I got this little amp about 4 months ago and I've been using it with a pair of Logitech G Pro X headphones. When I got them, they were restrained by the output of my phone or the little DAC they came with. I got this amplifier and it has really brought out the potential of these cans. One of the first things I listened to was some Hans Zimmer and the experience was incredible, with the additional volume and depth this amplifier adds. I am not an expert when it comes to this particular niche, but I am a lover of good, loud music and if it's good enough for me, this amp is good enough for 99% of folks out there.
The amplifier is about 2/3 the size of your average smartphone, albeit a bit thicker. The case is painted metal; it has spent a bit of time in my backpack and pocket and so far, the finish has held up very well. It has also survived a few drops, it still functions properly and looks no worse for the wear. The knob has a heavy detent when clicking the amplifier on, and rotates smoothly with a confident amount of resistance. The connectors hold the 3.5mm cables in place firmly and have a satisfying snap into place. There is a small switch for going between low and high-level inputs which I have not had the chance to play with. Around the back of the amp is a charging port with a small indicator LED to tell you when it is full or charging. The MicroUSB connector (Sorry, no Type C) isn't showing any signs of fatigue yet and still holds the connector tightly. I am always dubious of stated battery capacity claims, but regardless of the ratings, I'll say I've used it for 6+ hours while flying cross-country and on layovers, without it dying on me. I haven't run it dry in the field yet.
My sole complaint is the included 3.5mm cable. It was too small to fit tightly in my other devices and would not work properly unless pressed. This was not an issue for me, though, as I used cables I already had on hand. If you need a cable to connect the amplifier to the source, I would recommend throwing one of those in your cart also.
Overall, for the money, this little guy is a great item. When I purchased it, I figured eh, why not? This is gift card money and if it breaks, I'm out $30. I am happy to report that this was not money wasted. If you have a set of headphones you want to unlock more potential from, but don't want to spend big money, the Neoteck is for you.

Product Description

If you prefer loudness and sound quality over convenience (e.g. wireless) this item is for you!
I like listening to my favorite music loud and clear, because I am a 'metal-head'. ;-)Therefore I like big headphones such as KOSS Pro4S or Sennheiser HD569, but big headphones perform very poorly on mobile devices, because mobile devices' internal amplifiers are very weak.This product performs way above expectations in said conditions so I would recommend it very much.Thank you for your time reading this.

As an Electrical Engineer, I had to know... so I took a tour inside the unit. This amp uses two of the venerable Burr Brown (now TI) OPA604 operational amplifier ICs. Tough and precise. Designed for quality audio amplification.
The HD6 has one Hell of a bass floor at 6Hz and they can be kind of boomy. They had no volume when just plugged straight into my PC. So, I bought this amp to combine with a Behringer MiniFBQ equalizer to take out some of the boom and I have been thrilled with both units. You'll need to get some adapters if you want to use the MiniFBQ because it is a recording-studio-class EQ, so, it only has 1/4 inch and RCA jacks.
If you use a good quality USB charger you can leave it plugged in all the time, so you won't run out of juice at an inopportune time. No noise, no hum. I'm using an old iPhone charger. I tried plugging it into the PC and it was noise galore. Don't go there.
This amp can blast your tunes into headphones and still sound clean!

When I bought this amp I was dubious whether it was going to fill the bill. Boy! Was I wrong! Even though its manual says it only puts out 40 Milliwatts, it can most assuredly blast your tunes with no distortion. I certainly wouldn't use it for anything but a headphone amp, but as a headphone amp, I was very surprised it performed beyond my expectations! My Sennheiser HD6 Mix headphones have an impedance of 150 ohms, which can be difficult for some cheaper amplifiers to drive to a decent volume, this amp has no problems. Good job Neoteck!Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2018
