I can't complain about this little micro amp. The level knob is good, the sound is really close to a regular amp, and I don't disturb anyone while practicing. It works perfectly for my guitar and I can even plug my synth into it and sounds great!, 4 out 5 stars because I wish it had more output.

I ordered this in looking for the most basic headphone amp in order to listen to my playing without any effects. I am using this with my Chapman Stick (along with a 1/4" stereo to 1/4" mono adapter), and the impedance seems to match fine. It also gives a decent amplification level at 70% of the volume knob and upward.

The unit takes a 9V battery (comes with one already installed) and it turns on when you insert your headphone connector into the jack into the top. The unit has a belt clip on the back, which is handy. The biggest plus is that it is quite small and unobtrusive.

The only negative thing is that the artwork on the front of the unit scratches off extremely easily (which is rather odd), so you should expect most of the logo to remove itself after some use. Mine showed up with lots of scratches already, but I didn't care since I realized that it is inevitable with the way that the unit was manufactured.

Great buy. Bought it to see if I wanted to learn the guitar before buying something more expensive. After deciding to commit to learning I got something bigger and now use this to amplify sound from my computer because I use headphones for my computer as well. Just one downside, I wish it had an on-off switch. I've already run the battery down once by accidentally leaving my headphones plugged in.

I just got this. I hooked my Epi Les Paul Custom up to a Bad Monkey overdrive and then ran that into this amp, which uses a 1/8" jack to pump the signal into the cans. It actually sounds pretty good and it is sturdily built. For someone who is on the road a lot and you want a lightweight practice amp, I suggest you use this since it is cheaper and less bulky than the piece of crap headphone amp that Dunlop puts out (the Guitar Ace, iirc). Hell, this would be fun to take on a private jet and jam to pass the time while you head to your destination. Too bad you can't do that on a regular airline *lol.

There is a volume knob on it to control how loud it is going into your headphones, but it also doesn't run on an adapter, just batteries. I don't know how long a battery will last yet on it, but you are now warned, I guess. Just keep in mind, though, to keep the volume rolled back so that you don't fry your ear drums since the quality of sound is comfortable enough to the ear to be deceptively loud.

Just received this item today -Amazon's shipping was spot on--great job! This is the first item of this sort I've purchased, and I love it. I'm playing bass and read an assortment of mixed reviews about similiar products. This one has a full metal casing -not cheap pot metal. It has a very tight fitting belt loop on it...I will see how that works over time. The volume knob is nice and tight, no extraneous movements in any direction; large green led so you know the unit is on. And, I like that fact that the unit turns on & off when the headphones are plugged in or unplugged, respectively. One can leave the guitar (in my case bass) plugged into it and not run down the battery. It requires a 9-volt battery (included). For me, the volume is wonderful. Between the volume on the bass and the volume on the box, it is more than I need. Another feature that I prefer about this product is that it does NOT plug directly into my instrument....that's just my preference. So, now it's off to the patio, park and other places for "silent' practice w/ the headphones. Great job electro harmonix!.
