Reviews 

"With a creamy, natural sound and tight bass response, along with pro-grade build 

quality to match, we're sure any serious music lover would enjoy this fabulous piece of 
audio bliss." - Unplggd Test Lab 

"WooAudio has one of the prettiest and slickest build quality that you can find in the 
industry. Everything from the hairline finishing, the lines, the knobs, the transformer 

housing, all the way to the back panel, you find nothing but top quality workmanship." 
Headfonia 

"It was almost magical the way the Woo WA6 made every recording sound better than 
I thought it was. – The AudioPhiliac CNET 

The WA6 offer great sound and great value!" - Tone Audio, issue 8 

"Awesome! Amazing sound! I know I use these heavy words now and I promised 
myself I wouldn't as I do not get excited very easily and I did not want to cause a stir 
with this review and then make people have high expectations. But I do think the sound 
is indeed awesome." - George Chronis@Head-fi 

"I never really knew how good the HD-600's could sound until hearing them through 

the WA6. Anyone that says the HD-600's are dark or veiled hasn't tried the correct 
headphone." - Rad212@Head-Fi 

"The soundstage or spatial placement of sound is excellent, but in my opinion this is 
also dependant on the music, recording quality and headphones used. Overall clarity is 

excellent, it sounds natural and the sound is clean/undistorted without a morsel of off 
sound or graininess." - WalkGood@Head-Fi
