Headphone Amplifier
There are plenty of designs for headphone amplifiers on the internet but they all seem to be needlessly complicated and expensive things for audiophools. For a start why go to the expense of a stereo volume control when whatever is playing the music already has one?
The one I made is nothing more than a pair of LM386s powered by a PP3 battery. Audiophools hate these saying they are noisy. Actually, they are but the quality of players that most of us have aren’t devoid of background noise anyway and it gets drowned out by the music.
Here are the PCB details in a ZIP.
