I bought the Darkvoice hoping to acquire a comfortable level of hearing for my Sennheiser. So it's a low impedance listening headphones and I must admit that I have never been impressed with this pair of headphones regardless of which amplifier I plugged. I own a pair of Seinnheiser HD 555 so the features place the impedance at 50 ohms.

I would first like to apologize for the quality of my English, it is not a language that I mastered well, but I felt challenged by this present post because I myself own the Darkvoice 336 SE since soon two years. You don’t get fidelity or reliability or reason, and you never know when it’s going to blow up. It’s like that bad relationship we’ve all had at one time or another. But I’ve enjoyed few audio purchases lately as much as the DV, in the sense that I’m listening to more music, not just through the DarkVoice, and better appreciating it. This is a science forum, and I’m completely on board with good engineering, reliability, safety and rationality. The DV has completely addressed all my subjective gripes with them. When I first got my Sennheisers, I was a little disappointed - they sounded a little bland and reserved. Whether it’s the harmonic distortion patterns or any frequency aberrations, the music sounds very much alive and immediate.

You could fry an egg on it after an hour or two.īut, with my high-impedance Sennheiser 6xx headphones, there is something about the sound quality that’s very attractive to me. In some ways the DV is a real pain - about half the 6SN7 types I try give very high levels of hum, even with the volume all the way down! The gain available on this amp is ridiculous I can’t turn it up more than a quarter of the way. Thanks Amir, I own and enjoy the DarkVoice, and I thought your review was very accurate and even-handed.
