Lightning Cable Headphone Amplifier

As a beginner podcaster I didn't want to spend a fortune. This amplifier fits the bill. It's small and wasn't expensive. It comes with an AC plug but you have to provide the audio out/headphone cable that comes from either your mixer, recorder, or computer into the amplifier. The input is not the small headphone mini audio stereo cable. It's the wider headphone cable. Also, every headphone that's plugged into this amplifier is also the wider cable (1/4) so if your headphones are the mini you need an adapter. This wasn't an essential item for my beginning podcasting kit but this amplifier makes it such a small investment that I think it's worth it.

I use this to connect anything with a standard headphone cable to my iPhone Lightning port (older selfie stick, older Square reader, earbuds and headphones).

Got this before realizing there was an adapter that featured the lightning headphone adapter and charging ... but this is useful too!

Using to connect an iPhone with lightning adapter into a Rega amplifier. Sounds great and seems to have good build quality for the price.

Great headphone and cable hangers.

I bought the Rolls Headphone Amplifier to allow several people to simultaneously monitor an audio feed and it has worked well. A power-cube is included for use when a power outlet is available, however I am using it in the Field so the 9v battery which can power it allows me to use the Rolls Amplifier anywhere. I am pleased with the rugged metal construction and the simple power switch and individual level controls, the Rolls sounds wonderful and I have tested it with several different portable Recorders and Headphones and I am quite pleased and would certainly purchase it again and can recommend it wholeheartedly.

This is probably the best solution for a portable, pro headphone amplifier at the $ price point. What sold me about this unit was its wide range of input configurations and the fact that it does have both size headphone output jacks, which is perfect for working with clients who have their own headphones but not the adapter. These amps have plenty of clean, quiet gain. More than you will need and enough to blow up cans. It doesn't have an input trim so you ought to have some gain control at your source output. Your best bet is to run signal into this thing at unity gain. It is built very well and has a solid, steel chassis. Built in the USA, too.All in all a great piece of equipment that will save the day for only $

I am using this headphone amplifier as a distribution amplifier to route audio to a couple of devices and it is working great. I like the fact that each output has its own audio adjustment.

It's a great headphone amplifier, but what's also nice is it has one output for monitor speakers, with a volume knob control. We send this to the powered speakers in our school's edit lab, making it very easy to adjust volume independently to the headphones or the speakers at our Instructor station iMac.

I selected this headphone amplifier for my home studio after comparing many alternatives for one primary reason: Discrete, balanced inputs for all signals. Even though my snake from control room to studio is only 50 feet, it is enough to pick up line frequency hum for units with unbalanced inputs. The Tascam MH-8 has individual, Left/Right balanced inputs for 2 shared and 8 individual channel inputs which gives enormous flexibility on the back-side patch panel. Having 8 output channels is also an advantage vs the more typical 6 since most computer interfaces and mixers have groups of 8 channels for more of me use. The sound quality is very good, clean and dominated by the quality of the headphones used. I'll be picking up a 2'nd unit, chaining the 2 common inputs, and adding 8 more discrete inputs. I'm very satisfied with this unit.
