52X MORE POWER. PUMP UP THE VOLUME.
Laptops and smartphones have a really low power output of <1.0v. On a good set of headphones, you’re always running out of juice. You never get to really hear what they can do.
Use a laptop, phone, or DAC to feed your music to the ZEN CAN and connect your headphones. Pumping out 52x more power, now you’ll hear what you have been missing.
BALANCED TO THRILL
The ZEN CAN has trickle-down Class A discrete balanced circuitry from iFi audio’s $1,699 flagship Pro iCAN. With 15.1v @300 Ohms on tap, it has serious power that will make even difficult-to-drive headphones thump to the beat.
Class A discrete output buffer from the flagship Pro iCAN using Op-Amp (OV2637A)
FET input avoids loading volume control – low distortion/noise
Low impedance feedback circuit enhances circuit performance with no resistor noise
Output amplifier gain of four steps in +6dB perfect for headphone matching
PUTS YOU AT THE VENUE. NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND.
Audio recordings are made for speakers and when played back on headphones, the sound is always driving you nuts by being only in your head.
Our 3D special sound circuit solves this:
The stereo image that is truly out of your head, in front with height, width & depth
Without colouration or loss of resolution
All analogue circuitry (i.e. without costly and complex digital signal manipulation)
Satisfies all listeners.
ACE OF XBASS
Behind XBass is our active EQ circuit which meets a common gripe with headphones head-on, a lack of bass.
Open-back headphones in particular, let all frequencies (especially those precious bass frequencies that the drivers generate so little of) leak freely out of the back instead of trapping and redirecting them back to your ears.
XBass equalization is a much more elegant solution to bass correction than seen elsewhere. It consists of active and passive components and its frequency response curve corrects their low-end response problems with precision.
PACKED WITH PREMIUM GOODNESS
Underpinning the Balanced and Active EQ circuitry are:
Panasonic ECPU capacitors
TDK C0G (Class 1) ceramic capacitors
iFi/AMR ‘OV’ ‘Operationsverstärker’ series op-amps
MELF resistors
Texas Instruments low-noise ICs
muRata capacitors and
Tokyo Cosmos Electric Co. (TOCOS) multi-track potentiometer, with exceptional channel matching even at low volume

Best plug if you are traveling to France or Europe
Style: Type C/G/A-Most Countries-3FT
If you ever need a European plug, this is the one to get. I took it with me to France for a whole month and it was a life saver. I was able to plug all my electronics and also have no issues with the conversion of watts. Now that I have it I take it with me anytime I travel to Europe.

Perfect travel item!
This was so useful two of us were able to charge our phone at the same time and our extra battery pack. Perfect travel item should be a staple.

Great Buy
Style: Type C/G/A-Most Countries-3FT
Bought for trip to Italy. The long cord worked great as I had several things to charge and the side tables weren't big enough. This reached the floor and nothing was falling off tables. The plug fit snugly in the socket which was key as they tend to be loose there. Don't take your own hair dryer or curling iron, they burn out from the amperage there.

Fantastic adapter for international travel
Style: Type C/G/A-Most Countries-3FT
This adapter worked as intended when needing to charge devices in Europe. The adapter was easy to attach to the plug and the cord length came in handy for sockets that were in hard to reach locations. The only thing is it does take up some space in luggage, so make sure to account for that. Would definitely recommend for international travel.
