AQUA = Audio QUAlity!

aqua_headphone_amplifier_1

It may interest you to know that those fancy Beats headphones aren’t really improving the audio quality of your music. Increased bass is usually perceived as good, but heavy bass and high fidelity audio are definitely not the same thing. You’ll find that with phones, the common problem is that most mobile phones downsample your audio during playback. Why? Because they don’t come with an inbuilt amplifier. That’s why an external amp can really make a difference.

Most external amps have this reputation for being huge pieces of equipment that require a power source, but the Aqua is different. Touted as the world’s lightest portable amp that works without a battery or an external power source, the Aqua is sure one piece of sorcery! Housed in a sleek and edgy CNC Machined Aluminum case, the Aqua is so light you won’t even notice it’s there. Hail Audio! Hail Aqua!
