If you are looking for a product to make your headphones louder then this is not for you...The unit has almost unity gain and cannot realistically make a single headphone any louder. Bit of a design flaw. Where it can be useful is if you wish to run 2 headphones off of a single source and the source cannot provide enough drive for 2 headphones but is ok with one set connected. I bought this unit to use on a plane as my Kindle Fire cannot drive mine and my partners noise cancelling headphones (Bose QC2 / Sennheiser ) to an adequate level on flight. The Bose headphones are very sensitive and normally have to be used with the flight adaptor to reduce the sound to a usable level. No volume control is possible at the headphones. The Sennheiser are less sensitive and do include a volume control but I struggled to find a combination that suited both of us with a simple Y cable. With this unit I can whack up the volume on the Kindle and use the M-Audio unit to feed the Bose headphones without the flight adaptor and then use the volume control on the unit to get the levels correct. Whilst I could have made a unit to do this the M-Audio device is both neat, very small and well constructed. I would anticipate that this will be a lot easier to get through flight security check in than a home made amplifier!!! The M-Audio unit can increase the Bass level to cater for ear buds. Not really a problem for the Bose headphones. Since purchasing the M-Audio unit I have opened it up and changed a pair of resistors from 12K to 68K in the NFB loop to provide an appreciable level of gain. Much better and of course the volume control sits about half way. A good product?? Very much so if you wish to drive two or more headphones and your source is limited in drive capability.Read full review

This product is called a headphone amplifier. The description talks about poor outputs on your device and this will help. This product does not amplify your output. When you plug it in, you have to turn it up to full volume to get the same level of output as when you plug direct into your phone. What is the point of that? I want it louder, that’s why I bought an “amplifier”. As for the bass boost, this is simply and EQ setting which of course if you have a decent phone you can just do in settings and get a better result. All this does is boost a woolly bass sound. An absolute waste of money!

Amp works just fine. If you listen with it silently there is a chance you will hear some white noise. But only on minimum volume. Didn't try to change the original cable that came with it. cable looks cheap and might easily get damaged inside your pocket. Other than that amp is doing its job as it should.
