USB HEADPHONE SOCKET

The sound quality from the laptop I own is nothing short of appalling, the amount of noise and electrical gremlins you can hear if you plug in a half-decent pair of in-ear ‘phones distracts from any musical quality that may be present in the recording. It is probably because all laptop components have to be packed into such a small space and sound quality is at the bottom of the specification sheet for selling a business laptop!

I decided to build my own 'audiophile' quality headphone socket so I could enjoy music and movies again! I have now decided to make these units available to everyone as I am sure other are in my situation with the request for quality music on the move from a laptop. I now even us the unit on my desktop PC!
