Personal audio means different things to different people. For some, it means a great sounding small stereo for the bedroom; for others, it’s headphones they can use in the dorm room; or just a better-sounding way to listen to their laptop while on the road. We offer a variety of personal audio products to enhance every personal audio experience. If you listen to a lot of music from your computer, but the only audio output it has is the built-in sound card, you might want to consider adding one of our high quality DACs (digital-to-analog converter) like the Big Ego. If you want great sounding audio for a small room - like an office, bedroom, or dorm room - consider one of our personal audio bundles for small to medium rooms. Whatever your personal audio needs, we’ve got you covered… with great sound.

High Resolution Audio On Your Desktop
Not everyone has a custom home theater or dedicated listening room. For many of us, music listening is a more personal experience that we enjoy while working at our computer, or in a dorm room, or our bedroom. However, even if you’re just going to be listening to your favorite music on your computer, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a truly transcendent listening experience. In fact, there are plenty of great sounding solutions for listening to music close up and personal. Just as with a big stereo or home theater system, the key to maximizing your enjoyment is to choose the right equipment.
If you’re going to use a computer as your music source, you’re going to want a DAC; the sound cards in most computers don’t sound very good, and upgrading your sound card is often one of the best improvements you can make. Next, you’re going to need a pair of compact speakers, and an amplifier to power them. There are some great little computer speakers out there that have the DAC and amplifiers built in. However, here at Emotiva, we think you’re better off going with separate components. Our Airmotiv B1 speakers are small enough to fit on a shelf, or even a large desk, but deliver really big sound. Our TA-100 includes a precision DAC, its own preamp and power amp, and even an FM tuner. Or, if you already have a DAC, our A-100 amplifier is great for powering speakers, and also includes an innovative headphone output that delivers the same great sound as the headphone outputs on highly revered vintage equipment. Whichever way you choose to go, we’ve got you covered.
Small Space, Big Sound Personal Audio Bundle
If you want to enjoy your music, but the rest of your family has other ideas, or your dorm mates prefer to study, you should consider headphones. Headphones provide a truly personal listening experience – and allow you to listen to whatever you want, whenever you want, without disturbing the rest of your family or your dorm-mates.
Headphones come in several basic varieties. Closed back headphones provide near perfect privacy, while open backed models allow you to remain connected to the world around you, and you can choose between on-ear headphones, and headphones that cover your entire ear like a cup. All of them can sound great, so it’s really just a matter of personal preference. If you’ve never owned headphones before, it’s a good idea to try several different models; listen to each for several minutes, and make sure it not only sounds good, but stays comfortable after you wear it for a while.
The headphone amplifiers in computers are usually worth avoiding. However, a lot of audio gear offers a good quality headphone output, and there are plenty of really high quality separate headphone amps available. If you plan to use both speakers and headphones, or just want really superb sound and lots of power for your headphones, we recommend our A-100 amp, which includes both high quality speaker outputs and a truly innovative and great sounding headphone output.
