What reviewers are saying

We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:

Our favorite reviewer quotes:

  • "I'm gonna be blunt here and state it right away – The Charybdis is the best staging over-ear headphone I've ever heard, even beating the legendary HD800 by Sennheiser. Not only the size of it, but the amount of air between the instruments, the imaging, the separation." (https://www.ear-fidelity.com/erzetich-charybdis-review)
  • "I find them so resolving that after moving from a HiFiMan's Susvara to Charybdis…I don't feel the urge to put them down on my table. After a few days of fierce battles and comparisons, they became the second-highest-resolving headphones from my collection and that should tell you a thing or two about their detail retrieval and transparency." (https://soundnews.net/headphones/full-size/erzetich-charybdis-review-a-new-dimmension-in-sound)
  • "Dynamics and massive power reserves usually go hand in hand, but that's not always the case—and the little Bacillus II+ proves it. I've tested several gentle giant headphone amplifiers that provided absurd power ratings, dwarfing everything else on the test bench; yet many of them couldn't electrify low-sensitivity headphones the same way this little thing managed to do right from the start."

About the brand

MASS-kobo is a hifi amplifier brand. Each unit is hand-assembled by a single craftsman, Mr. Masuda, who personally tests and selects every component through an extensive binning process that limits output and creates long lead times. The brand embraces unconventional design choices, including intentionally high output impedance (~10Ω balanced), switch-mode power supplies in summit-tier amps, and build-to-order practices with sequential serialization and optional personal delivery by the craftsman himself.
