hi Dave Taylor here and this time I want
0:05
to talk about this the Bayer Dynamic a20
0:09
headphone amplifier and they do such a
0:12
great job with packaging that I actually
0:14
want to do an unboxing as the first part
0:16
of this so here's our box and what I
0:20
want to show you is that there's just
0:23
like this amazing attention to details
0:25
so we pull this thing out and you can
0:28
see it's pretty snug bit put this over
0:32
here take this out and here's the
0:35
amp now it's heavy and let me give you a
0:39
closeup cuz you're going to want to see
0:41
the inputs on the
0:43
front and the inputs on the back so as
0:46
you can see on the back in particular it
0:50
has RCA left and right input and output
0:53
so you can use this as a regular stereo
0:56
amplifier but it's really designed for
0:58
headphones so you can see in the front
1:00
that it has the two headphone Jacks so
1:02
now let me go ahead and get the right
1:05
wires and adapters plug everything in
1:07
I'll be right back all right I'm back
1:10
and now we have this plugged in and in
1:12
the back I have just an RCA to regular
1:17
um headphones adapter so it's a pretty
1:19
inexpensive wire that I bought and I've
1:22
plugged it into my cell phone this is
1:23
just an iPhone 6 so nothing too dramatic
1:27
and then I have these handy little beay
1:29
dynamic headphones the t9s and these are
1:32
really nice so I'm going to go ahead and
1:34
plug this into the
1:36
front and I'm going to turn the power
1:39
on and then I'm going to actually put on
1:42
the headphones so I won't be able to
1:44
hear you if you have something to say
1:46
right now so Stand By and now with these
1:49
on I'm going to put some music on oh
1:51
yeah
1:53
[Music]
2:00
I don't know what to say it's I really
2:02
wish I could like just put these
2:03
headphones on your computer right now so
2:06
you could hear them because this thing
2:08
does an amazing job an amazing job of
2:11
expanding the dynamic range and just the
2:14
richness and Clarity of really any audio
2:17
source so this is just my phone this is
2:20
not some super expensive stereo or
2:22
anything and this makes it sound amazing
2:25
like close your eyes and just focus on
2:28
the music amazing and it can do this for
2:31
anything so if you are a high-end audio
2:34
file person and you are more interested
2:37
in really great quality audio than you
2:39
are in worrying about whether you've
2:41
saved three bucks here or $5 there then
2:44
this can be a really great addition this
2:46
can work really well with your computer
2:48
system that's obviously one of the
2:50
things it's designed for but it can also
2:52
be a really amazing headphone interface
2:55
for your stereo and this will work with
2:57
a wide range of headphones so let me
3:00
give you a couple of specs here so total
3:02
harmonic Distortion is
3:04
.01% at 170 m so that's really really
3:09
loud and you're getting essentially no
3:11
perceivable Distortion whatsoever the
3:13
frequency range is 10 Herz to 10 I'm
3:16
sorry to 100,000 Hertz so it's way more
3:20
than you can hear and if your hearings
3:22
like mine it's definitely way more than
3:24
you can hear and the headphones it works
3:26
with a wide range of headphones that
3:28
have anywhere from 30 to 600 ohm
3:31
impedance so that not only covers these
3:34
high-end audio file headphones but
3:37
honestly it would work with anything as
3:39
small as earbuds as long as you have the
3:41
right interface to plug it into the um
3:43
headphone adapter in the front now the
3:45
bad news this is a
3:47
$750 unit now it's not quite that bad
3:50
because if you look on Amazon it's
3:52
actually discounted down to
3:54
$599 sounds like a lot of money to make
3:56
your headphones sound better but
3:58
honestly if you listen to to music a lot
4:01
and you really want to have the best
4:03
possible just Crystal Clear audio
4:06
quality and have even your mediocre
4:08
headphones sound great and certainly if
4:10
you have high-end headphones they're
4:12
going to sound
4:13
astounding then this is really a great
4:16
unit to check out the Bayer Dynamic a20
4:18
headphone amplifier you can pick it up
4:21
at amazon.com you can go to Bayer
4:24
dynamic.com this is Dave Taylor and I
4:26

4:28
