With great power, comes great hiss
Many headphones and in particular, IEMs are high-sensitivity in nature. This coupled with the relative high-power of modern Smartphones, (never mind dedicated headphone amplifiers) and listening enjoyment is heavily compromised as 'loudness and/or hiss' becomes excessive. Making listening fatigue an all too common issue.
The solution: Source > iEMatch > Headphones
By inserting the iEMatch in between the Smartphone/Source and the Headphones, the result is sound quality that has greater warmth, resolution and dynamic contrast.
