Headphones That Boom?

[@unboxtherapy]

Wanted to clarify a comment I've seen a few times in the section. In reference to volume, I was simply stating that in blind tests, variances in volume trick many listeners into believing they are listening to superior equipment. Not that volume is the single most important factor in sound reproduction but for most it is an important component.

[@NeloNath]

+Hieya I'm one of those...

[@GriffinBaxter]

Yeah, I agree. Is full volume on a phone without one of these not loud enough for some people?

[@mrjakobt]

+Griffin Baxter It's because some headphones have a higher impedance. I own some 600 Ohm headphones and they simply don't work with phones' integrated amplifiers. I even doubt the Boom stick will be able to push them.

External amps can definitely help a lot I use one with my PC setup, Sony MDR-XB500 headphones hooked into a Go-Vibe v4 portable amp which is connected to the soundcard's line output, it gave a huge boost in overall clarity and volume along with super clean / deep bass, I've been using this setup for years and it's very satisfying, haven't had the urge to change anything.

Hi guys, I want to start making review video's as well, do you have any tips for me? Thanks!

[@Pete0621]

feel like I'm in Scooby Doo with this music

[@BasementEngineer]

It boosts bass & treble. If you have cheap headphones that sound like shit because they don't respond well to particularly low or high frequency inputs, they boost the frequency extremes so you can hear them at louder levels relative to the midrange, which cheap 'phones do fine. It increases volume, too, if you want. That's what it does, without all the jibba-jabba foo :)

[@Shrubbery.]

Was wondering when you were going to do this video, I have had mine for a few months and I am loving them. Also if you hold the button down you get another sound boost.

Great review, but one thing you should do is to record the audio directly from the phone with an AUX configuration then just add the BoomStick in between. That way we hear everything clearly as if we were to listen it ourselves.

[@JeffJK000]

After some stalking, this Jack character went to Lakehead Uni between 2005 - 2009 and had work with/or for IBM.

[@zlDefcon]

what about an AUX cable to a car stereo?????

[@Cheezus]

+COMMA$ why? your car stereo already has an amp, all that would do is distort your signal going into the car.

[@zlDefcon]

Cheezus what if i want even more

[@Cheezus]

more distortion?

[@zlDefcon]

Cheezus what if my amp is ass, will this make it unass

[@Cheezus]

I doubt that. I highly doubt that. Considering the amp in this device is made to power personal hearing devices and the amp in your car is made to power car stereos. We're talking hundreds of times more power in car amps.

[@jakubmbiakob2779]

You could get the FiiO E6 for like $24 which does the same thing. Also the newer improved version which is called the FiiO A3 for $60. I got the E6 as part of a package deal when I bought my Audio Technica headphones and the amp does wonders to the sound. The sound is already good without the amp, but it makes the volume and clarity insane.

[@KokeLSG]

I never go over half of the allowed volume while using headphones so this product is useless to me.

[@AkagamiKenpachi]

I don't think you understand the point with the product, it's not for increase of the volume, it's it to amplify the sound, that means you make the sound better by increasing the bass or decrease it, simply it just make the sound better not increasing it

Everyone needs to buy one of these. So worth it! I have one for my car speakers and I literally hear parts of songs I've never heard before. It turns shit speakers to speakers better than beats. It's crazy cool so I suggest everyone get one.

[@tofu.delivery.]

That volume trick for marketing loudness, same as the gimmick that Best Buy uses to sell you that phone with Beats Audio. It's just an EQ with a bass boost, but you are going to want it over the phone without, even for $100 more. Marketing has a way with people's minds.

[@MrDorKanal]

1000%

[@RubikRocksMinecraft]

Yeah... don't just want lots of volume. Get noise canceling. Just upping the volume can cause more deafness.

[@cutealiens]

You should do a video where you try plugging the SleepPhones into the BoomStick. See if it helps fill out that sound.

[@chaybomusic]

the reason volume gives the illusion of quality is because our ears are less sensitive to bass and high range frequencies, the two most appealing areas of sound while listening to music, hence why if you crank up the volume the bass pops and you get more clarity.

[@Sendrummazing]

What if you plugged your headphones into a boomstick attached to another boomstick?

[@ianmcgaughey1]

Could you do a review of the Dragonfly Red headphone amplifier?

[@JoeVetriGamesx]

Are you going to be using this product in the future? for personal use*

[@compactc9]

Definitely has me interested, I just wish we didn't have the need to add another device between the headphones and mobile device. Though I guess part of the benefit of Apple removing the headphone port (if they actually do) is that all headphones will either have this kind of thing integrated into it, or use an adaptor like this, that plugs into the charging/data port. Though I really think, even if it added a little to the price, people wouldn't mind having their phones have an amp built in that performs like this one in the video.

[@GabrielIgnacio]

There are already a few smartphones with reputable amps and dacs built in, one of them being the LG V10. If one just wants a phone with loud sound output, HTC covers that too since they like to use high power headphone jack amps in their phones.

[@isaiasibarra2190]

would be a good idea to use a decibel meter when reviewing something with sound

[@chetkleppin7973]

Why not do a big give away of a ton of the products you've reviewed?

[@prestontechaira]

If you want better volume, go get a boostaroo audio enhancer/audio jack splitter

[@moreno2195]

You can just change the EQ on your phone. All it does is give it bass. It sounds good on my phone but my iPod every song sounds crappy Till I change it from hiphop to jazz. Makes it seem like it adds massive volume. In my opinion it just adds bass.

[@mile215]

Bro where do you get all your music from I'm loving those beats

[@wyattstempel5850]

Hey! All of your videos are awesome!! There are some light up LED shoes that maybe you could go over!

[@3leggedcat]

Phone headphone output levels are limited to prevent hearing damage. This bypasses that limit.

[@sincethesurgery]

Compare to the FiiO E6? $23-27 on Amazon. It's not the best headphone amp, but it is so tiny and better than any other "cheap" portable amp I've tried. There is also a new FiiO A1, which replaces the E6 that is higher quality (less plastic-y). I highly recommend the E6 for anyone who uses headphones with a Nintendo 3DS or PS Vita. I can't recommend it enough. I'd love to see Lewis unbox/review the A1 if it is available now. or other FiiO products. They make some really fantastic (and affordable) audio products.

[@a94120905702]

Hey luis, do u have a playlist or something of the music u lisent to?, i like a lot the beats you put in the videos....thanks!! love the channel

[@ClintMaas]

My first headphone amp was the Fiio E6 which is less than $25 and I am positive it outperforms this $100 unit. I just have to question a product named BoomStick. I use a amp/dac now but for the casual listener, save your money.

[@THEIMMORTAL223]

wonder if it would work on a car stereo? seems like I'm tempted to buy it.

[@TheBigupz]

i own thoose SRH440 too, they're amazing for the price

[@PunjabiMafia187]

it shouldn't really matter with the earpods though...the phone has enough power to power those headphones...wouldn't increasing the volume on those just distort the sound, or even possibly damage the drivers?

[@Magmaa]

Connect them to your bass.

[@theurgy69]

Powerful Lewis! Shout out to the JRE fans out there!

[@GabrielIgnacio]

While I like the concept of it supposedly scanning your music in real time and then adding tweaks where necessary, there's only so much upscaling you can do to a low quality audio file to make it sound better. Without that, this is basically just an amp, one directed towards the more average consumer who only cares about how loud the volume gets. Then again, I already own a phone with a music player that can upscale audio playback to 32-bit and a built in DAC and amp which can power higher resistance cans so the Boomstick won't appeal to me. I do agree with the notion that certain headphones sound vastly different when driven with more power though.

[@Doddlejumpertime]

What was the name of the song he was playing on his headphones?

[@Blakout911]

Does it actually improve quality or just make the sound louder? I dont care if its louder but if the quality is better thats a purchase for me

Thanks for the vid. Unfortunately, volume isn't everything. Does it improve on the bass, mids and highs or is volume the only difference you noticed? 😶

[@ErickTheKidCruz]

can't forget about audio compression.

[@TechToderici]

By having a microusb port im guessing it needs to be charged? Or am I wrong?!

[@whitb003]

Looks just like an FM transmitter I had back in the day.

[@Jasonlimitless]

Well you didn't actually say whether the quality is better or not? Having a better amp driving the phones will undoubtedly improve the sound, but as you said, being louder may make you think it sounds better even if it doesn't. You could have just levelled the volume with and without the boom and then told us how it actually affects audio quality/EQ etc.

[@Eric_Rossi]

Could this also feed through audio? Like if I was recording audio into a device.

[@kg3658]

nice James Bond sound in the background !

[@randomtube8226]

Is it compressing the audio to make it louder or just amplifying what you put into it?
