Are Headphone amplifiers worth it?


Recommended Posts

I find that funny because my Klipsche S4S earbuds need no amplifier and sound amazing, then again they aren't some cheap set of earbuds

well, My Home Headphones are Good enough. But the Polk Ultrafit 500 I wear at the Gym Stay on my ears Tight except they aren't loud enough at max/close to max volume when i'm working out.

cheap or expensive doesnt matter. my akg 702 arent cheap and they sound awesome with an amp. my Audio technica athm50 are semi cheap at about 150 and they sound awesome with a headphone amp. I have Klipsch s4 earbuds too, night and day clarity difference with headphone amps.

im have about 50 sets of earbuds and 5 headphones...just about every since set is more dynamic with an amp.

Hmm, I also own ATH-M50's, I may have to test that out, though it seems like my ipod gives them a nice volume at 75%.

how do you power these amps? another battery or an adapter to fit in the mp3 player?

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

Well then you know how great the S4's sound, a amplifier actually can make its sound better? haha I never knew these things existed, also just looked up the new version of the OP's amp he wants and its the E6 for $27 on Amazon.

Pics on there skittles and you have to charge the amp. I just sold my ipod a couple weeks ago too since CD sounds better in my car than AUX and I never listened to it other wise, now I kind of want a new mp3 player but IDK what.

some are battery powered some are ac powered, just depends on the unit used.

i have one thats a tube amp thats plugged into the wall, called the blue hawaii and i have a 60 dollar portable one that doesnt leave my treadmill thats got a rechargable nicad battery or you can ac power it. i think its called the pa2v2.

interesting... i kept thinking about trying to make one but powering it seemed like a hassle.
