New Head-Fier
Pros: size, build and sound quality
Cons: remote
I recently purchased the stealth dc-1 as an all around solution to my akg k702 annies and emotiva stealth 8 speakers after my desk was getting cluttered with equipment. This device has cleaned my desk up tremendously without sacrificing anything. My main concern when buying the dc-1 was how it would do with my k702s but it powers them perfectly. I came from the o2+odac and the only thing I noticed was the slight bass increase which is fine with me since I'm mainly using them to play games like bf4. One thing I will add is that I have had amazing support from Emotiva as a company. I bought this shortly before the sale started and they were happy to refund me the 200$ it dropped. For 500$, this thing is a steal. My main gripe with the entire system is the remote. Although its completely solid metal, when adjusting the volume, one click only changes the volume .25 and and you have to hold it down for a good second then it changes around 2.00 very quickly. I wish it was more leveled out. I'm either changing the volume very slowly or very fast. Other than that, I find the dc-1 to be an amazing buy.

New Head-Fier
Pros: Great for all types of music and gaming
Cons: Cant think of any
I bought these awhile back to mainly use for gaming and music on my pc. This is my first set of "real" headphones so my opinion on here is probably is probably not as valid as others but i will say i absolutely love this set of cans. I came from owning gamer headphones like the steelseries 7h and sennheiser pc 363d because i really just didnt know any better. I finally started to move away from gaming but i still wanted something i could use for gaming occassionally but for my main use to be music. I started to do some research online and decided to take the dive and purchased these headphones on amazon for 350$ and i can say it was money well spent. Im not gonna get into all the technical terms that everyone uses on here.. but my music collection sounds great. I dont find the bass lacking at all.. but to be just right. I paired this with an O2+ODAC and that makes these headphones sound amazing. I often thought about buying the hd600 and i might someday.. but these have been seriously awesome everyday use headphones. Im always showing off songs through these things to my roommates and they get a huge grin on their face. On a side note.. these things are incredibly comfortable. I love how they dont clamp onto your head.. but just kind of rest there. Its seriously like putting your head between two pillows. I highly recommend these headphones!

Well. The price is going up I think. The last time I checked on Amazon these are just about just more than $300 but now they are more than $400.
