Hi All, Pardon me if this is a repeat of my previous suggestion. I can't remember where I posted it.
I use a small, AA cell powered, headphone amp called a "Boost-A-Roo". It's not a whole lot bigger than the 2 AA cells that power it. It has output jacks for 3 pairs of headphones. It's either on, or it's off! So, if you want volume control (other than what your rig provides), you need headphones with an inline volume control. I use this particularly with my KX-1 and ATS-3, as well as with my laptop, particularly on noisy airplanes. The cost is somewhere around $20-$30, depending on where you look. Seems to go a long time on the 2 AA cells.
