Good grief! Why in the world would we spend so much time telling you about balanced headphone audio? You must know what it's like talking to people who've never experienced high-end sound: they just stare at you wondering what the heck you're talking about… wondering why someone would spend tens of thousands on a stereo. But you know they have no idea what they're missing. If only they could HEAR it; then they'd understand.
Well, we feel the same way when we try to explain high-end balanced headphone listening to audiophiles: they have no inkling that an intimate, exquisite, and, in some ways, superior ultra-high-end listening experience is available at a fraction of the price with a balanced headphone system compared to speaker-based rigs. So we spend the time needed to get the message out.
Whether you select the relaxed sound of the Sennheiser HD650, the right-down-the-middle punchy articulation of the AKG K701, or the clear and lively presentation of the Beyerdynamic DT880, you'll be simply amazed at how these headphones come fully alive under the control of a state-of-the-art HeadRoom balanced amplifier.

We currently offer three headphone amplifiers in Balanced configuration:
Balanced headphones require special cabling. Sennheiser and Cardas both offer recabling of the Sennheiser HD 650 and 600. You can purchase a new Cardas or Sennheiser headphone cable that can simply be plugged in to an existing headphone.

Custom recabling is available on:
Custom recabling means that HeadRoom will remove the 1/4" connection on these headphones and recable them to balanced connections.
