Best Electric Guitar Headphone Amps of 2025

"As a metal guitarist, I was blown away by the distortion. After 20+ years of playing, I've never experienced this level of distortion before. I had to dial it down 20% to clean up the tone a tad. It’s crazy how versatile the tone dial is—just a little adjustment makes a big difference!"

"I needed something small, rechargeable, and quiet for practice, and this amp fits the bill perfectly. It amplifies the guitar sound in my headphones, and while I do wish it had Bluetooth for easier connectivity, it performs well for the price."

"I bought this thinking it might not work well, but I'm pleasantly surprised. For $30, it sounds pretty good! It even connects to a Bluetooth speaker through aux, making it a handy mini amp for on-the-go practice."

"I’m really happy with this product. The sound quality is surprising. I take it to work to play during my lunch break. The tone and volume adjustments are great. It works just fine with my active bass."

"With my 2-year-old sleeping, this pocket amp has been a lifesaver. I can practice quietly with my headphones. It's super easy to use and store away. Perfect for all skill levels!"

"I was a bit skeptical at first since it was cheaper than other brands, but it turned out to be exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend it!"

"I love the versatility of the channels! The clean channel offers decent headroom, and the drive channel can handle classic rock tones beautifully, especially when I crank the gain."

"I appreciate the simplicity of this device. Just plug it in and it works! The built-in drum machine and effects really enhance my practice sessions without needing any extra apps."

"While it looks a bit cheap and plastic, the sound quality is surprisingly good. The clean and overdrive channels provide a lot of dynamic tones, which I didn't expect at this price."

"As a 36-year-old father, I’ve been searching for a headphone amp to use with my iPad for Yousician. This device has exceeded my expectations! It’s incredibly easy to set up—just plug it into my bass, connect headphones, and link it to my iPad via USB. The sound quality is fantastic, and I love exploring different amp models and effects. Now, I can practice anywhere without the hassle of multiple cables!"

"I’ve been eagerly anticipating a product like this, and it’s finally here! The simplicity and power of this device are impressive. I can connect it to my phone and headphones, and it delivers great sound. Thank you, Fender, for this awesome tool!”

"My experience with the Mustang Micro has been incredible! It’s a game-changer for my practice routine. The compact size and ease of use make it perfect for playing at home without disturbing anyone. The sound quality is outstanding, and the battery life is exceptional. This is a must-have for any guitarist!”

"I think it's an amazing product. While the sound isn't as great as a good amp, this is a must-have for anyone who plays."

"I found it to be a great handy little device. It lets me plug in anywhere, and while the sound is reminiscent of 70s or 80s style metal, I have to be careful with the volume as it can get ridiculously high and sound tinny. Overall, it's a great buy and investment."

"For the price, I consider it a worthwhile investment. The build quality is impressive, and the controls work well. I was pleasantly surprised by the volume it can produce. Just make sure to replace the cheap batteries that come with it for better sound."

"As a hobbyist guitar player, I truly enjoy this little gem. I'm always chasing sound and love exploring different ways to achieve tones. This device has significantly enhanced my practice sessions. From headphones to studio monitors, it performs impressively for its size."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this LEKATO unit after returning a VOX due to poor sound. I initially expected little, but it’s great consumer-level quality for the price. My only minor issue is the small text, which is a non-issue once you get used to it."

"This little headphone amp works well as advertised. It comes with 10 pre-programmed voices, but I prefer a clean tone, and only 3 presets are clean enough for my liking. The app for modifying presets is tricky to find, and I had issues running it on my Mac."

“This has been a lifesaver for me. My husband plays guitar several times a week for the worship team and practices beforehand. I used to struggle with the loud noise while trying to relax or watch TV. Now, he can play as loudly as he wants in his ears, and I can enjoy my activities in peace.”

“I purchased this device so I could practice guitar without disturbing my wife and child with loud sounds. It works quite well, but I wish the plug was longer to place the amp behind my guitar. It’s challenging to adjust the settings with it being on the bottom.”

“I tried it on my Wilshire copy right away. The volume was good, no scratchiness, and the overdrive is decent. I appreciate the ability to plug in my MP3 player and headphones for quiet practice. Overall, it’s a nice unit.”

"I love the high quality materials used in this product!"

"It's incredibly easy to use, which is a huge plus for me."

"For the price, I was pleasantly surprised by the stylish design and overall quality."

"I'm really impressed with the FX10! Using it with my Fender HSS Strat, I achieve some high-quality tones from the amp models. My favorites include SOLO 100, Cali V, and the Acoustic Simulator. The dynamic response and five tone settings are excellent, and I've found that pairing it with Sony headphones gives me the best sound. The effects are fantastic, especially the lush reverbs and nice delays. The interface is streamlined, making it easy to control everything. The drum patterns are a blast and offer a variety of genres. Overall, this headphone amp is perfect for quiet practice and travel."

"This is a fantastic headphone amp! I usually connect it to a small speaker for practicing, and it works wonderfully with wireless adapters. Unlike my Fender, I haven’t experienced any sound cut-out issues. The sound quality is very good, although it may not be as crisp as a Fender when listened to through headphones. Still, it's an excellent option for practice sessions."

"En mi opinión, es un producto excelente. Muy recomendable para practicar sin molestar a los vecinos. Su puerto USB-C es muy práctico; lo conecto a mi celular y grabo mi guitarra sin necesidad de una interfaz. Uso la app Cubasis 3, y este ampli es compatible. Altamente recomendable para grabar maquetas o covers."

"I started playing guitar years ago and joined a high school band. I bought this expecting it to be a good practice tool, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's an incredible tool! I wish I'd had it back then along with Ultimate Guitar and Guitar Pro. The Bluetooth connection is a bit confusing—it connects to my PC and plays audio through my headphones, and I can hear my guitar with five effects settings. While I'm not recording albums, the tones are decent, and the compact size is perfect for moving around while I play. I highly recommend it for anyone on their musical journey!"

"As someone who travels frequently, this gadget has been a lifesaver. I can easily bring my guitar and plug in. The Bluetooth sync with my phone is seamless, allowing me to play along with music. The overdrive and clean sounds are quite good, though I find some effects a bit less useful. Overall, it's a great companion for practicing during my hotel stays!"

"For those who want to practice electric guitar without disturbing others, this is the best product. The mini-preamp conversion is worth the price alone, but the added effects let me experiment with sounds without needing expensive pedals. Even my friend, who has decades of experience, was excited about my find and is considering buying one too!"
