Based on the combined listening experience of the above headphones, it can be inferred that the sound concept of Beam3Pro is very clear. It is very difficult to achieve a comprehensive performance in this compact hardware configuration with only single-ended unbalanced output. Audirect is aware of this and has maximized the power output in the relevant areas, particularly emphasizing the mid-frequency range. After all, the same amount of power will have different effects when concentrated in a single punch or when spread out. High-end front-ends, priced at thousands of yuan, generally perform better in terms of overall sound performance, but when the volume is reduced, the power and overall sound space will also decrease. If one were to focus on all three frequency ranges, the overall sound would become weaker, possibly resulting in a flat and soft performance in all three frequencies. However, by concentrating the power on one point, such as the mid-frequency range, it is possible to highlight vocals while simultaneously separating them from the background music. In fact, this is what most popular music demands in terms of listening experience. From a quality perspective, the sufficient driving power is accompanied by excellent separation and, focusing on single-ended output, the Beam3Pro has absolute advantages over machines in the same price range that have both single-ended and balanced outputs.

As for driving high-end headphones, I would say it is possible. It surprised me how well it drove edition xs and T7. In fact, it can also bring out good sound quality with HD600, HD650, M50X, K812, and other headphones. It is a simple and convenient solution for portable use. The significance of driving high-end headphones with it is that it simplifies the cumbersome process of using decoding headphones or players (after all, some enthusiasts value the ability to listen to music directly on their phones or plug into their work computers). It provides a low-cost and portable solution for many classic high-end headphones that I mentioned earlier. But if you want to push it further, I can clearly say that you cannot expect any breakthroughs, not even from any portable players. After all, it is reasonable that bulky desktop systems are still not obsolete in 2021. You have to choose between compact size, portability, functionality, and extreme performance pursuit. However, in terms of driving capability in such a small size to a listenable level, it is the only option.
