headphone amp
Personal listening amplifier
A headphone amp is an audio amplifier designed specifically to drive headphones.
Standard audio outputs from computers, phones, or receivers may lack the power to drive high-impedance headphones properly, resulting in weak or distorted sound.
A dedicated headphone amp provides cleaner amplification and better volume control: The new headphone amp really opened up my studio monitors.
