ART HP-1 Reviews

Solid performance

By Brent

This unit is built very well. I use it to silently practice with my phone and 6 string bass with a 3.5mm splitter. The output on it isn't as good as others so I suggest not using semi open back headphones like I have. However, sound quality is great, it's easy to use, isn't too expensive, and is much easier than toting around a headphone amp that has a wall wart.

Does the job

Where is the switch that flips it from 'Mono' to 'Stereo?' The manual shows it near the volume knob, but there's nothing there.
Asked by: Bobby
According to page 03 in the manual, the mono/stereo switch is inside of the battery compartment. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/836189.pdf
