Pro-Ject Launches Head Box Series for Audiophiles
Audiophiles who love Pro-Ject turntables now have a new reason to upgrade their listening setup. Pro-Ject has unveiled two new headphone amplifiers, the Head Box DS3 B and Head Box S3 B, designed to bring fully balanced audio to headphones. These amps promise cleaner sound, better stereo separation, and reduced noise, whether you’re using high-end or standard headphones. The models cater to different power needs, making it easier for enthusiasts to find the right fit for their gear.
Fully Balanced Audio from Start to Finish
What sets these new amps apart is their fully balanced design. Unlike traditional balanced outputs that only affect the headphone connection, Pro-Ject ensures the entire audio path is balanced. This approach minimizes interference and enhances channel separation, resulting in a more spacious, detailed, and immersive listening experience. Music lovers who care about sonic fidelity will notice the difference immediately, especially on complex recordings.
Power Options for Every Headphone Type
The Head Box S3 B delivers 820mW into 30 ohms, while the more powerful Head Box DS3 B pumps out 1.5W, handling even demanding, high-impedance headphones. Both models can drive unbalanced headphones as well, offering versatility for mixed setups. Whether you own sensitive in-ear monitors or full-size over-ear headphones, Pro-Ject provides the right power without compromising audio quality.
Seamless Connectivity with RCA and XLR
Pro-Ject designed these amps for easy integration into existing setups. Both amps feature line-level inputs with RCA and XLR connectors, allowing connections to turntables, DACs, or audio interfaces without hassle. This flexibility ensures that users can elevate their headphone audio without overhauling their entire system.
Premium Build Meets Audiophile Standards
The Head Box amps combine sleek design with high-end performance. Encased in elegant silver or black finishes, the units are built to last while complementing modern audio setups. Inside, Pro-Ject’s attention to detail ensures minimal distortion and maximum clarity, providing a listening experience that rival high-end standalone amplifiers.
Pricing and Availability
The Head Box S3 B is priced at £329 (around $442 / AU$660), while the DS3 B comes in at £629 (around $845 / AU$1,265). Both models are available now through Pro-Ject’s official channels and select audio retailers worldwide. Early adopters can expect the full benefit of balanced audio and powerful headphone amplification from day one.
Why This Matters for Audiophiles
For headphone enthusiasts, these new Pro-Ject amps are more than just accessories—they’re an upgrade to the entire listening experience. Fully balanced circuitry, strong power output, and versatile connectivity make them ideal for anyone looking to get the most out of high-fidelity headphones. Whether you’re enjoying vinyl, digital files, or studio-grade recordings, the Head Box series ensures every note shines.
