Free delivery and returns on eligible orders. Review: You need good headphones to get the best from this. - Very light, and really ups the game with good headphones! Review: Without many reviews I was skeptical, but is an amazing device! - Sure, there aren't many reviewers covering this and there still aren't any official cases for the device. But it does beyond just deliver for the form factor and asking price. From first impressions; Pros: Build quality is solid, feels premium, good accessories (loved the two bands to hold with other devices), Detailed, Low Noise Floor (Virtually Quiet), Warm (Musical) and Powerful. There is a noticeable boost in high gain. High gain pushes more energy which is more emotional (enjoyable), whereas Low gain seems more technical (a bit dry comparitively). Crossfeed has a noticeable affect, turning it off and on suddenly a few times (A/B testing) got me a bit dizzy as it caught me off guard, at least I know it works. It does have a few second delay in between the switch stopping and resuming playing, which helped my brain prepare for a sound change or I can imagine I would have had a bad headache without that gap. I wouldn't advise messing with that setting without being seated (repeatedly switching), as I know some people can be sensitive to sudden sound changes. Cons: The buttons aren't premium feeling and can rattle. The Current settings for my gear offered very little customisation to sound (from what I can hear, the high settings accentuate a U shaped signature, but just barely barely noticeable). The middle setting is too little a change to count as a step. But that's maybe asking too much from a device - it was an additional feature, don't think it worked with my gear, but maybe has more of an affect on different equipment. So mileage may vary. Aside from that (I did keep it on High for my use, as I'll take a U-shaped signature even if it's only 1db), I did prefer the high gain setting and crossfeed on when listening. The crossfeed was a bigger difference than expected which was a bonus. The overall experience was good, sound wise - excluding the features - delivers a very clean signal (no sibilance despite clarity in treble), bass response was noticeably better and the soundstage was a bit wider. The only downside was it quickly showed me the shortfalls of my single DD (Salnotes Zero), on a treble only track they were excellent and similarly on bass only, the bass is meaty and detailed, but with dynamic range my iem's struggled - until I switched to my 4BA (UE11's) where the amp helped them really shine. Definitely worth the asking price in my opinion, for what it delivers as is. ## Features - Class-A AMPs offer the best linear output, providing soft, warm, and natural sounds by amplifying signals without distortions or defect - 2-gain levels for powering your choice of headphones or earphones effortlessly - 3.5mm and 4.4mm independent audio circuitry - Class-A current control to finetune your sound - Hardware implemented crossfeed for lifelike stereo sound when using headphones - 12 hour battery life for all day use ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BPHVGJRY | | Best Sellers Rank | 76,451 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 432 in Hi-Fi Amplifiers | | Guaranteed software updates until | unknown | | Item model number | AK PA10 | | Manufacturer | Astell&Kern | | Product Dimensions | 14 x 7.3 x 2.3 cm; 325 g | ## Product Details - **Audio output mode:** Stereo - **Brand:** Astell&Kern - **Colour:** Graphite Grey - **Compatible devices:** earphones, headphones - **Connectivity technology:** 3.5mm, 4.4mm - **Connector type:** 4.4mm, 3.5mm - **Controller type:** Mechanical knob - **Product dimensions:** 2.3D x 73W x 14H centimetres - **Special feature:** Portable - **Surround-sound channel configuration:** 2.0 ## Images ![PA10 Portable Class-A Amplifier - Graphite Grey - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Qc-5yAfVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You need good headphones to get the best from this. *by S***S on 31 October 2025* Very light, and really ups the game with good headphones! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Without many reviews I was skeptical, but is an amazing device! *by A***R on 16 April 2023* Sure, there aren't many reviewers covering this and there still aren't any official cases for the device.
