With DAC ONLY Pros: It didn’t shock me!! Average sounding headphone.  Comfortable to wear and lightweight Cons: Bass – Hey, I can hear some bass.  Quality of bass is below average. (5/10) Sharp highs – It doesn’t heart my ears but a little too sharp (5.5/10) Mids – a little bit muddy (6.75/10)     DAC & AMP (Tube) – Additional Comments Pros: Warmth of Amp flattened the sound – Highs became more bearable.   (still sound bad) Cons: Bass – became more muddy, worse sounding (4/10) Highs – became flat – 5/10 (Still muddy) Mids – very flat...

With DAC ONLY Pros: Best sounding headphone so far.   Sounds well balanced. Comfortable to wear and lightweight Mids – Cleaner and neat – (7.5/10)   Highs – Not too overbearing – Clean but not crisp.

With DAC ONLY Pros: Tom Drums crisp and noticeable. Mids – Average (7/10)   Highs – not too overbearing (not too harsh but decent at best 6/10) It came with a pretty nice looking case.
