    Noble Audio - Introducing KATANA

    Very curious to know why the Katana is priced higher than the Kaiser. According to Noble's Web site, the Kaiser is the flagship.   Why then, does the Katana Universal cost $200 more than the (flagship) Kaiser Universal?

    Thanks, Mumbles 119! I have not tried my H6 with a portable amp, but I would suspect you'll hear a substantial increase in bass (vs a standard built-in phone amp).

    Jensenchua, I have heard the P7. A very nice headphone!

    PRESS RELEASE: Bang & Olufsen announces BeoPlay H3 and H6 headphones

    Amplification makes a big difference with the H6. Plugged into a dedicated amp (like the Schiit Asgard 2), it absolutely shines. The bass is really very textured. In-store demos don't do the H6 justice. Also, I've found that the bass opens up after a few weeks.  Side note: I just picked up...

    I am using a 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter, but I've noticed that some adapters don't work because of the H6 cable's TRRS plug. For example, I bought a cheap adapter from Best Buy that was TRS instead of TRRS, and I heard tons of input from the cable's microphone. The specific adapter that worked for...

      The Sennheiser Momentum has more pronounced bass (when paired with a smartphone), but the bass is less precise than that of the H6. You may also want to check out the KEF M500.

    PRESS RELEASE: Bang & Olufsen announces BeoPlay H3 and H6 headphones

      The H6's bass is very accurate and very neutral, and the tiny, weak amp of an iPhone can't make the H6's bass come alive. It still sounds very good with an iPhone, mind you, but when paired with a real headphone amp, the H6 is best-in-class, and IMO sounds better than any other $400...

    Quote:   Thank you, Thalik! Amplification makes a HUGE difference with some headphones, it seems, while some headphones aren't that sensitive to amplification. The HD800 is a prime example of a headphone that is very amp-sensitive.  Re: compactness, I agree. The fact that the H6 folds...

    Quote:   Thank you! You have excellent taste in music, my friend. If you can find Avalon on SACD for a reasonable price, buy it. It's the best SACD remaster I've ever heard. Unbelievably beautiful. Unfortunately, it's out of print and used copies sell for as much as $300!
