i love this

its so cute and it lets me not annoy the neighbors at 3 in the morning anymore

Great exercise device, but nothing more than that

This device is obviously built as an exercise equipment, so you have to keep that in mind at all times. Drum beats themselves is a proof of that. No gigable amplifier comes with that feature. And it is a very good touch. Foldable plug is a very good idea and makes it much handier.

Built quality is on the cheaper side and there is a noise but nothing I can't live with as far as I'm concerned.

Nothing spectacular and I wasn't expecting something spectacular anyways. I bought it as an exercise equipment and it gets the job done for me.

Great practise tool

First the good: It has a decent bass sound for armchair (or anywhere else) practise. It also doesn't distort anywhere near as badly as other cheaper "bass" headphone amps. The 9 different drum rhythms, each with adustable tempo and volume are really useful to get your timing tight. The jack plug can be rotated to fit your own bass more comfortably. Battery life is reasonable - I reckon you get about 4 hours out of it. And finally - a dumb one, I know - it looks really cute with the VOX amp styling. The bad: Contruction feels lightweight and flimsy - some reviewers online complained that the jack was easy to snap off (so I have just been careful). Battery life is OK, but why couldn't VOX just make the unit rechargeable like other headphone amps, e.g Valeton? Replacing batteries is an inconvenient, expensive and environmentally unsound practise. That said, I use it all the time and would recommend it - to the extent that I bought a second one for my son in South Africa.

Below-average sound, but very useful little gear

The Amplug doesn't sound nice per sé, but I strongly believe it's not its job to do so. The strength of the Amplug is in its portability and the ability to connect an audio source while practicing with it. I think overall it's a great investment for anyone who wants to practice on headphones without the feeling of hooked up with a cable to an amp (and/or at late night).
