    00:00 🎧 A headphone amp boosts low voltage audio signals to drive headphones and enhance sound quality.
    00:52 🔌 Scenario 1: Use a headphone amp if your setup lacks a headphone jack.
    01:25 🎧 Scenario 2: High impedance headphones may need a headphone amp to reach adequate volume.
    01:52 🌍 Scenario 3: A headphone amp allows you to use headphones in different locations or on-the-go.
    02:14 🔍 Scenario 4: A dedicated headphone amp can significantly improve audio performance and DAC quality.
    02:36 📏 Headphone amps come in various sizes and types, including analog-only, computer audio, and multi-input models.
    03:41 💻 Computer audio amps improve quality and offer built-in DACs better than typical computer outputs.
    04:32 🔄 Multiple audio input amps support various sources, including network streaming and smart devices.
    05:10 🎯 When choosing an amp, consider your audio sources and needs, and note the wide price range available.
    06:03 💎 Higher-end headphone amps and DACs generally offer better sound quality, with premium components costing more.
    07:05 ⚡ Ensure the amp has suitable audio output jacks if you plan to connect it to a power amp or powered speakers.

      @@origami74 I bought a Behringer HA 400 headphone amp that I connect to my Focusrite headphone out. I then connect my headphone/s to the Behringer which has slots for four headphones. The Behringer is AC powered. Look for Behringer headphone amp and Focusrite Scarlett on TH-cam, someone has a nice video. I don’t know if this is the ideal solution and I think my Beyerdynamic headphones can maybe do even more but I am definitely getting more out of my headphones than before. So I am happy. P.S. I think the ideal long term solution is that your audio interface should have higher quality / higher impedance headphone outs. Or extra line outs at the back. Or get a stand alone headphone amp - although you’d have to find a way to connect it to the audio interface (like maybe what I’ve done). Please keep in mind I am just learning all this. Good luck.

      No, that will really not change it. You might need to find some kind of music app (and we do not know of one) that would compress the music to make the loud parts quieter so its all a similar volume level.

    Hello hello! I must say its absolutely amazing how many people you guys have respond to in the comments. That in itself gets you a sub from me.
    However im very very new to all this. Some terms i might not know or everything a amp can and cant do but here i go.
    Yesterday i got a pair of pc38x from Amazon in a "like new" condition and it was a scam im not gonna lie. I am returning them as they were very bad condition, very low audio on ps4 and on phone (it was a bad pair and im gonna buy a straight up new pair, not buying used again), however on phone it was also very choppy. However by hearing how low the volume was during the time i had the broken one i wondered if there was a way to amplify any sound and here i am.
    I chose those headphones because they were recommend for being very great for all gaming, music and movies, i think you get it. Now i would assume i would go with the computer like amp right? However i dont truly understand and hope your professional opinion would help me chose one. All i want is a amp that can help boost sound and id like to try something that can maybe boost bass if thats a thing for my headphones for ps4. It would be awesome if you could point me in some good directions and im not looking for something very expensive as im a bit of a budget. As long as its reliable and maybe im able to dabble around with settings(i heard you can do things like that) that would be wonderful!
    Thank you for your help!

    • @AudioAdvice
      @AudioAdvice  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You might want to look for a set of headphones that come with an app that allows you to tailor the sound. Most headphone amps are designed for a more straight wire approach with no controls for changing the sound. Just go with a brand that has been around for a while and make sure the app has sound settings and you should be fine. For more details please reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com.

    Hi there, great video. I have a sampler that has very low volume output power when listening with headphones from the sampler itself. It is the Novation Circuit Rhythm. I was looking for a solution to this and a friend mentioned a portable headphone amplifier. I searched on youtube and came across this video. I want to take my sampler with me to make beats on the go or when i'm traveling. I don't want to buy an audio interface for this unless i'm also going to record into a music production software. My sampler can save my work and when i return home i can dump it into say Reason 12 in my studio. which portable headphone would recommend for this? I'd like to know so i can purchase this asap.

    • @AudioAdvice
      @AudioAdvice  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you. Almost all portable headphone amps are designed to take a digital input either via usb or toslink/coax. It appears your sampler only has analog out so we do not have one to recommend. However, the problem you are describing seems very odd for a studio piece like that. It could be your headphones are very high impedance and not the best match for it, or some setting on the output level is off. Thanks for watching

    Fast forward to 2021 and Apple Music now features lossless, hi-res lossless and Dolby Atmos. I have an iPhone and listen to music on the phone constantly. I recently purchased the $9 Apple lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter. It features a built in DAC. Why spend hundreds on a DAC for an iPhone when you can get this one for only $9. It also supports 24/48.
    I know Belkin makes one as well but they charge around $39. Does anybody else here feel the $9 Apple dongle is a great value for listening to lossless(CD Quality) music?

    okay..now I'm more confused than ever. So I purchased the Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro set the other day and they just arrived with a KnoxGear 4 channel amplifier. ($179 for the combo) Now it is not a great amp I suspect as you can find it for about $30 bucks on Amazon. . The reviews said it was a solid combination but I'll have to be honest. I am underwhelmed so far with the set-up. While it sounds "good" it does NOT sound "great" to me. I am not audio "expert" but I expected to be blown away and instead it is simply "meh". Honestly does not sound that much better than my cheap over the ear Walmart specials. My guess is these 250ohm headphones need more power and this video has managed to NOT give me any useful information.

      Great question. If you got a headphone amp with a volume control, no you would not need a preamp. This would be a good one. www.audioadvice.com/headphones-portables/headphone-amplifiers-dacs/pro-ject-head-box-s2 Thanks for watching

    Hi thanks for this video! I'm looking for the Sony Pha-3 for my yamaha hph200 and something in this amp-dac is not very clear for me. Since is portable apparently this not going to work if this is charging, then if this is the case this is not going to work as a part of an audio set as an other audio component. Iwhat do you think? thanks.

    Useful information. There certainly seems to be many options for one's needs. I do have a question. I enjoy playing my iPod Classic (5.5) in my vehicle through my Nissan Rogue factory deck, and wanted to know if using such a device (e.g., small portable earphone amp) could enhance the sound quality through this. I only have the treble and bass adjustments on it, and would rather not bother swapping the deck out.

      ​@@wazup3333 There are headphones that require a lot of power. These kind of headphones can be plugged in to your mobile phone but they'll be too quiet as a phone isn't providing the power it requires. This is measured in Ohms. If you have a headphone that is only measured at 32 Ohms, then you can use it with your phone. If you have a headphone that is rated at > 250 Ohms, you'll be disappointed if you plug it to your phone.

      honestly, with the sennheiser hd 599 (assuming you dont mean the ferrari) a fiio k3 will do. its 100$. its a desktop dac/amp combo and supports up to 384/32 pcm or dsd 256 if you fancy that. it even has a 2.5mm balanced output and you can use it as a dac and connect it to a different amp later down the road. i use a k3 with the hd660s. i tried different dacs and amps in a store, but could not justify the price, maybe with a fancier pair of headphones.
