Review on 🎧 Nobsound NS-08E: Superior Hi-Fi Valve Headphone Amplifier for Unparalleled Audio Performance by Jeff Bremmer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sounds absolutely incredible!

I am very impressed! With many great reviews, there have always been those few "dodgy" reviewers that sometimes make you wonder if you're willing to spend $50 on a "budget" tube amp. Well I have to tell everyone this is not a trick. This lamp amplifier is exactly what you need. There is never a hum, "empty" or metallic noise, even when the device is tapped. Of course you always hear something when you tap the tube with your fingernail, that's obvious. But seriously, no problem with other "noise”. Fits 6J1 tubes and sounds fantastic. I have connected different headphones. From Sennheiser HD660 to Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO to Skullcandy Crusher Evos. Everything sounds incredible. The sound in each earphone is very clear, the sound is very warm and I didn't find that classic harmonic distortion from the tubes overloaded or "unnatural". The Nobsound NS-08E balanced everything and gave every pair of headphones I used the decent sound and performance they demanded. Well done Nobsound. (Edit) So it just got even better! I'm ordering Riverstone Audio JAN 5654W vacuum tubes (military grade) and although they're a bit smaller than the Chinese 6J3 tubes, they sound AWESOME when they're blown. At night they really made the Nobsound NS-08E shine, it's a HUGE upgrade. And I strongly recommend everyone to replace the tubes that come with the device.

Pros
  • The improved circuitry can provide less background noise, stronger bass and brighter high frequencies.
Cons
  • Everything great
