So are you in a crafty mood? Break out your soldering iron and choke down a tin of Altoids- MAKE Magazine has a nice little project for the audio geeks. In the forums and frequently in our IRC channel we often discuss Headphone amps. These amps typically sit in between your MP3 player and your headphones. The amp will drive more demanding headphones and can also enhances sound quality. Headphone amps can range from $9 to thousands of dollars.
Interestingly, the basic function of a headphone amp, amplifications, requires relatively few components so it’s even a great beginner project. Check out the video below, then head over to MAKE to download the schematics.
