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

Quality product but sold on Amazon cheaper with different seller.
Size: Medium Size 2, Color: White-Blue
The size is the reason for the missing star. Made of good quality but found cheaper from another buyer. My 9month Cane Corso hasn't destroyed it yet and enjoys playing keep away with the other dogs.

absolutely must buy perfect for dogs. I have a large black lab and he has had so much fun with us.
Size: Large Size 3, Color: White-Blue
I have to say that my dog would be considered an aggressive tower. However, this ball has stayed intact. I love that it comes with the pump. It’s extremely functional very soft for catching can be cleaned. Very easy easy the quality is exceptional. Very functional does have a bounce. I can say he has had so much fun with this since it’s getting it for his birthday on 11/11 I highly recommend this product and would definitely buy again.

Perfect for keep-away
Size: Large Size 3, Color: Red-Blue
I purchased one of these for my pup and he has a ball throwing it up in the air and chasing it. Handy for something they can play with alone.

70lb dog loves this kind of ball!
This is my dog's favorite style of ball! I have purchased others before, first from a local farm supply store and then others from Amazon, and this ball is of comparable quality to the others! The multi-tag design is great for my dog who love to tug and also to throw toys for himself. It's still inflated for now, but I'm under no pretense that it will stay that way forever. Part of the enjoyment my dog gets from his toys is in their destruction, and while we haven't hit that phase yet I'm sure it will come. This ball is great for medium to large-ish dogs who enjoy a ball that is kicked, thrown, or tugged!

So much fun
My dog is obsessed with this. It comes deflated and you have to pump it but it only takes like 30 seconds to pump. And it comes with the pump which is so convenient! It's nice because you can leave it a tad deflated so your dog can grab onto the ball part if you want. My dog has bitten it a ton and it hasn't popped or deflated yet so it seems sturdy. I like that there are multiple handles because not only does it make it easy to play tug o war but also then you can have multiple dogs playing with it at once. Has held up good over the past week and a great source of entertainment! My dog is about the size of an aussie for reference and it is perfect size for him and small enough for him to carry.
