Your typical computer speakers at the very least could be of some help here.

Re: Any amplifier recommendations for use with headphones on a Mac?

2014-10-25 Thread Dane Trethowan
I too have a hearing loss.

The trick here is to use something which has a headphones out, for example some 
readily available computer speakers have headphones out thus you can give your 
headphones that extra volume you need.

For example, my Altec Lansing computer speakers plug into the Mac’s headphone 
jack.

When in recovery mode volume - as I understand it - cannot be changed from the 
Mac so I change the volume of the Altec Lansing with headphones plugged in to 
compensate.

Your typical computer speakers at the very least could be of some help

Hi all -

When I booted in to repair mode [command r] and Fred began speaking, 
the volume output was so low I could hardly hear him, and found it 
difficult to understand what he was reading on the screen. I already 
have an fiio headphones amp, that does help with boosting sound in 
general, but I  could really do with something a bit more powerful, 
for situations like the above, but also for listening to music, 
especially when I use my excellent Beyer headphones with my iPhone 6. 
The Beyers have a great sound, but not enough power without being 
boosted.


Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks -

Andy
