Agree! I'm really surprised at the sound quality of this little toy like gadget. The sound out of the headphone jack is very good, but I found that the sound quality is even better when it serve as a DAC only. I let it lineout to a dedicated desktop amp, and I am even more surprised at the...

Hi,    Currently I own an Audio-GD Compass, and use it to pair with my Bayer DT990/600 ohm. The sound is fine for me, but sometimes I feel like the sound is not that alive. I'm thinking about an upgrade from my Compass, but I don't know which direction should I go first, buy a better DAC or...

Got my Sparrow for several days. It is fantastic! I think it is pretty competitive even comapring to Compass. I tried it with my DT990/600, and it works pretty fine with sufficient power. Now I pairing it with my DT770/80 in my office, and it works really great. Love this tiny device!!

Good review. However, I think you should add Senn HD25-1 II into your comparison, and I believe the ranking order will definitely change~

Quote: Agree! Hd 25-1 II is a pair of very good headphones at this price range.

I have both k81dj and HD25-1 II. In fact, they are in totally different leagues. HD25-1 II is a lot better than K81dj in every aspect. K81dj has punchy but muddy bass, and it doesn't have good transparency and instrument separation.

I have a stock HD25-1 II with steel cable and heard P5 from an Apple store. The truth is, stock HD25 dominates P5 in every sound related aspects without an amp, regardless of the design and aesthetics. HD25-1 II is a pair of headphones that simply can provide you impressive sound even without an...

Hi, I currently use a Corda headfive to power my HD25-1 II and DT770 Pro 80ohm. I'm thinking about upgrade to a better amp, but my budget is limited to be under $300. I can accept either tube amp or SS amp. Also, I have a Musiland monitor 01 US as my DAC, so I don't care if it includes DAC...

For bass, DT 770 Pro/80 ohm version is a really good choice.

IMO I think DT770 is quite well for listening to pop music. Even though its bass is not that tight, but I like the beat it provides. However, I've never heard from other beyers, so my opinion may not be appropriate for you.

Totally agree with the HD25-1 II. This small and ugly pair of headphones sounds incredibly well!!

I also got a D2 from a Head-fier. I enjoy it a lot with my HD25-1 II by listening to music from my laptop. They are really matched to each other!! I just bought a DT770 80ohm version, hope it will work great with my D2.

Hi, I currently own a Denon C751. Can anyone tell me that getting a RE0 is a straight upgrade from C751 or not? I need some advice. Thanks!!
