          Bought 2 of these for my dslr. One to use as a headphone amp from the A/V cable from my T3i,the other to boost the signal coming out of my Rode VideoMic,therefore using less of the awful built in preamp of the T3i. Both uses work flawlessly. I wish the battery life was a bit longer,but for less than $20 for two,that hardly anything to complain about. A solid buy.

            I purchased this amp to use with my cell phone (Pantech Link P7040) because the volume is just not loud enough with my headphones even at the max. Well I am very pleased with the volume now. I usually have it at the max level which is 7 & it is very low. Now with this little amp I am very satisfied with a volume of 3. I have had it for over a week & haven't had to change the battery yet. So in my opinion this is a great product that services its purpose & you certainly can't beat the price.

              Needed something to boost the headphone level of the Toshiba Thrive tablet. This is perfect. Less than $8 and quality is very good. No adjustments, just plug it in and it turns on. Just the right amount of boost. I also use it with the audio out of my Canon t2i.
