Recommended
We carry more than 300 products, and every one of them earns its place. But there are pieces we keep coming back to: because they are the reference in their price class, because they do something nobody else does, or because they simply would not let us go once we started listening. Those pieces carry our Recommended badge.
What "Recommended" means here
- Listened to ourselves. Every product on this page we have listened to over an extended period, compared against alternatives and sold to customers whose feedback we know.
- Curated by hand. No manufacturer placements, no clearance list, no algorithm. When something better arrives, the old one goes.
- Across all price classes. A €399 streamer can be a recommendation just as much as a €6,000 headphone – if it sets the standard in its class.
Headphones: open, closed, electrostatic
Among open planar magnetics the range runs from the Hifiman Arya Stealth as an entry into high-end, via the HE1000 Unveiled, to the Susvara – for many of our customers the end of the search. Add to that the characters you need to have heard: the Audeze LCD-X as a studio reference, the HEDDphone D1 with its carbon diaphragm, the Austrian Audio Composer, the Abyss Diana TC Signature and the hand-built Erzetich Charybdis. From the ZMF workshop in Chicago we recommend the Auteur Classic (open) and the Bokeh Closed – our best-selling closed headphone. And anyone curious about electrostatics starts with the Stax SR-L700 Mk2.
Amplifiers: tube or solid state
Tube sound without compromising everyday usability comes from the Feliks Audio Echo Vibe as the most affordable entry and the Cayin HA-3A one class up. On the solid-state side stand the Violectric HPA V324 from Germany and, as a reference without caveats, the Zähl HM1. The Warwick Acoustics Bravura System is a special case: a complete electrostatic system of headphone and amplifier, matched to each other.
DACs, streamers and sources
The Ferrum Wandla GSE is the converter we most often plug in ourselves; the Weiss DAC204 and the Rockna Wavelight show what lies beyond. The RME ADI-2 Pro EX combines converter, headphone amplifier and studio tool in one chassis. As an entry point we recommend the JDS Labs Element IV – DAC and amplifier in one, our best-selling device for years. Music arrives via the WiiM Ultra or, with a CD drive, the Eversolo Play CD Edition.
On the go
The Audma Brioso plays at a level you would not expect from a portable player – a full high-end setup for your pocket that drives even demanding headphones with authority.
Advice included
Which headphone suits which amplifier, whether a device fits your music and your listening room, or whether you really need the pricier model – just ask. We listen to these products every day and will tell you when the less expensive one is the better choice for you. Every recommendation can be tested at home at your leisure.
