Pros: • Comfortable to wear and lightweight
Cons: • Right earbud makes a clicking noise (that some earbuds make, when applying slight pressure to the earbud while it’s in your ear).
With DAC ONLY
Pros:
  1. Best sounding headphone so far.   Sounds well balanced.
  2. Comfortable to wear and lightweight
  3. Mids – Cleaner and neat – (7.5/10)  
  4. Highs – Not too overbearing – Clean but not crisp. Ok for long listening sessions. (6/10)
  5. Bass – Quality of bass is best I have heard so far - still average. (6/10)
 
Cons:
  1. Right earbud makes a clicking noise (that some earbuds make, when applying slight pressure to the earbud while it’s in your ear).  I notice some cheaper earbuds do this.  I think it’s the membrane inside flexing due to air pressure. Left earbud does not do this. Odd.
 

 
DAC & AMP (Tube) – Additional Comments
Pros:
  1. Warmth of Amp flattened sound again – But the headphone still sounded balanced.   This is the first headphone to handle the AMP warmth decently.
  2. Bass – still clear but got boomy – Handled as low as 30hz decently.  It is happy around 30 – 65hz.  It loses it around 20/25hz.   [actually got the earbud to shake a bit in my ear] (7/10)
  3. Highs – Stayed about the same – 6/10
Cons:
  1. Mids – Got lost a little with the warmth but decent still – 7/10

Pros: • Clean light weight look and feel. • Best sounding headphone so far. Sounds well balanced. • Comfortable to wear and lightweight
Cons: • Both earbuds earbud make a clicking noise (that some earbuds make, when applying slight pressure to the earbud while it’s in your ear).
With DAC ONLY
Pros:
  1. Clean light weight look and feel. 
  2. Best sounding headphone so far.   Sounds well balanced.
  3. Comfortable to wear and lightweight
 
Cons:
  1. 1$ more than the above earbuds.
  2. Audio sounds muffled and “echo-y”  [I am frantically checking my audio cables thinking something is wrong…. This sounds too horrible]
  3. Mids – as muddy and muffled – (4/10)  
  4. Highs – I hear them in the background. Are they there? (3/10)
  5. Bass – In basic rock songs you can kind of hear some bass… You really need to get a bass heavy song like Rap or Electronic music to get any type of bass.  [still frantically checking audio cables] (4.5/10)
  6. Both earbuds earbud make a clicking noise (that some earbuds make, when applying slight pressure to the earbud while it’s in your ear).  I notice some cheaper earbuds do this.  I think it’s the membrane inside flexing due to air pressure.   This is definitely noticeable and annoying with movement / when you yank on the cable.
  7. Earbuds themselves feel a little “cheap plastic-y”
 
DAC & AMP (Tube) – Additional Comments
Pros:
  1. Mids became poppy - I guess this is a slight improvement?  Not my taste but I guess it’s a bit more crispy, not clean though (5/10)
Cons:
  1. Bass – Calm but still not quality – Handled as low as 60hz decently.  It loses tone and flavor around 50hz.   (5/10)
  2. Highs – still sucked – 3/10
