Thanks! Actually its my first decent headphones. Before it, I have been using in-ear headphones which came with my note5. They are great as well apart from stupid design which doesnt let me enjoy their full potential.
I am quite uninitiated with the terminology used by audiophiles so cant really review them like they deserve. But so far they have been awesome. Bass is there and tight; not too boom boom type which destroys the vocals... sound is clear and loud (w/o any amp & dac etc) and they are very comfortable.

There is always a DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) :wink2:

DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) is a processor that converts digital signals into analog signals. These days audio is generally in digital form on our PC, Phone tablets, MP3 players, online etc. On the other hand audio output devices like Headphones and speakers are analog devices. DAC converts that digital data into analog signals so that it can be played on analog devices like headphones and speakers.

Those dedicated DACs costing hundreds of dollars are just better quality units than the ones built-in in our phones, PC etc.

Thanks for the info. [emoji106]
Can the DACs in phones (high-end ones) handle HD audio?

Modern high end phones have good quality DACs. HTC One series and Samsung Galaxy S and Note series phones with Exynos processor (as it has Wolfson DAC) are considered good audio playback devices. iPhones used to be leaders in audio reproduction department but iPhone 6 and 6s aren't as good as older iPhones (5s, 4s) in this regard. These modern phones can handle high quality FLAC files. However, to run good quality headphones they do benefit from external AMP

Can you recommend a good amp to go with my devices? I have note5 (exynos one) and iPod 4th gen alongwith note5 stock in-ear headphones and this sony one.
