Listen exclusively to the Hornet for several weeks, then switch to the headphone out. That's when you really hear the difference. The A/B switching can be tricky, especially when listening for that subtle, though important difference.

And I just tried again and always have the same findings: it is a small difference, but with the Hornet the sound becomes more natural (i.e. it sounds closer to reality, voices have more body, instruments more colour), a touch deeper and wider soundstage. But I do agree that with a noise and/or distractive environment this might become irrelevant. |
