My best headphones to date

By Avery H.

These headphones sound great. My previous go to was my JBL Chrome which sounded far better than the price tag would suggest. The HiFiMan, which should be no shocker considering the price difference, is far better. To anyone who may not be aware, this product is power hungry. Don't expect to use it with your phone or pc (in fact you can't without an adapter or new cables). You will need a headphone amp to run them. I've tried them using my Peachtree integrated stereo and they sound amazing. I...'ve tried them from my ipad and they sound horribly under powered. Also they are open headphones so do not expect to use these in public as they will be heard by everyone. My only complaint would be that it does not come with a case to store it in and it doesn't come with cables for smaller inputs. I suspect both of these issues are because they want you using them only at home and through a receiver. That is fine, but if you own a portable headphone amp then you will need to get a new cable or an adapter.
