A friend has started doing online transcription work (via the computer) and isn't getting enough volume through her (good quality-Sony-32 ohm) headphones.

 

The problem is mostly because of the way people speak, with fluctuating sound levels and occasionally swallowing words.

 

Any suggestions for brands of headphone amps?

 

There seems be plenty on offer at AliBaba but it's hard to tell how good the stuff is, or whether it'll do the job at all.

 

Budget up to say, $NZ75

 

Thanks :-)

 

PS: An old regular amp might do the job, but it's kinda overkill...

My colleague swears by Fiio, you can find them on Ali Express - I can't comment further unfortunately

FIIO in that price bracket. Not much else compares.

I've got a Topping-TX1 amp which can drive headphones and speakers.

 

Love it for the bookshelf speakers in my office.

I have a fiio e17 that I've never used, got box and everything. Been wanting to sell that for a while.
