About this deal

It’s a really well thought out selection of inputs, outputs and functionality to get anyone started on their audio journey. A handy factor to have on your headphone amp will be full control over your music. This won’t only include a volume dial or knob that you can use to adjust the volume. Headphone amps that also allow you to adjust the bass and treble independently of one another will help you to enjoy the finer aspects of your favorite music. You can easily adjust the sound to suit your needs. For context here are the measurements of the Sony MDR-SA3000 through the K5 Pro with various EQ settings. The Fosi Audio Q4 headphone amp is another great choice if affordability is a factor for you. This headphone amp allows you to adjust the bass and treble to suit your preferred tastes. Rounding off our list of the best headphone amps is the LOXJIE P20. This headphone amp makes use of military grade vacuum tubes which give it a warmer sound overall.

Step 5:Turn on the power switch (turn up the volume); (Note:The power switch is also the volume control knob. The rubber feet are a nice addition that I wasn’t expecting on a product at this price point, however they didn’t prevent the unit from sliding around on my glass monitor stand base, but I still greatly appreciate the scratch protection.I noticed it especially failed to produce convincing dynamics with large planars, which are notoriously power-hungry, and with some more demanding dynamic headphones like my JVC HA-DX1000 it was not able to control sub-bass texture with authority. It’s safe to say that the K5 is able to drive most common headphones and headsets to excessive listening volume with ease. It comes with a pretty standard aluminium shell, however it is tastefully finished with the front facade perfectly matching the body and the text is fairly well subdued on a grey/silver version.

However, I don’t recommend using the tone controls to their extremes. I noticed that maximum bass volume will introduce mild distortion. You may also want to consider how many output sections the headphone amp has. Depending on what you need to use your new headphone amp for, you may need to have output to several different sets of headphones or even speakers as well. A headphone amp that allows you to control the output to these different channels will be a handy feature to have. Sound control The Behringer Microamp HA400 is the perfect choice if you’re restricted by a budget. This particular headphone amp will have all the basics covered so that you can listen to high quality music whenever you want. It delivers audio of the highest quality and is compatible with practically all types of headphones. Even when you’re playing music at the maximum volume! A unique feature of this amp is that it comes with a gain switch. This allows you to easily adjust the level of gain between low, medium, and high, depending on how much power you want to drive to your headphones. This will be a handy feature to have on your headphone amp if you want to better adjust the sound to your preferences.Another great feature of this particular headphone amp is that it comes with a variety of interfaces. This means you can not only use it with your headphones to boost their sound, but you can also use it with multiple other devices to boost the quality of sound from your speakers. Also, the minimum bass volume seems to introduce some artefacts, however at this greatly reduced volume, you likely wouldn’t hear any of those artefacts anyway. Then we have the EQ options, which do offer quite a bit of range, possibly more than is needed. With just a slight turn of the bass dial, the increment in the low ranges is quite noticeable, adding that extra thump when needed. The treble dial seems to be a little less apparent. By this I don’t mean that it is not more than enough when needed, just that the changes aren’t quite as exaggerated as with the bass knob. You will need to use the supplied Micro-USB cable to power it; we recommend using the PC-USB port/5V power adapter.
