What customers say about "Key Specs"
Fiio E6 Portable Headphone Amplifier
  • I have used this product for over two years and it still works like a charm.
  • This device is a must for any headphone enthusiast or average user. Highly recommend!
  • Drives my Sennheiser HD 380 Pro with a visible difference in the listening experience, especially in the Bass mode.
  • After 1 session and a recharge the unit stopped working.
  • This doesn't really improve the sound quality except to make it a little bit louder.
Fiio A1 Silver Portable Headphone Amp A1
  • Cool little amp that will juice up your wired headphones enough to draw out more audio detail and volume than your standard smartphone.
  • Satisfied with the moderate amplification and slight improvement in sound quality (especially noticeable in bass tones).
  • I was hovering between liking it and loving it at first, but after further use I'm definitely loving it!
  • Overall pretty great, specially for the price. Solid construction, Solid sound.
  • A1 looks nice and feel nice but lacking is sound. I don't sure this is a good value for money.

What customers say about "Features"
Fiio E6 Portable Headphone Amplifier
  • This amp allows me to listen to music for longer periods of time without getting fatigue or headaches.
  • The divice fill out the breadth of the sound stage and widen sound stage in all frequency areas.
  • Sound quality is well improved. Useful EQ settings and overall wonderful design.
  • The Amp itself worked fine to boost the signal from an XBOX One controller headphone out to headphones.
  • Doesn't work with Ipod earbud controls, battery life is short, controls are awkward.
Fiio A1 Silver Portable Headphone Amp A1
  • What's great about this this device is that the sound from the headphones is so much more rich and the sound just feels more full.
  • So good! Every frequency across every range was boosted perfectly, within proportion of the others, and with a power I've not yet seen from anything else under $300.Just buy this thing!
  • It also comes with a clip so that you don't have to carry it in your pocket or bag. The battery lasts quite a while.
  • It does absolutely nothing to amplify the sound. I have an aux input that is lower volume than other sources.
  • The on-off/EQ button is a joke. I can’t ever tell what setting it’s on except by repeatedly pushing it and listening for the sound changes.
