Is it NECESSARY to amplify or is there enough sound to practice/play without the amplifier?

You can practice with it, but very little sound. It's not necessary, but it's really made to be played through an amp. It would be the same if you didn't plug in an electric bass guitar. Thanks Sam.

You can practice without an amplifier because it has a headphone output that is plenty loud enough.

It is plenty loud enough to play without an amp over headphones or without... We have them in stock.

Hi Anne, You do need a amp., I use a little Peavey Solo and it works just fine. Hope this helps, Mike

Yes, you do need some sort of device to air and amplify the sound from the microphone. Most amplifiers should be able to handle the volts coming from this microphone, however, if you have a few microphones and you link it up to one amp, it may not be sufficient.

I would say no, these babies have an increased capacity for sound but don't need the amplification. They can run well off an amplified source like turntables or a midi device, but are more than fine without. Best headphones i have ever purchased.

That depends. It will probably be loud enough without an amp. But would you spend this much money for headphones unless sound quality was important to you? Uncompressed audio (or at least CDs) instead of MP3 and a fairly good to very good amp will improve the sound. Fiio, Schiit (yes that really is the name and it's made in the USA), Yulong, Matrix, Denon, Oppo, SMSL and other companies make amps in the $55 to $400 range. A DAC (built-in to the amp or separate) might also improve the sound.

No amp required, but I use it with a small portable headphone DAC/Amp when I connect tony laptop and they sound amazing. I also use with no amp attached to iPhone and the sound is fuller than my Shure IEMs

There are numerous, very good small amps Out There: from Pig Nose to - the one I own - a Schiffler. A speaker will not be a good choice - choose amplification,.

I've used the amp maybe a dozen times since I got the headphones a year ago. It enhances the experience, but the headphones are already so good that I almost never use the amps. I would say the amp definintely isn't necessary.

Yes. You can play it without an amp, but it will be very quiet and not have the typical electric guitar sound. My husband plays his electric guitars acoustically often because it's quieter. You will probably want picks, a strap, a 1/4 inch to 1/4 inch cable, and possibly a case. We got soft cases for our kids' guitars. If you have an iPad, you can get the Garageband app and an adapter and plug into your iPad and play/record. Garageband is pretty neat as it has different amp and pedal options for different sounds.

Amp not required, it has built-in speakers. This was purchased for our grandson who is in his 5th year of piano lessons. We gave him an older boom box that has incredible sound and stereo inputs. He uses that when he wants to be really loud!

Personally I am using the cans without amps, and the performance is excellent. In my opinion you don't need one. I don't believe v-moda recommends any particular amp.

I've done it, gives the guitar a lot more low end and lower midrange than you would get from a guitar amp. Absolutely terrible for a band situation as the guitar won't cut through the mix but kind of an interesting sound if just practicing alone. I actually think it sounds kind of cool for low volume bedroom practicing.

Yes, can be used with or without an amp and sound great both ways. However the true potential is brought out with an amp IMO

No, the price des not include an amplifier, that is a separate purchase.There are many good amps. Just make sure it is compatible with the speaker system

Yes, you need an amp. I bought this for my grandson when he was about four. I bought an inexpensive amp at Guitar Center. It cost about 20 dollars and looked like a mini juke box. It worked well and still works. The microphone has held up, too. My grandson just turned 9. He and his young friends enjoyed the mike and amp very much and improvised pretend music with books such as a Richard Scary.

I have not hooked it into my TV as I have another set hooked into the TV but you should not need any other pieces or products to amplify sound. These speakers do a pretty good job of that already. So no, you won't need a preamplifier.

You'll need at least another cable 1/4 (same size that you are already using for the guitar) and if you want to use it, there is an output to headphone too that you could use with no amp....
