This is a workhorse of an headphone amplifier. With she three simple controls, it can go from clean with a bit of breakup to full-out distortion.Coupled with a quality pair of headphones (I use gaming headphones with a volume control), this is a great tool to crank your guitar without annoying neighbors, spouses, and pets.Though I fully believe in the adage, “if we’re too loud, you’re too old”, I can also respect the fact that some people, maybe most people, don’t want to hear me play (yet!).I can’t speak to its longevity but, so far, I’m really enjoying the simple versatility and usefulness of this headphone amp. Thanks!

I use this amp with full size Audio Technica headphones with a reverb and compressor pedal. Noise from the amp is well controlled and the design is very utilitarian. I wish the case, pots and switches were of a higher quality. The charging cable is well made and functional. It seems as if this is a pretty typical price point and if something happened to this one I would probably buy this again. I have been playing guitar for decades and am a precessional live sound and recording engineer.

The ¼ inch plug was bent on arrival. The headphone jack was intermittent. Returned for refund.

This has to be the worst headphone amp I’ve encountered. This makes AM radio sound sensational. The sound output is a mixture of hiss and lifeless dull sound. I am extremely happy to be able to return it.

Pros: easy to use, rechargeable battery and cable included, sounds good enough for practice, great if you stand to practice since no other cables but the headphones.Cons: older style USB charging cable/input , control labels are small & hard to read with old eyesConclusion: great purchase, recommended

Obviously the sound quality is lesser than VOX Bass headphone amp, however, the rechargable battery and lesser cost stand as advantage. I use Ibanez bass, which works well with this. A great tool for playing alone at home or whilst traveling. AUX and bluetooth speaker with AUX jack are the only things need to play alongside at firepit with guitar (s). The only issue is a little bit of white noise and a low sound quality when music is played from other devices such as laptop or phone, but for the price, I complain not.

Other than that it works as advertised, BUT...For me, the dimensions are awkward...If you play a Strat type guitar it will stick out awkward.If you play a Les Paul it will stick out awkward.Only if you use a short cable and let it dangle onyour strap will it be out of the way...Other than those things I'm Okay... It's a convenientlittle gizmo for playing in the car or on the porch or thatkind of thing...

My expectations are pretty low for these cheap devices. Here's what I'm hoping for in a good guitar headphone amp: simple features, usb charge, solid build, low background noise, and auxiliary input in (for connecting bluetooth receiver). The Traveler is now my favorite, no-drama solution. It delivers what it promises and deserves your consideration.I've got a lot of broken VOX units around the house and recently got disgusted with the brand after two broke within a month of average use. No more.In my experience, the Traveler is best in class. But in general, I'm puzzled why manufacturers aren't treating these devices seriously. They just don't seem to understand me as a consumer. I would pay more for a better quality unit.I DON'T actually want headphone amps to try offer a range of tones and simulate high-end equipment (always poorly). I have actual amps for that. I'm not looking for a substitute. If I'm using one of these devices, I'm trying to focus on the fundamentals without distractions. Manufacturers should too.The perfect, dream device (which I have not found yet) would feature:- Solid metal build for absolute durability- few moving parts- small, low profile (when plugged in to guitar)- volume control, on/off switch. That's about it.- switches and dials designed to avoid accidental changes (bumping, etc.)- built-in BLUETOOTH receiver!!!!- well positioned headphone jack (an easy-release solution would be ideal, in case headphone cord gets jerked out)- usb enabled charge; long battery lifeIf a device like that comes along, I'll be first in line to sign up. Let me know. In the meantime, The Traveler is probably as good as it gets for my needs.

La pila recargable es una gran ventaja. Es compacto y suena bien aunque tiene algo de ruido, por eso no le doy 5 estrellas.

This headphone amp goes from slightly crunchy to full out distortion for your practice on the road or at home. I have a Pro-Series Traveler, which I specifically chose so I wouldn't need power to practice with it on the road. However, as another reviewer stated, using the stethophone for long periods of time hurts your ears (maybe not for smaller heads). In my case, after pulling it wider many times, I can now play about 45 minutes or so before I need to stop. To take my Traveler on vacation instead of a business trip, I needed to be able to play longer than 45 minutes at a time. This fit the bill perfectly - I can play for hours. As a bonus, when my amp recently went in the shop, I was able to use this on my full size guitar to get me through. I also love the fact it has a rechargeable battery.Be aware that there is basically no clean tone with this. Even at the lowest gain, unless you pull the guitar volume back quite a bit, it will still have a little crunch. If you mostly play clean, there is a separate "acoustic" version.I have not suffered delay as someone else noted, nor any fit issues. Some reviewers complain about the sound; this has a very serviceable sound at tremendous convenience for a very low price. It's plenty adequate to practice.

With respect to rating the features of this product, I think "they" failed to tout the most important feature of all... CONVENIENCE. Heck, I can stick this puppy in my shirt pocket (or my Man-Bag) and easily take it with me (along with my ear-buds) and am good-to-go without having to carry a pedalboard and connection cables! I say again - CONVENIENCE - THAT's what I paid for and THAT's exactly what I GOT! SO WHAT if the "FX" aren't awesome!? You want awesome, then carry your workstation or pedalboard & cables. So... VALUE? Great. VERSATILITY? It really ain't that. ACCURACY? Of what... manufacturer's performance claims? They didn't say it was INCREDIBLE, did they? No. Bottom line - everything works fine and I LIKE IT. NOW... if I can just get used to NOT accidentally yanking the ear-buds out of my ears while I play!!! Good luck to ya and ROCK ON!
