Pro‑Ject Audio Systems is adding two new headphone amplifiers to its stable with the Head Box DS3 B and Head Box S3 B.

The first models in a refreshed generation of the Austrian maker’s long-running electronics range (formerly known as Box Design), they bring fully balanced sound to wired headphones at an accessible price.
