Description of 🎧 iFi Ear Buddy: Enhance Your Audio Experience with the Ultimate Travel Kit for Headphones and IEMs - Including Accessories and Audio Attenuator Cable

AUDIO OPTIMIZER - Ear Buddy reduces the hiss, pops, and background noise that distracts from your music. It ‘attenuates’ sound so you can hear optimized sound at amplified yet lower volume levels. SAVE YOUR EARS - Instead of blasting music to hear a little more sound, the amplifier expands the volume range where you can hear clear audio on lower volumes. HEAR MORE MUSIC - Get more from your sensitive headphones and earbuds with attenuated sound. Ear Buddy restores lost bits of sound that you lose when you lower the volume. When you add Ear Buddy in it adjusts the digital volume to -16dB, allowing you to get 2 Bits back. BUDDY FOR BUDS - Most attenuators are made for on-ear or over-ear headphones, but the Ear Buddy is great for earbuds or in-ear-monitors (IEMS). Ear Buddy is plug-n-play; connect directly to an audio source like a phone, tablet, laptop, or computer or place between DACs and amps. TRAVEL COMFORTABLY - Adapt sound from airplane in-flight system. INCLUDES: a travel case, gold-plated airplane adapter, and memory foam contoured earplugs (37dB noise reduction for reduced takeoff and landing noise!) NOTE: Depending on the device you use the Ear Buddy with, results may vary. The audio improvement may be more noticeable for some people and less for others.

Great Sound BUT YOU NEED More Expensive

The thing is excellent! BUT. The cord wears out quickly. I was amazed at how much the Trond receiver in the Etymotic Research headphones improved my sound. It is necessary. Except not THAT. Take a more expensive option from the same manufacturer: Ear Buddy. This one wore out in a few months, I mean it's completely worn out and gone. I have EarBuddy. Great sound and now I have a durable product. I am active but have used this dampener in a sedentary job. I kept the receiver and attenuator in my…

Pros
  • SAVE YOUR EARS - Instead of listening to music to hear a little more sound, the amp extends the volume range so you can hear clearer sound at lower volumes.
Cons
  • There are defects

Good product. I wish it had more levels.

Excellent product. I wish it had additional tiers, but I think it would be difficult to make it high quality and affordable. Basically it is an attenuator. Reduces volume for very sensitive headphones. I recently bought some high quality audiophile in-ear headphones which were very delicate. When I connected it to my smartphone, the sound was very loud. The obvious solution was to turn the volume down to about 1/10th, but this resulted in the music being close to the amp's noise floor. It seems

Pros
  • BUDDY FOR BUDS - Most pads are designed for in-ear or over-ear headphones, but Ear Buddy is great for in-ear headphones or in-ear monitors (IEMS). Ear Buddy is plug-n-play; Connect directly to an audio source such as a phone, tablet, laptop or computer, or place between the DAC and amplifier.
Cons
  • May cause injury

Pros
  • TRAVEL IN COMFORT - Customize the sound of the aircraft's onboard system. INCLUDES: travel case, gold-plated airplane adapter and memory foam ear tips (37dB noise reduction to reduce take-off and landing noise!) Results may vary depending on the device you use Ear Buddy with. The sound improvement may be more noticeable for some and less noticeable for others.
Cons
  • Expensive

20 dollars? The sound upgrade appears to cost over $200.

This is my first analog filter for analysis. I was initially skeptical because iFi made so many false claims about some of their products. For example I have their iPurifier 2 and iSilencer 3.0. It tweaks the performance and data a bit, but instead of removing the noise, it changes the sound. iPurifier 3.0 boosts low and mid frequencies and dampens high frequencies. iSilencer 3.0 is a slightly more neutral version of iPurifier 2, but less fun. Basically, it makes everything sound tight and…

Pros
  • TAKE CARE OF YOUR EARS. Rather than cranking up the music to hear a little more sound, the amp extends the volume range so you can hear clearer sound at lower volumes.
Cons
  • A small change
