Charming and compact: the Pro-Ject Head Box E is an affordable, no-nonsense headphone amplifier that punches above its weight.
Many audio sources—such as CD players or even some streamers—either lack a quality headphone amplifier or don’t include one at all. That’s where the Pro-Ject Head Box E comes in. It’s a perfect solution for anyone who wants to enjoy private listening without sacrificing audio quality. And at this price point, it’s hard to resist.
When you purchase the Head Box E, you’re getting a fully discrete headphone amplifier. Pro-Ject states that low-noise components are used throughout. The little powerhouse delivers up to 765 mW at 32 ohms, which is significantly more than the mediocre headphone outputs found in many standard audio devices.
The amplifier features a metal housing, and for headphone connectivity, you get both 6.35 mm and 3.5 mm outputs—both of which can be used at the same time. On the input side, there’s a stereo RCA line input. Frequency response is rated from 20 Hz to 80 kHz.
And the best part? It’s priced at just €119, available starting this month.
