Pono kindly save buyers the need to worry about the quality of the
head-phones they provide by allowing buyers to provide their own:

"1. What headphones do you recommend? The audio experience is excellent
with any decent headphones or earbuds from many of the well-respected
brands. We've used products ranging from $80 up with top results. At our
press demo yesterday, Ayre used Sennheiser Momentum headphones that
retail for $300. We've also gotten amazing results using Audeze
headphones, Etymotic in-ears, and many others. To those asking why we
didn't bundle headphones, it's because many already own a pair and we
wanted to offer the PonoPlayer at the best price possible. That said, we
will be providing more recommendations and offering several models for
sale when we launch our online store after the Kickstarter campaign. "
