Greatest deal for 130$ Ever

The S.M.S.L SH8 is crazy good for the money (paired with Beyer 700 PRO X, Sundara closed back, running it with Topping E50 Dac with a dedicated Linear HIFI PSU), more than twice the power, livelier dynamics, less harsh and more resolving highs, and much deeper bass (if you are a bass head like me😁) than it's younger brother as shown in the picture, highly recommended

Sound 5 stars Powers my Sennheiser hd650 nicely I have had headphone amplifiers that have nicer feeling switches, and a nicer feeling volume knob. But I haven’t had a headphone amplifiers that sounds better, and that is what matters.

Great sound, plenty of power

Handles a lot of different headphones with ease, from 32 ohm dynamic drivered cans to dt880 600ohms. Only headphone it doesnt seem to agree with is my vintage akg k340s, but i cant find anything that agrees with them anyway.

Clean sound

I bought this because of the low price and was happy that it sounds so good. I have it powering hd6xx, Sundara, Argon MK3 and hd58x, just to name a few. With a balanced hook-up those cans sound sublime. Excited about my purchase.
