Customer Reviews
I was buying HE400SE and I was confused between Zen Air DAC and Air Can,
I went ahead with the Zen Air Can as I already had a clean DAC (iPhone USB-c dongle). It provides enough power to run my HE400SE on the low gain at 2'o clock.
While HE400SE isn't power hungry, when you EQ it, it adds -6.2db pre-gain which makes them really hard to drive. After EQing I have to use high gain which is why I am thankful I went with Zen Air Can instead of DAC.
The Amp is really clean. I tried using it with Moondrop CHU and I cannot hear any noise out of it. Moondrop CHU is a very sensitive IEM and will pickup the noise very easily if it Exists.
Features: Xbass+ and Xspace really work. And if you have an Open back headphone, you will love X-bass+ as they add the low-end rumble most open back lack.
Do i recommend it? Yes. For 7-9k INR, I think it is the best AMP for the buck and should be a part of your budget build. 1.2W will power most headphones.
Hey there, nothing makes us happier than knowing you loved your purchase, hope you had a comfortable shopping experience and thank you for the great review and ratings!
What shall I begin with, it brought next level power to my DT 990 250 ohms compared to my previous DAC AMP "FX-AUDIO" DAC-X6. All I can say it sounds amazing, even tested the Sennheiser HD598 simply loving it. Its one of those gems in market under 100$ range which simply does what it says. Sounds better with RCA cables as input than 3.5 jack (Single ended) as input. After using different Sample rate and bit depths, 24bit 96000 Hz(studio Quality) sounds best.
Recommended for 300 ohms impedance headphones.
Warm sounding with crisp clarity, no distortion noticed at different gain settings and volume levels. I can finally enjoy the Jon Hopkins - Insides on 990 now. This desktop amplifier does matches the power of its predecessor IFi Zen can and at half the price. If you are not looking for balanced output just go for it, yet they provide 4.4mm slot.
I use to miss the enjoyable sibilance in DT 770 due to lack of power and now it's back.
Using Samsung mobile charger to power 5v 2a, tried Mi charger as well 5v 3a. Both works fine for DC current.
Xbass+ is fine but Xspace doesn't add up much to the sound, even felt like sometimes it killed the neutrality and warmth of sounds. Not recommended to use.
Hi there, we are so happy you took out time and elaborately reviewed the product. We are sure this will help our customers to make an even better and informed decision.
I connect my headphones (Beyerdynamics DT990 Pro 250 Ohm) to the PC using this as an amp. So here are my two cents.
Pros- 1. Effortlessly powers my 250 Ohm Dt 990 Pro
2. Premium looks-wise and quality-wise.
3. Has a 4.4 mm S-Balanced output
4. Analog volume knob
5. Gain control 0, 6, 9 db
6. Filters ground loop hums and no hissing sound even at max gain & max
volume.
7. No distortion or crackle sound while adjusting volume knob.
8. Xspace is quite good in increasing soundstage especially with dolby
atmos for headphones. Do check out "Tucker Zone" on Youtube with
these and good open back phones. Mind blowing.
9. Xbass is good for open back headphones having sub-bass roll off.
10. Beautiful to look at, imo.
Cons- 1. Why did Ifi not give a power adapter? They are cost cutting, but a not-so-costly adapter could have been tweaked for 5v 2.5 A without static noise and provided in the box.
2. Price is justified for the features, and if it lasts.
Overall, satisfied with the Zen Air Can and impressed by the fast 2 day delivery and prompt technical assistance by Headphone Zone.
Hi there, we are so happy you took out time and elaborately reviewed the product with a comparison. We are sure this will help our customers to make an even better and informed decision.

I am powering it up by Power Bank, so getting a portable experience.
Thanks for the review! We're glad you're enjoying your iFi Audio - ZEN Air CAN.
Works well, drives my HD6XX and Hifiman Sundara to distortion, this thing is that powerful. One thing to note, this amp does not come with an adapter, attaching any adapter to this did not work. It works only with the supplied power cable and the cable is pretty short in length, it's annoying. It's almost as if they made a proprietary power cable and i cannot replace it with something else if it ever goes bad.
