The headphone amplifier, the music comes across much better, the bass is stronger and the sound is a lot cleaner. One must of course be careful that you do not turn up the volume too high, because the controller is a little too simple to operate. In the studio I have often inadvertently gone too high, because the controller is too light.
Another advantage is the possibility to connect 2 headphones, so you can together with his girlfriend heard eg on the bus or tram, or can watch videos. Also connected in the car on the portable DVD player that thing on a trip beneficial to the children is to satisfy because they look so together and hear, and with good sound.
Although I must say that I am not so happy with the sound of movies like music, but the kids like it so with the emphasis on the bass, etc., so that's probably just me.
The amplifier holds according to my measurements approximately 16-17 hours in operation, partly operating with 2 headphones, which I found very good performance feel.
My Conclusion:
A good headphone amplifier improves the sound of music considerably, to me personally, however, not so appeals for films etc..
4 stars from me.
