I bought this just for the 3.5mm inline amplifying. It does work, but I found the amount of amplification was very little. Ie it only increased the volume a little bit. There is a volume control, and the increase in volume means the volume needs to be up full.
Definitely a convenient device with the pocket clip. It charges from USB, and seemed to retain charge when left sitting for a few weeks.
I like the physical buttons for On/Off and volume slider, as you know just where they are and what the setting is.
If you have a set of phones that are either high impedance or just plain inefficient and can't drive them as loud as you would like from a portable player/phone then this device is the answer. My favorite headphones don't go loud enough plugged into my mobile phone. But with this small and light device connected between my phone and my headphones amplifying the signal they go plenty loud enough. The amp is very good quality so the sound remains true to the original. Just a lot louder. The battery life is fantastic and the the physical slide volume control is great. Fantastic value and highly recommended.
I've coupled this with my PC tower and Beyer Dynamic DT880 headphones and I am very happy with the sound quality this produces.
