Good with an Android phone headset jack or is it double-amping? (not line out like i-phone) Same with HDTV headset port? For ATH M50 earphones.

It is indeed of course double-amping. For the M50's this doesn't make sense. If your phone is giving it enough power and you don't need it louder, you're essentially just introducing added distortion and affecting the tone in a subtle random way. That's it really..

You can adjust the volume and gains. I've used this amplifier behind a PC headset jack (Apple MacBook Pro and Lenovo W530), Bose PC speaker jack (powered), and behind a Onkyo receiver. If already amplified, it's more important to adjust the gains and volume level to compensate but it's very simple. In all cases the sound qualified was significantly improved and the only time it didn't make a noticeable difference was behind a DAC which says a lot.

All I can tell you that I have used a 2.5 mm adapter with another brand (Plantronics) and it works ok with my cordless phone. I use the Sennheiser for high quality Audio. For low quality phone audio,any cheap Headset should work.

That's a strange question, hdmi connector is one big head. But for analog, have you tried the head phone jack up top for audio out?

If the audio jack works with the headsets with inline mics then my best guess is yes, I remember reading somewhere that some audio jacks have the power switched around on some of the internal lines on these things, I've never had an issue yet. I use it with my iphone 5 and my nvidia shield (android). Hope this helps :-)

I used for an iPhone. Didn't try for android. But they sound awful. Keep away.

the cable provided with audio technicia M50X are customized to fit these only. these are alot geneeric. Same goes for the slot/port in the headphone, the normal 3.5 mm jack will not fit in the slot. S you cant use any other cabe other than 3 cables provided by company. I was also a bit disappointed after finding that such good headphone dont have microphone jack or volume control integrated with the cable.

MM - No headset jack. Check out the new exciting VTech models which feature a cordless headset. Total mobility! Thanks.

I don't think it would be s waste. I plug the HD590 directly to my HTC One all the time, but while at the studio, I use headphone amps for an extra boost in sound. Hopefully, this answers your question.

Not really. I purchased this along with my pair of ATH-M50s, and was disappointed. Headphone amplifiers are more designers to provide higher power to run the drivers on studio headsets, as opposed to delivering better sound quality. If you were to plug your new set of ear cans into a regular headphone jack, (like a cellphone) you would notice an appreciable amount of decreased max volume. That is what headphone amps remedy, although there are much better options than this one. I returned mine.

Jerry, I have the ATH-M30 and ATH-M45. Both excellent headphones. I also use them to play my guitar through. I have played pretty loud without an break up or clipping, and they still sound great. Any speaker or headphone can be damaged if you push too many watts through the coil. The M30 handles the bass end very well, with clarity. Turning the volume and bass to extreme levels might damage the headset. It is difficult to know at what level there will be damage, until you get there. Good luck. They do sound good through a Strat, don't they!

Hi There. Yes, you can use this with a 2.5mm headset jack. You'll need to purchase an adapter which we sell through our website. Please let me know if you have anymore questions.

It depends on what you intend to use them on. I have no experience of the ATH M50, but I do own the Shure SRH440, which would be okay for hifi listening, although it easily slides off the back of the head if you sit right back. I would not recommend it for music production though, as it is very forgiving, and will therefore produce poor mixes and have a tendency to 'big-up' the sound. It would also 'big-up the sound of your voice if you are recording it, thereby producing an underwhelming performance.

I found this on the ATT website....Headset compatible (2.5mm jack) - I see the cover for the jack on my phone but haven't tried to open it cause I don't have a need for a headset...so my answer would be "YES"

The headphones actually have a 2.5mm jack for plugging into the Xbox controller...you would need an adaptor or the right cable o connect them to a cell phone...fyi, it comes with a 2.5mm audio cable. But you need you would still need the adaptor(i.e. 2.5mm female to 3.5mm male). Also, it's a Mini USB port for charging, not a micro USB port.As for comparing these, I haven't tried out the A50, definitely better than the A30...but Astro made these headphones, too...with the intent of giving them as much sound quality as possible. At least these headphones don't distort if the volume or bass goes too high.

I don't have an Android. The jack would be fine. But I don't know about controlling the music from the earpiece. Sorry.

I have a pair of these and I love them. The jack is at a 45 degree angle (never saw that before). I use them with my computer, my LG smartphone and my Acer tablet. All work the same. For the best sound, follow the suggestion for burning in the drivers.
