5/5

posted Oct-30-2005

The headroom website is well layed out and highly informative. After reading reviews on a popular website that is easily findable witha quick google I decided that the extra money spent on the micro amp with desktop module was definately worth it over the airhead and bithead.

When I ordered the amp, the site said that there was a 4-8 week backorder, so I called before hitting the enter order button to ask a sales rep why there was such a delay. I wasn't put on hold once, and the man that answered the phone was very knowledgeable. I was told that the company that they subcontract out to make the enclosure awas having manufacturing problems and that the internal electronics of all ordered amps were ready to ship, they just needed to be assembled within the case and then would be shipped as soon as the cases arrived. So I went ahead and ordered the amp.

I recieved my amp 3 weeks later, a full week than I was expecting. During those three weeks I called customer service who were happy to give me updates on the status, but that they were completely dependent on the case manufacturer.

The amp is great and after having it for over a month now, I dont think i could live without it.

A HUGE plus for me was being able to iteract with the owner and president of headroom on the same forum that I spoke of earlier in this review. He's a great guy and hes in it for the sound quality, not the money. A great guy in general, he frequently participates in headphone community events and brings along all the cool things from his site so people like me can get a taste of the great stuff he builds.
