You will need an amp. Unfortunately a regular mp3 or anything that simply plays music will not generate enough watts to properly power the headphones. You can still use the headphones without an amp, but they will be seriously underpowered. To the point sound will be a whisper no matter how loud you turn up the volume.

You don't need a headphone amp to drive the AKG K702. But if you use the AKG K702 with mobile phones and mp3 players, you will not be satisfied with the sound as these music players don't have sufficient power to drive it (the AKG K702 is well know for its demanding power requirements). Plus the AKG K702 won't achieve it's full potential when partnered with low power music players found in mobile phones. You have two options: (1) Find a pair of headphones that's suits your music player(s) e.g. Audio-Technica ATH-M50x; (2) If you must have the AKG K702, buy a portable piggy-back headphone amp (e.g.FiiO E12 Mont Blanc Portable Headphone Amplifier) to partner your mobile music player.

its basically a mixer, no power to speak of, you get a preamp when using the xlr input and the corresponding input thats below it. you need either an amp or powered speakers, Im using some cheap though nice sounding altec lansing monitors. Im going for small, large amps are a pain to carry around!

I am a professional radio mix show dj and I have mixed my show utilizing a Logitech X-530 5.1 system for years. I am personally looking to upgrade now since my amp seems to be dying. I can't turn up my sound past a certain volume anymore without the speakers cutting in and out so it has to be the amp. To answer your question, yes, without question!

You will have to get a digital to analog converter to plug into the analog ports on the back of the amp, but other than that these will give your headphones some serious bass. I'm not an audiophile, but I don't notice any distortion in the headphones until they're being over-driven. I have some Bose OE headphones and they work much better with the amp, rather than the audio card that came on my gaming computer.

It is a headphone amplifier......you plug in the headphones...and then you have a minijack for feeding in an IPOD...You can use virtually any device that has a headphone output.....This little amp will boost the output and tonal quality immensely. I have the version with the 3 band EQ...but it works the same way. The vacuum tube ispart of the amp circuit...and it warms up the signal....similar to the higher priced audiophile tube powered amplifers.

From my understanding this is for bi-amping. I own a set of them though and they come with a bracket that bridges the posts so that you can use them normally. Basically if you intend to use these with any normal surround setup you should just leave them the way they come with that bracket and they sound absolutely amazing.

There is an input for your guitar and an output for your headphones. You don't need an amp to use this device because you will hear sound from your PC. However there is a slight time delay is what you will hear from your PC, this will throw off your timing. I don't recommend this device because of the poor quality sound and the time delay. The software that comes with the device is an old version and is buggy. You are better off just plugging your guitar to your amp and then run an output wire from the amp into your PC input. Your PC has much better control and the quality is much better. The only thing the device software you will miss are the many effects and amp sounds that you won't get with your amp unless you have a pedals and nice amp system.

The amp will work whether or not the controls do. Turning on and off the passthrough and the bass boost are both switches, separate from the iPhone controls (play/pause, vol up, vol down) and it has it's own power supply. Though I haven't tried it personally, it should work fine as an amp on anything with a 3.5mm plug.

If youre playing it by itself your amp is your limit. If played in conjunction with other signals a mixer of some sort would definitely be necessary.

You will have to purchase one. To date I have updated the amp via Bluetooth through my iPad.

need an amp of some sort. Be careful - not "these!" Unless things have changed this is not for a pair. When I purchased it was for one speaker only. I just read the other guys response and I have no idea what he is talking about. These are ABSOLUTELY not self amplified.

I connected it to the AMP directly. However it doesnt have good sound resolution. I would avoid if you are looking for excellent sound quality.if however you have a Computer 5.1 set like Creative speakers, etc. It is functional...

Yes this basically is just a headphone amp which will amplify the sound. This amp is great, and will enhance the sound quality. Can be used with any sort of headphones, earbuds, and stereo's.

Of course!&#128516; that's what it's for.... But you would want to play higher quality music beacause.... Well it's better! Make sure the headphones you are using have a pretty low impendense. The amp is really designed for mid phyletic phones/portable.

Hi Joe, to be honest with you I returned this. It didn't work for me either. I tried to plug them into a amp and nothing. Definitely cheap and not worth the money if you ask me.
