I had some nice films loaded on my last flight to the US on iPad 1. Even with good in-ear Bose phones the normal spoken parts of the film were too quiet. Even at the maximum level. The Umgebungsgeräsche the plane (hum frequencies) are just too loud. For the return flight Noise Canceling Headphones've specially called. Bought. Now it was better that Hintergrungeräusche were significantly mitigated, really good but it still was not. With this small amplifier it works fine now and the particularly charming feature is that you can charge it via a USB connector that you always here for the Apple devices. The first Ausprobiern I thought the thing would break, after reading the manual I was smarter, the power-slide must be held for approximately 3 sec.. It is even an equalizer built in, depending on your taste, you can intensify the low or high areas. So watch for music, film and language. How long does a battery I can not say because I safe side reload every now and then. In summary, one can say: small, nice, work, price is absolutely ok. The package was a day after the ORDERING with me. Also for kudos.
