Designed to amplify any pair of headphones with ultra-low distortion and rich articulation, the Violectric V280 headphone amp is one portable amplifier that doesn’t cut corners on performance. German-engineered with the goal of driving low-, medium- and high-impedance headphones with symmetrical amplification, the V280 can output an impressive 5.3 watts at 100 ohms. For standout sound quality, the V280 comes equipped with Violelectric’s highly regarded V200 amplifier technology, which many listeners describe as both detailed and tube-like. On its front, the amp features two standard quarter-inch headphone jacks and one balanced 4-pin XLR output. Summing the V280 up in a glowing review, Headphone Guru writer Peter Pialis calls it “a brilliant option for anyone looking for some tube magic on a solid state setup, and an amplifier that can pretty much power anything you can throw at it.”
