Two connection options
Astell&Kern AK HB1 ear amplifier is very convenient to connect. In addition to Bluetooth pairing, it can also be connected directly via USB-C, making AK HB1 suitable for not only smartphones, but also game consoles, phones or other smart devices. It is worth mentioning that it comes with USB-C and Lightning cables. The cables are carefully designed and adopt a heavy-shielding structure, which can greatly reduce interference and bring better sound. But let me remind you, if you choose to connect via Bluetooth, due to the limitation of the standard transmission speed, the sound quality after Bluetooth connection will be slightly inferior to USB-C.

Bluetooth
High quality sound performance
Astell&Kern AK HB1 is equipped with Qualcomm CSR8675 Bluetooth chip, which supports AAC, SBC, LDAC (24 bit/96 kHz), aptX HD (24bit/48kHz), etc. If you use a USB-C connection, it also supports Native DSD256, 32 bit/384 kHz and native hardware processing of MQA audio, ensuring that users can enjoy high-definition music. Moreover, AK HB1 is equipped with the ESS ES9281AC PRO decoding chip, and has the option of using 3.5mm and 4.4mm headphones (4 Vrms output), and the sound performance is excellent.
You can quickly adjust the volume, which is very convenient.
Practical test
AK HB1 is connected to Sony Xperia 1 V via USB-C, and then listened with Impluse Ti headphones and Tidal App.
Comment:AK HB1 has achieved a certain improvement in sound quality, and when it comes to processing popular music, regardless of male vocals, female vocals, or instrumental sounds, it has a clear performance. It is overall comfortable to listen to, and it is actually quite good for its price. Moreover, the AK HB1 ear amplifier can be used with different devices. I believe that when used with game consoles, computers, etc., it will comprehensively enhance the user’s entertainment experience.
Extra features
For users who pursue sound quality, most of them will not choose headphones with microphones. Therefore, when using ear amplifiers, it is difficult to make calls, or the ear amplifiers need to be removed, which is quite inconvenient. In order to solve the problem, AK HB1 specially added a radio microphone, allowing users to make calls through ear amplifiers, bringing a new experience. In addition, AK HB1 also has a smart switching function. USB-C and Bluetooth connection devices can be used at the same time. In addition, Bluetooth connection can also be connected to multiple devices, making it highly practical.
