Review: Low Ohm Cans Only! - Okay for low ohm cans like 7506's, but hook up a pair of 250 ohm cans (DT 880 Pro for example) and volume is woefully lacking. ## Features - 4-channel Headphone Amp with 4 Independent High-power Stereo Amplifiers - 1/4" 1/8" Stereo Outputs per Channel - 2 Stereo Inputs ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01MUUG22U | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #169,576 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #261 in Headphone Amps | | Cable Feature | Retractable | | Compatible Devices | Headphones | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Control Method | Remote | | Control Type | Volume Control | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (33) | | Date First Available | February 15, 2016 | | Earpiece Shape | Over-ear cups | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00885038038825 | | Hardware Interface | 1/4-inch Audio | | Headphones Jack | 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) and 6.3 mm (1/4 inch) headphone outputs | | Included Components | Power Supply, Quick Set Up Guide | | Input Device Interface | Audio jack | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 2.12 pounds | | Item model number | HP4E | | Manufacturer | AKG | | Material | Metal | | Model Name | HP4E | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 10 x 6 x 9 inches | | Series Number | 885038038825 | | Special Feature | Lightweight | | Supports Bluetooth Technology | No | | UPC | 885038038825 | | Unit Count | 1.00 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AKG - **Color:** Black - **Ear Placement:** Over Ear - **Form Factor:** Over Ear - **Noise Control:** None ## Images ![HP4E 4-Ch Headphone Amplifier - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610FrWsI5xL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do these provide 250 or 660 ohms of power for headphones?** A: Well, ohms don't measure power. Ohms are a measure of impedance. With that said, AKG bills the HP4E as providing 600 Ohms of output impedance. I use it with 600 Ohm AKG K240s (the old Austrian made ones) and it works great. **Q: Can I connect it to tv?** A: Yes. However, you will need some sort of adapter/cable depending on what output your TV has. If your TV has a 1/8" stereo headphone output get a 1/8" to stereo 1/4" inch "Y" cable. **Q: Will this provide 250 ohms to my headphones?** A: Hi, yes bro it done **Q: Can I run an instrument thru it?** A: I have to disagree with the other answers here. Absolutely, you can get stellar tone using this as an amplifier for your instrument - but with a few considerations / adjustments. I have plugged my Rickenbacker 4003 bass into the HP4E and obtained beautiful tone. This is due to this AKG's strong point - it's excellent stereo amplifiers - which are warm and clear - unparalleled actually in my experience for headphone amps. But since there is no EQ of any kind on the AKG, you would want to use an equalizer before plugging in. Even better, I used a Tech 21 Sansamp VT which gave me both excellent tone (since its EQ is designed for bass) and excellent impedance matching. It might be limiting for guitar, but again - this unit's strong point is its amplifiers - they're wonderful. And since it has 1/4 inch inputs, you can plug your instrument straight in and with good headphones you'll hear the quality. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the Value. *by A***D on March 12, 2020* I use AKG HP-4E to drive my HD650, and it works pretty well. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Low Ohm Cans Only! *by N***K on April 3, 2017* Okay for low ohm cans like 7506's, but hook up a pair of 250 ohm cans (DT 880 Pro for example) and volume is woefully lacking. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for recording. Audiophiles look elsewhere. *by K***N on April 27, 2021* Got this to pair with my mixer/interface so that all artists recording can hear the mix through their own headphones instead of using speakers. Does this job very well. I also use this to host small listening parties and to test headphones side by side without the need for constantly plugging and unplugging. For these latter cases, I use an ODAC as the input. Pros: - lots of ports for headphones with 1.4" and 3.5mm endings (8 in total, 4 1/4", 4 3.5mm) - A & B input switcher - can get very loud but your mileage may vary based on headphones and their impedances - very forward sounding; good for recording with different instruments Cons: - no rubber feet. When I first got it, it would not stay put since its bottom is flat with no grip. Had to place my own nonstick feet. - no power switch - blue power light is very bright. I stuck on a piece of electrician's tape because it's very piercing in dark rooms - not neutral - inputs clash and bleed into each other (i.e. when something is playing through input A, you can hear it a bit if you've selected input B on the amp and vice versa) - not the cleanest sounding amp (lots of noise when volume is turned up) ## Frequently Bought Together - AKG HP4E 4-Ch Headphone Amplifier - Sennheiser HD 280 Pro Headphone, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/44448726-hp4e-4-ch-headphone-amplifier](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/44448726-hp4e-4-ch-headphone-amplifier) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
