Remote controled headphone amplifiers

Remote control

— the presence of a remote control in the scope of delivery of the amplifier. Usually, this is a classic wireless remote control with IR channel — like those used for TVs. However, unlike the same TVs, such remotes are extremely rare among headphone amplifiers: after all, most often the wire from the “ears” is relatively short, and the amplifier somehow has to be placed next to the listener. Therefore, this function is found only in certain stationary models (see “Type”) of premium class, designed for headphones with a long cable length, and sometimes also for other types of loads that require a long distance from the listener (for example, an external audio system or a passive acoustics).
