Let’s first start with what is a headphone amp:
A headphone amp is a relatively low-powered amplifier that raises the low-voltage audio signal from a source such as a smartphone, rack component or your computer to a sufficient level to power the speakers inside of your headphones, much like a pair of bookshelf or tower speakers. Headphone amps can dramatically improve the performance and sound of your headphones as well, but we’ll get to how in just a moment.
Why you would need a headphone amp:
Your current setup doesn’t have a built-in headphone jack.
You have a set of higher impedance headphones and your existing audio system cannot play them loud enough.
You want to use your headphones in another room or on the go
Finally, you want to improve the audio performance of your headphones
Headphone amps can vary in size from a full-scale home audio component to a tiny piece that you can fold into the palm of your hand. Some are battery powered, while others need to be connected to AC power. You’ll also find a variety of different types of signals and inputs supported. We will break these down to help you decide the category that is right for your needs.
Analog Only
Computer Audio Only
Many people love to listen to headphones on their computer but let's face it, the headphone jack on your laptop or desktop lacks quality.
The good news, the right type of headphone amps will allow you to connect a USB cable from your computer to the amp. You’ll also benefit from the amp’s built-in DAC’s which are far better than the ones on your computer.
There are two types of computer audio headphone amps.
The first type will simply have a USB connector on it that plugs right into the USB jack on your computer. The other will be more of a component type where you will need to use a USB cable and will normally have its own volume control and full-sized headphone jack on the front.
Multiple Audio Inputs
This is the most common type of headphone amp. These will have some combination of USB audio input for a computer or smartphone, analog audio in, and/or digital audio in. Some home models will sometimes have more than one digital and analog input.
Multiple Audio Input headphone amps are either battery-powered or portable. In addition to a great headphone amp section, these amps will have audio outputs capable of driving a power amp or feeding a pair of powered speakers.
Last, but certainly not least - streaming capabilities
A select few headphone amps give you the option of adding network streaming. This allows you to pull audio files off your network without being physically attached to your computer, and also to stream from your smartphone.

Excellent video, explained everything I needed to know, thank you!
I have more questions now.
whahaha exactly what came up in my mind
Sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly lost my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Jamie Titus instablaster :)
@Kelvin Gunnar I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Kelvin Gunnar it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass :D
Instructions unclear; I have a 2.5 mm plugged into my ear drum
does it work well tho?
lol
Bruh 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You know, Dr. Phil… I can’t say I’m surprised.
This video sounded so beautiful, i had to sub. Great work!
Well explained! Many thanks.
Damn exactly my setup the stellia and Klipsch heritage amp I've never seen anyone else with this combo
i like they way you spoke and the way the camera focuses on your speaking. this was helpful indeed.
Glad you liked it! Thanks
I have the PS AUDIO Stellar DAC and the Focal clear.
Which is the best Headphone amp between the Questyle CMA Twelve Master and the Cayin HA-6A?
Thks,
Pascal
clear as mud, but at the very least i got the: "look for one with the inputs you are looking to use" and "you get what you pay for, if you want quality then look for something with a higher class of conponenets."
can i use headphone amp to connect to an amplifier's rca in?
Do I connect my headphone amp directly to my Focusrite or to my computer if I want to monitor my recordings and mixing. And if the Focusrite what is better - the headphone jack or the line outs.
Is it worth it for me? I would like it to increase sound quality and be able to raise the volume... Home use only for my desktop for music and video games.
Any suggestions?
Headphones: Hifiman HE400i
scenario #2 means not that your headphones aren't getting loud enough but that the signal isn't high enough to give you the full picture of the sound. weird phrasing might make that confusing
Factual, the lower power may not be strong enough to actually provide that structure for the whole "bandwidth" the headphone does
You might like the multi-bit DAC in a headphone amp.
Thank you! Awesome vid!
Glad you liked it!
awesome video! what headphone do u suggest for Jazz? i listen to a lot of Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, Oscar Peterson, Chick Corea, Dave Brubeck, John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Ahmad Jamal, Michel Petrucciani, Bud Powell... thank u !
So can I use my audio interface I use for my speaker monitors?
I want to buy a sennheiser headset and im thinking of buying a headphone amp for it, specifically for a computer. Any recommendations? I'm looking for quality and loudness
Thanks for the video.

Alex, It depends on use. Some travel or office use would be different than a dedicated listening station. Contact us at audioadvice.com and we can get some details from you to help you with the recommendations.
I recently purchased the AKG K7XX, and I'm not sure what amp I should buy to help it perform
Good video
Hello and greetings from greece, I have the old Mdr1000x by sony and i wanted to pair them with an amp. I just dont know who is the best.. any recommendations ?
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.
Recommendations for Beyerdynamic DT 990 pro 250 Ohm headphones?

They're all different answers XD
Hello need advice : I have a Samsung tablet model SM-T580 that I connect thru Bluetooth to a JBL PartyBox 300 speaker. I am under the impression that if use a Bluetooth headphone pre-amp or amp that I will be able to get a cleaner and louder sound. Please advise. Thank you very much in advance for any suggestions/help or information.
I am planning to hook up my iem wired headphones can that be done?
My situation is, I've got the LP120 going into active speakers, through RCA cables. The speakers have a line socket, which I've been, stupidly, plugging my headphones into thinking it was a headphone jack. I never got any sound from it. Any help?? Do I need a headphone amp? If I do, will I need new cables to go from my turntable? Or could the headphone amp go into the speakers and work that way?

I want to buy 250ohm DT770 and headphone amp to connect to my audio interface. What amp should I buy and how can I use it with my Steinberg UR22 mkii for mixing. Thanks.
Audio Advice! I have Beyerdynamic DT770 pro 250 Ohm headphones for music production. Which DAC+Amp is better(models) for use [Laptop - Dac/Amp - Headphones] and for posibility to plug in the DAC a Microphone with 6.35mm jack. To use Dac instead of Studio monitors for now. Thanks!
What kind of audio amplifier do you use?
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.
We have had some people use the AQ Dragonfly DAC's in their auto systems. www.audioadvice.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=dragonfly Thanks for watching
Goodmorning-
Almost pulled the trigger on the AER 60-4 AMP. My question is if it’s possible to connect and guitar and microphone for vocals and listen to it all using a headset? This to not disturb other people or neighbors. Also a perfect way of listening to my mistakes since an amplifier is unforgiving!
I realy hope this is possible.
Now if one day I want to video myself with everything plugged in- what type (!) of mic do you recommend in front of the AER speaker for recording ditectly.
Thanks again

It is not, you would probably be better served with a mixer that had a good headphone amp. We only deal in home audio and home theater equipment. Thanks for watching
What do you recommend for dt 990 pro 250ohms?
did u find something? i am at the same situation
Yep. I have the soundblaster G6 now. Its sooo good :)
The Bottlehead Crack is great for theses. Also as others mentioned, the Little Dot mkII is very good.
So how do we connect our headphone amps to our computers. USB?
@@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 RUclips, 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.
I want to hook up one of these to some speakers because they run quiet on my phone and turn table. I tried some of those apps you can get off of google play, but it only made it ear rape. Would I have to worry about it becoming ear rape?
Ok, so I have a mini recording studio at my house. I'm using Protools/Mbox Pro - there are only 2 headphone ports on the Mbox. Say I want to record 3 or 4 people at the same time, they all need headphones. (I would want them to each be able to adjust their own volume to their liking) Would one of these headphone amps be the best approach to turning 2 headphone ports into 4? Or am I looking for a different piece of equipment?
Brian, Thanks for the question. Please feel free to reach us by phone or chat at audioadvice.com We can answer your questions in more detail. Thank you.
Do i need this if i have a sound device 833?
Can you chat while using the amp?

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.
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
@@AudioAdvice thank you
I have a turntable, an outboard phono preamp, and powered bookshelf speakers. I want to add a headphone amplifier, preferably vacuum tube, for record queuing and private listening. Is there a budget price solution?
Please feel free to contact us via chat or phone and we can assist. check us out at audioadvice.com It can be difficult to find an affordable tube-based headphone amp that is worth purchasing. With a few questions, we might be able to make a recommendation. Thank you.
So i have question that wasnt covered in the lecture! lol, can I install a headphone tubeamp that generates like 1000mWatts to an active speakers that generates 2 Watts, I know its not much but I want to get the advantages of a tube amp sound coming from the speakers, would this be possible? would I get the benefits of the tubeamp at all? Thank you
Yes, there are some headphone amps that are also preamps. And yes, you would get the benefit of tube sound.
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!
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. Thanks for watching
@@AudioAdvice okay, thank you every much!
Can i connect a small headphone Pre-amp directly to a vi 200w power amp and use it as a regular pre-amp?
if your headphone amp have a volume controlled analog out, then yes you can use it as a pre amp.

I want to connect my headphones to digital piano. Which one can I use ¿
damn those dragon flys are high
go with the Apple dongle for only $9. you won't regret it!
can a headphone amp effect the mix if I'm engineering in any way or does it just effect the way I hear the song while listening via DAC, what I'm essentially asking is can you print the augmentation the headphone amp provides or is it only for reference purposes?
If you have a means to record the output (whats coming out the headphone jack of the headphone amp) then you would be able to use it to preamp a mix
On a TC Electronics G-Major 2 there is no headphone jack. This is a guitar effects processor, how can I make this work for my stereo headphones?

My problem is I want to play classical music in my car via an aux cable to my phone, but on the highway when the engine is louder I can't hear the soft parts of the music. So I figure this can crank up the volume sufficiently?
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.
Hi, I listen Spotify music using MI TV BOX, Fatman itube amplifare and Denon 7200 headphone. If some amplifare like Mojo or streamer Fiio will do better sound with my Denon? thanks
Hi! A Mojo or a streamer will improve your sound and add more detail while playing Hi-Res tracks. If you have the chance, pop into our website and chat with us for recommendations around your system!
Thanks for replay. If I buy Fiio G5, Fio X7 markii Fiio m9 and replays MI TV BOX Fatman amplifare at the end will give me better sound for my headphone? And can have some amp for travel
Im looking to get a Behringer HA400 for a pair of DT-770 pro 250 ohms, can i connect it via a 6.3mm to 3.5mm cable straight to pc or do i have to purchase something else for it to work?
We are not a dealer for any of those brands but it looks like the Behringer is a headphone amp, it would seem your solution would work, IF the Behringer can properly drive your headphones
If I want to buy a cd player and build the sound around only using headphones, if I got a headphone amp would I still need a preamp?
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
So I want to improve the sound of my audio on my pc should I get an amp, the sound is fine there is no issues with it but it is quite tinny in my headphones sometimes, I have tried with high end headphones (wired) what should I do

Can I use headphone amps for small speakers?
You can't. You would need either a receiver or an integrated amp for your speakers. If you would like some suggestions, swing by our website and chat with us!
@@AudioAdvice why would you need an amp for headphones to play them that loud? like unless youre deaf I dont get it?
@@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.
@@kevinkarlwurzelgaruti458 I'm not an expert about these stuff but most audiophiles would say that Ohms doesn't translate to audio quality. You can read more here: www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/7mc1q6/do_higher_ohm_values_mean_better_audio_or_are/

Trying to figure out what to pair with my 599
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.
Leviathan hey thanks for replying. I need to learn more about dac/amps and make a purchase. Went with the 599se and I’m surprised how good it sound out of the mobo. But I’ve seen people combining amps and dacs and don’t know if that’s worth the price. I’m wondering if I need a mic input on the amp or if that’s unnecessary
Forget about the DACs, I think you need a new camera. That autofocus is going haywire.
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?
We suggest you try something like the Audioquest Dragonfly Black DAC and hear for yourself. If you have a decent set of headphones we suspect you will be pleasantly surprised.
So if I upgrade my headphones, i guess my electricity bill will upgrade too ?
Which headphone amp would you recommend for my laptop?
Depends on what phones, and how you are going to use them. Portable or home listening?
I love my Audioengine D1
Schit magni almost cost $99
But using magni with Schit Modi 3 DAC is better because because it will improve your audio quality with amplifying power
While this is very useful apparently, it's definitely not beginner friendly.
And I thought choosing pc parts was hard

I need an amp and a dac for my Sennheiser 660s, anyone got some options?
I don't care if its an amp/dac or just amp + dac max 500$ tho. I was thinking about the M9XX but i live in the EU so yeah..
Or maybe Schitt Vali 2 + some of their dacs, i have no knowledge about amp and dacs. Has to ship to EU
Maybe watch Z reviews for product recommendations. He is an awesome reviewer, imo.

Beyond 100%. Be careful of your hearing. We only get one set of ears.
@@AudioAdvicei'm doing something different though
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.
The KnoxGear amp is not a very good amp, it is more of a splitter. Please reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com for suggestions on a better amp for your DT990. Thanks for watching

I have a question. I need an amplfier for a very specific situation. I use an audio mixer to get audio for my laptop and ps4 and channel that audio into one pair of headphones. However, that audio is very quiet. How am I gonna use an amplifier to get the audio from the mixer through the amplifier, and then hopefully to my headphones?
If you do not need to mix the signals together, something like this would be ideal www.audioadvice.com/pro-ject-head-box-s2-digital-headphone-amplifier-and-dac You would run the USB out of your laptop into it and the Toslink from your PS4. You'll get better DAC's and plenty of volume. If you need to mix them, that is out of our domain and into the pro audio world. Thanks for watching
Can I hook up some power speaker to a headphone amps ? Thanks.
Depends if the thing has a pass-thru on the back. Why would you make the signal amplified (headphone amp) and then amplify it again (POWERED speakers)?
