headphone amplifier
« on: 25 April 2010, 16:12:39 »

Is there anyone on here that can recommend a decent headphone amp. 
Im getting pissed off with all my devices being unable to drive my headphones properly.

ive tried quite a few sets of headphones in the lower end of the price range  and  been unhappy with the results.
 I need a headphone amp because the ones i use are not the easiest to drive  :y

I was trying to listen to music on my pc and its just rubbish

this is the set i use at home

I think it's probably a hearing aid you need, not headphones.

I got a set of Shure in-ear things (needed them to travel with) and have to say they're excellent.  They fit so snugly and block out so much ezternalnoise I've nearly missed two fire drills at work, and if I hadn't noticed the office emptying I would have been none the wiser, because as far as I was concerned the music was great :).     I spent a while choosing but I've had quite a bit of shure kit before and never been disappointed, and the reviews were very favourable.  Not something people are that happy letting you try before you buy though.

I just built my own....based around a good opamp biased to work in class A mode with a quasi complimentary transistor output.

Works quite well
