We tend to really like Ultrasone headphones, but for a lot of folks, they're just a little too pricey. Well, the Germany-based Ultrasone has realized it needs a more-portable--and affordable--pair of headphones that will appeal to iPod owners on the go.

Enter Ultrasone Zino, which features an on-the-ear, fold-up design and some snazzy chrome trim. The headphones are due to hit Amazon next month and will retail for a somewhat reasonable US$129.99.

Recently, we got an early listen to the Zinos and were impressed with what we heard in the limited time we spent with them. They delivered punchy bass and good detail, and they felt quite comfortable. We look forward to reviewing them for real in a few weeks.

We're currently waiting for a reply from Ultrasone's distributor about the availability of the Zino in Asia.
