Review on ๐ŸŽง Fosi Audio N2 Headphone Amplifier: Portable Amp with 3.5MM Gain & Bass Switch for HiFi Earphones - Powered Dual-Output, Compatible with iPhone, iPod, iPad, MP3, and Computers by Dustin Wright

Cannot drive HE4xx with home audio

This amp lags noticeably at high volume or when the bass is on. This is a sure sign that the raw power is not enough to drive the headset. Compared to the Schiit Magni the sound quality is terrible, compared to that I can't believe these are the same headphones. No, I'm not talking volume either, at the same volume the Magni has a lot more power and headroom, allowing for extremely deep, fat bass, a wide soundstage and controlled, buttery smooth mids and highs. All these factors sound like cheap headphones with this mobil fosi amplifier. However, if you've never had a decent amp then I think you'll be fine if you want a bit louder than your phone, but don't expect real SQ from the Hifiman 4xx, expect half the power. I'll probably buy a 3 amp portable power bank to pair with the Schiit Heel 2.
