By allowing you to reduce the volume to more comfortable parameters, theHi-Fi+ Product of the Year Award-winning iEMatch also restores dynamics, increases the transparency, significantly lessens background noise, and boosts the usable volume range. Comprised of aluminum-magnesium alloy and a 6N silver-copper matrix cable, iEMatch lets the signal transfer pass through as it should. Simply add iEMatchbetween your headphones and the amplifier, set it to high- or ultra-sensitivity, sit back, and marvel at how much more music you hear – and how much sound-degrading noise and irritating decibels are gone.

“It’s a deceptively simple, one-trick-pony that as soon as you see the need for it, you realize just how important it is in your life.”
