Does the headphone jack on the volume pod amplify headphones? Thanks

when headphones are connected, the volume control on the 'device' does not increase or decrease the volume in the headphones. whatcha got is whatcha got. but the sound is fine.

I never tried them with headphones... I would guess that the volume control would modify the volume to headphones, but it definitely wont modify volume to the subwoofer.

You can control your headphones or earbuds via the output control on your computer (the little speaker icon on the bottom toolbar). Some systems have presets, but I just leave mine set for headpnones and let the amp in the speakers handle the room volume settings. That way I get the best of both worlds.

Yes, it does. In fact, with headphones, the sound is much louder than without. So be careful to turn the sound down as low as possible, to start, and then gently increase the volume to the desired level.

No, it doesn't. That's one of the silliest things about this design. Here's this extra piece of equipment on your desk, plus the extra wires, and it really serves no function at all. Much better to have volume controls on one of the speakers.

The headphone jack on the volume pod does NOT amplify headphones. I just tested this with multiple pairs. The headphone jack on the volume pod is simply a passthrough. It's no different than plugging them straight into your computer.

No. You have to set it through your computer or what ever you're hooking it to. But volume does come through very loud on moderate volume. So you may want to be sure the volume on the device is down to something really low, like say 2 or 4, so you can not blow your ear drums out first thing and adjust it to level you want afterwards

Yes. Audio comes out of headphones plugged into the aux out jack. The music still plays out of the speaker, though.

Yes. All other speakers go mute when the headphone jack is used. Practice away!

I don't know. I bought it to amplify headphones. It didn't work like I wanted it to. So I threw it away.

Hi John,This unit has four knobs on the front that allow you adjust the volume/amplification for four different pairs of headphones. There are ports on the back of the unit to plug in the headphones. When you rotate the knobs clockwise, they amplify the audio. I did not notice a big difference in amplifiation by simply plugging in the headphones......you must use the knobs to adjust the sound volume. I absolutely love this unit. In my opinion, it's a steal for the price. Good luck.Scott

It is an amplifier, which means it increases the volume all along the spectrum, but I would say that it only makes your headphones louder. I don't use it anymore with my headphones as they have sufficient volume without it, and makes it too loud for comfortable hearing if I crank it up.

No, it doesn't affect output volume, it changes only volume of signal, that you hear in your headphones. That's the point of this device)

It just takes input from the speaker output. It does not amplify only attenuate the speaker volume

I concur with Zapa but you may want to look at other options for amplification. At best, this only replaces a broken headphone jack.

I am not sure on the headphone jack. I know it has a 3.5mm input but I do not believe it has a headphone jack. I installed this for a customer so I don't have direct access to the unit. They carry it at many of the big box stores in which you may be able to look at on. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

You can plug your headphones into your iPod & listen to music but it won't be amplified no. There would be no reason to do that. In order to hear your music amplified you HAVE to plug your headphone into the amp itself. The amp does not transfer it's power to the phone. It just takes the signal, unamplified, applies it's amplification & sends that signal to it's output (aka headphone jack)

No, I'm afraid not. With a headphone connection, the audio signal is directed outward to the headphone's speakers; this is an AUX jack which does the exact opposite. It takes the audio signal from, my phone for instance, and directs it inward to be projected from the speaker. I was hoping for the audio jack myself, but this is definitely not it. The speakers themselves, I really like. I hope this answers your question.

Sorry, I meant to answer this sooner! Yes it does have a headphone jack. It's pretty sweet in general if you don't have a ton of money to spend on a hardcore set-up.

Yes. To amplify its sound you plug in on phones output (you choose either the bigger stereo plug output - called P10, it is the bigger plug - or the smaller stereo one, modeled P2, the same plug you have on your phones for pluging in on an MP3 player, or use the AUX output, stereo, like if you would plug in a Cd player, DVD or Blu-ray (the black and red plugs). So, summarzing it all, you have three ways to do it and they all work perfectly. No complocations! :-)

No it does not. In fact it actually amplifies them. I returned the aid I purchased.

Yes, the headphone jack is in the back of the unit. It is marked with a headphone icon.
