Headphone amplifiers deliver power to the drivers, just as an amplifier does with a pair of passive speakers. In some cases you might find your headphones lacking volume or clarity depending on the source driving them; if that&#8217;s the case, you might want to look into a dedicated headphone amp.<\/p>\n<h2>What Do Headphone Amplifiers Do?<\/h2>\n<p>Headphone amps function very similarly to those that drive full-sized passive speakers, just with less power. They&#8217;re able to raise a low-voltage signal sent from a source such as a computer, mobile device, turntable, or otherwise, up to an optimal level that the headphone drivers (speakers) can reproduce.<\/p>\n<p>Many headphone amps also contain built-in digital-to-audio converters (DAC), which help boost the audio signal coming from say, a PC laptop. Our computers\/tablets\/smartphones\/etc. do have DACs themselves, hence this is why you can plug headphones straight into their 1\/8&#8243; jack; however, the quality of these varies from device to device, and a headphone amp provides reliable quality. With analog devices, like a turntable, you don&#8217;t need a DAC \u2014 the source already sends a low-voltage analog signal which the headphone amp can boost.<\/p>\n<h3>What to Look for in a Headphone Amp<\/h3>\n<p>The most important thing to look for in a headphone amp is its impedance range. This determines its compatibility with your given headphones that have an impedance rating of their own. Headphone impedance ranges anywhere from 8 to 600 ohms, with higher ratings requiring higher voltage to sufficiently drive. Compare your headphone impedance to the range provided by the amplifier; as long as it falls within the amp&#8217;s range, it&#8217;ll power your headphones.<\/p>\n<p>A common impedance rating is 32 ohms, and these headphones work well with consumer devices like laptops and smartphones. As impedance increases, so does the likelihood you&#8217;ll need a headphone amplifier to get the best quality out of your cans. A general rule of thumb is that higher impedance headphones reproduce sound with greater fidelity, making them more suitable for audiophile and critical listening purposes.<\/p>\n<p>You might also consider whether you&#8217;d like a portable headphone amp or a desktop one; you&#8217;ll have to verify that the I\/O on the amp matches the signal source; if you&#8217;re using it with a digital consumer device, double check that the amp has built-in DAC; and you might even take aesthetics into account, especially if you plan to have an amp live on your desk at home. All of these can factor into your decision on which is the best headphone amplifier for you.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/what-is-impedance\/\">What Is Impedance in Audio?
