no
buy a good pair of powered studio monitors instead
they are like a comfy all in one
also headphones have no soundstage

Do your headphones or speakers require an amp?
If so, yes probably.
Buy an amp that matches your requirements, don't blow $1000+ on an amp for $200 headphones or a couple hundred dollar speaker set.

no, it doesn't do shit but make your headphones louder. only boomers who are losing their hearing use them.

they dont do anything besides doing the only thing they do

if headphones are inefficient: yes
otherwise: no
Luis Rivera
i mean, some headphone types are just not as efficient due to the tech they use.
Planar magnet drivers for example are inherently going to need a lot more power just due to what they are.
Joseph James
Probably yes but depends on your needed.
So far I have gotten away with using a DAC (Asus Essence One MKII) to use with my headphones (HiFiMan HE-400i) and two Active Speakers (Tannoy Reveal 502).
It is excessive but music quality is more than good and have advantage on both fronts depending on my preferences between either headphones or speakers (there are probably better systems, but for me it was worth saving up for).

I have a headset with a shitty mic, would it also amplify the mic?
