What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The performance with the stock tubes is fantastic for the price. Compact and easy to use. What i enjoy most about this item is that out of all the names in the world that the manufacturer could have chosen, they went with nobsound.
What a little gem of an amp. Wholeheartedly recommended. Fab little amp.
Cons
Nobsound amp is grainy and harsh sounding. Has a constant buzzing sound and can't get it to work on both speakers. Comes with a doa warning, so don't use it.

However there seems to be some electronic interference of some kind every so often you know that noise it makes on the phone sometimes sort of like a high pitched sound but only lasts a few seconds at most also there is is sort of muffled small nosies at all times if no sound is playing which is barely noticable but it is there

No but rating these type of things is all quite subjective and involves a lot of confirmation bias

I used this with my sony nwzx300 and whilst the sound was good with my sony mdr1a it was just no way near as good as using headphones directly connected to the walkman
