold with the Product.
This limited warranty does not apply: (1) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, negligence, act of God, misapplication, or any non-Company product; (2) to damage caused by service performed by anyone other than the Company; (3) to a product or a part that has been modified or altered without the written permission of the Company; or (4) with respect to any defect which is attributable to any failure or damage which is beyond the reasonable control of the Company. It will be the sole discretion of the Company whether or not damage is accidental and will not be covered by the warranty.
This limited warranty applies only to new Products purchased from Ultrasone of America LLC or an authorized reseller. Warranty coverage will be provided only to the original retail purchaser. Transfer of any Product through any unauthorized distributor or retail seller renders this limited warranty null and void. Any Product sold by a private party or unauthorized distributor or retail seller is sold on an “as is” and “with all faults” basis, and as such the entire risk as to the quality and performance of such Product will be with the buyer. It will be the sole discretion of the Company to say whether or not a distributor, retail seller or other outlet in an authorized reseller or not.
Making a Warranty Claim and Returning a Product
If you desire to make a warranty claim, you must first obtain an RMA (a return merchandise authorization number) from the Company. You must obtain an RMA before the two (2) year warranty period expires. To obtain an RMA, you must fill out the repair form located on our website (http://www.ultrasoneusa.com/repair-form.php). The Company will then issue an RMA with all necessary instructions for returning the product. This number will be used as reference for this service issue and should be noted in all correspondence with the Company about said service issue.
Once you have obtained an RMA, you must return to the Company the Product for which you are seeking warranty service within thirty (30) days after the date you are provided you with the RMA. After thirty (30) days the RMA will expire and you must contact the Company in order to obtain a new RMA. Products shipped with an expired RMA will be refused and returned to the sender at their cost. Please return the Product in its original packaging with all of the following: (1) RMA clearly marked on the returned package; (2) a receipt or bill of sale showing proof of purchase from an authorized retail seller; (3) a copy of the email sent to you with your RMA and contact information; (4) a check made out to Ultrasone of America for fifteen (15) dollars to cover the cost of return shipping.
You are solely responsible for all costs associated with returning the Product to the Company, and the Company will not reimburse or compensate you for any such costs. This includes shipping, insurance, delivery confirmation, customs, duties and any other charges.
Note: If your headphone is found to be defective with the first thirty (30) days after purchase, we will wave the shipping costs and issue a return tag for the product in question. Proof of purchase within the last thirty (30) days must be provided before the return tag is issued.
After you have received an RMA from the Company and you have returned the Product to the Company for warranty service, the Company will determine if the Product is defective and whether or not it is still covered under the warranty. If the Product is determined to be out of warranty, the Company will contact you with an estimate before starting repairs.
