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.
