Highlights

 

New concept - headphones with built-in amPlug technology that allows you to obtain full-fledged guitar/bass sounds immediately.

Headphones made by Audio-Technica, the trusted name in headphones.

The headphone amp uses a new reactor circuit that’s based on the Valve Reactor technology featured in VOX amps, delivering incredibly dynamic amp sounds.

Totally analog design that faithfully simulates the circuit response of the original amp .

Choose from a total of four different types of classic amp sounds, including:

The "AC30" version which faithfully reproduces the classic VOX AC30.

The "Twin" version which gives you the clean sound of a classic US-made amp.

The "Lead" version which delivers a heavy British crunch lead sound.

The "Bass" version which provides a wide-range sound, including a new Bassilator circuit that realistically simulates the resonance of the speaker cabinet and floor.

A full complement of effects are is provided: chorus/delay/reverb for the guitar versions, and a compressor for the bass version.

1/4" connector allows easy connection to any guitar or bass.

When the power is off, the amPhones can be used as conventional headphones that offering the superb sound quality that you would expect from VOX.

AUX input jack lets you jam along with your CD/MP3 player.

 

The VOX amPlug Series of palm-sized headphone guitar amplifiers enables musicians to easily plug their amPlug into any guitar, and attach a pair of headphones to achieve high quality guitar sounds anywhere. Now, amPhones make it even easier for you. While the amPlug required the user to provide the headphones, the amPhones are headphones that have the amPlug technology already built in! Just plug in your instrument, and enjoy serious guitar/bass sound and superb comfort. amPhones are created using headphone technology from Audio-Technica, the name you trust for headphones. amPhones can also be used as conventional headphones when the amplifier simulator is switched off. You can connect your guitar/bass to these headphones, or use them for listening to music. amPhones are what you need, whether you're practicing by yourself in your room, or listening to your portable audio player on the way to the studio. amPhones are a must-have item for any VOX enthusiast.

 

Choose from four different versions

amPhones come in four models: the "AC30" faithfully reproduces the sound of the classic VOX AC30 amplifier, the "Twin" simulates the sound of a famous US-made clean combo amp, the "Lead" covers lead guitar sounds ranging from UK-made amps to US-made high-gain boutique amps, and the "Bass" models VOX's classic AC100 bass amp with a wide-range design to meet the needs of today’s modern electric bass players. Each uses a completely analog design in order to faithfully model the circuit response of the original amp, and will satisfy even the most critical listener.

 

Numerous high-quality effects are built-in

The amPhones series contains numerous effects that add variety to the sound. The "AC30," "Twin," and "Lead" provide reverb/chorus/delay, and "Bass" provides a compressor. Each effect is adjustable, giving you sound with superb presence that will bring out your best performances.

 

Also usable as headphones

When you disconnect your guitar/bass and power-off your amPhones, they will function as a conventional set of headphones that offer the superb sound quality that you would expect from VOX. The headphones themselves are made by Audio-Technica, the name you trust in headphones. You'll enjoy optimum sound quality and a comfortable fit that will not produce listener fatigue, even during extended listening sessions. Their folding design allows easy portability, and the extension cable and adaptor plug are also included, making these units an excellent choice for their stand-alone headphone functionality.

Perdonen que esta todo en inles, pero no me iba a poner a traducir.

A mi me encantaron, habria que ver si garpan mas que el amplug y cuanto cuestan, pero es un producto muy interesante.

[Jesus]

que buena idea en especial para viajes

[ale_purple07]

La verdad que esta barbaro, un cable menos que usando el amplug y no tenes la posibilidad de que se caiga o se salga del jack y se salga.

Habrá que ver cuanto duelen no? :mrgreen:

Se los ve muy buenos, hay que ver a que precio llegan ... si llegan ...

Hola! refloto este tema para no armar uno nuevo... alguien los tiene para que pueda dar su opinión? por que no hay mucha información de estos vox amphone.

 

Como punto fuerte el fabricante de los auriculares es audio technica (de las mejores marcas de auriculares) y el resto seria como un amplug pero con el agregado de delay y chorus...  Como negativo lo que se lee es que el cable se ve frágil ( pero nunca lei que a alguien se le rompiese) y el precio ( que de algún modo es subjetivo para lo que el producto ofrece)

 

estoy pensando comprar uno para viajes y tocar sin molestar a nadie... si alguien los tiene o quiere dar su opinión bienvenido sea!

@@chivero yo lo probé mano a mano con el amplug, la calidad es buenísima, la contra que tuvo para mi gusto es que el auricular no me era cómodo, un tanto aparatoso, me quedé con el amplug y mis auris, si mal no recuerdo creo que la autonomía era menor, pero lo probé hace bastante como para darte seguridad sobre este último dato.
