There's always a downside to using headphones on a laptop, computer and smartphones due to the low power output, iFi has gone and designed the perfect workaround for this, the ZEN CAN headphone amplifier. iFi states that this little headphone amplifier dishes out 52x more power to let any phones you're using get to their max potential. Obviously complimentary to this is the fully-balanced circuitry and high-quality components to ensure low distortion and noise even at high volume levels. A neat little feature iFi has added is called XBass, what this does is bring back all those lost frequencies that open-backed headphones leak. It consists of active and passive components and its frequency response curve corrects their low-end response problems with precision.
