GADGET OF THE WEEK
Better sound from your smartphone
When V-Moda introduced its Vamp headphone amplifier last year, it won over critics and fans by offering richer, more lustrous sound.
But the Vamp worked only with the iPhone 4 and 4S, which limited its usefulness. Aiming for greater versatility, V-Moda created the Vamp Verza, for iOS as well as Android devices.
In a nutshell, the Vamp bypasses a device’s digital-to-audio converter and runs music through its own high-fidelity processor. The result is noticeably better sound with clear vocals and firmer bass. The amp also has a lithium-ion battery that can provide power to your smartphone.
The original Vamp cradled an iPhone in a case with a dock, making it a single unit. The updated Vamp Verza has no case, just a strong rubber band and some micro-USB cables to connect the amplifier to any device, even a Mac or PC.
