Reply to Anyone every try these cheap Chi-Fi headphone tube amps? More info in Comments by ThatsPurttyGood101

From what I’ve heard cheap tube amps are a fire hazard. I have no experience with tube amps, my only amp is my Apple dongle but cheap tube amps are generally advised against wherever I go

What you’re describing sounds like what the marketing team says for the HD600… however I can not speak for the HD600 unfortunately

Yeah, that’s one of the things that pulls people to headphones. Comfort is also a factor. Also a good set of headphones just feels so much more substantial than a pair of in ears

Yeah over ears tend to sound better(if you just think that sound is sound then you are either not educated or have damaged hearing). High end headphones sound like the music is coming from speakers instead of headphones. Truly an exceptional experience

So an IEM is an In Ear Monitor, which is like an earbud but it seals off the ear canal. This was originally intended to be used by musicians onstage but audiophiles have found them, they’re quite great
