Most listeners have never heard headphones at their full potential. That's because the headphone jack on the front of most components outputs a severely compromised signal. This integral headphone amplifier is normally an afterthought considered unworthy of serious design effort or expense. After all, how many consumers make purchasing decisions based on the quality of the headphone amplifier?
Audiophiles wanting a better headphone listening experience can choose an aftermarket headphone amplifier. This device will accept a line-level signal and amplify it enough to drive your headphones.
High quality headphone amplifiers have a discrete output stage (made from separate transistors) rather than an operational amplifier chip, and are fed from power supplies designed with high-end techniques and circuits. They also incorporate audiophile quality volume controls.

Graham Slee Voyager Portable Headphone Amplifier
|
|
The Voyager Portable Headphone Amplifier creates its own trend: Rather than cramming-in "Whistles and Bells" features, it simply concentrates on the sound, giving you sufficient options to get the best performance out of your music, on the move, in the office or at home.
The Voyager is purely analogue. It has no digital clocks to veil the sound. By keeping the DAC where it belongs - in the source equipment - it can bring out the magic in the music, whatever format it comes from.

Lehmann Audio Linear

|
Our favourite headphone amplifier for use with Sennheiser's HD650's, achieving the very best possible sound from Sennheisers flagship headphone
Dynamic headphones vary far more than people realise. For the same sound pressure level the power needed with different headphone models can vary upto a factor of about 500! Impedances can be different to a factor of more than 20!
This is the reason why different headphone models have very individual requirements of the amplifier driving them in terms of voltage and current.

Naim Headline Headphone Amplifier
|
|
The Headline is an amplifier designed to offer optimum performance from a variety of high impedance headphones.
Due to overwhelming demand, the Headline can now be ordered with a pair of RCA plugs in place of the 5 pin DIN. This is especially welcome to Nait 5i owners and owners of non-Naim preamps. Same price applies for both DIN and RCA types.
Fitted with a captive lead, the Headline takes its signal from the tape socket of any of our pre-amplifiers. It has its own volume control and is designed to be very, very quiet. It has the ability to drive most headphones to an adequate level (loud!) with low distortion.

Graham Slee Solo SRG II Headphone Amplifier
|
|
Headphone amplifiers as good as the Solo are few and far between. The Solo MKIII headphone amplifier is properly designed and doesn't need to resort to dodges like bass-boost and cross-feed that mediocre headphone amplifier designs use to impress the listener. The bass is powerful as it is, but is also incredibly detailed and natural. The stereo image has all the hallmarks of a high quality speaker set-up and even with the low cost Grado SR60's can project an image well beyond the earpieces.
