Pros: Tiny, excellent build quality, custom leather case, digital volume control

Justin and HeadAmp have done it again. The Pico Slim sounds awesome, and the amp is tiny tiny tiny.

  • I love the digital volume control.
  • The build quality is solid.
  • Did I already say that it's tiny?
  • Custom leather carrying case is an awesome touch for the anal bunch.
  • Sound is very balanced and open.

Pros: extremely small but amazing sq. volume control is excellent
Cons: not for full sized HP

I received #66; it is a great sounding little amp with great build quality as normal with Justin's work.  The volume adjustment is very accurate and provides precise control.   Battery life is excellent as well.   Unfortunately it's designed for IEMs and it demonstrates why I need to replace the SE530s with something with better low and top end.   Picked up a Nano and twag dock; the combination is very small and it does a very good job.

 

Update:

I ended up selling the Slim as I decided I didn't want to go down the J13 route.  I'm not a big fan of IEMs to begin with and I'd take a beating if I didn't have a good fitting pair so it wasn't worth the risk to try.  I decided to keep the original Pico instead as it can drive full sized cans very well and the difference in sound quality was negligible.

Pros: Digital Volume Control! size, battery life, sound quality and build quality of course!
Cons: Wow - Pricy!

First - I bought mine used - my complaint on price is based on new price of $400, though I guess it holds value...

 

OK, that's out of the way.  Justin at Headamp builds some of the highest quality hardware I have ever held in my hands - truly beautiful.

 

Sound quality is outstanding - close to wire with gain as I've heard.  I have yet to run the battery down before I get around to a recharge.

 


The volume control is second to none.  If you listen at low volume levels with sensitive headphones and iems, the Pico Slim is the best there is, and I've tried a few in my search.  It is literally indispensible to me.  If this last bit sounds like your listening requirements, I can't recommend the Pico Slim highly enough.
