SchiitFulla E Headphone DAC/Amp with Mic Input for Gaming and Communications

Fixed all my audio issues. I bought fancy headphones but could not get the volume high enough. This was perfect, and the sound quality improved.

Audio quality wise keeps up with my $280 full set up (Schiit Modi 3+ and Schiit Vali 2+). The quality is deep, rich, wide and crystal clear! Power wise, it can’t push my Sennheisers 6XXHD as hard but my IEMs all day. Doesn’t do RCA for speakers, and can’t push as hard so the price is justified.Sounds amazing, has a mic input which my $280 setup doesn’t have. All and all for me using this at work it’s gonna be amazing.

The Fulla is a great way to get the "discrete sound card" experience without cramming something into the noisy interior of your PC case. iIhave four of these, and use them to mix four PC's audio streams into one mixer.

The Fulla E replaced the (problematic) Fulla 4 which replaced the Fulla 3. I have a Fulla 3 and while it was okay, it seemed to have a slightly narrower soundstage than nicer DAC/amps, a bit less clarity and detail on the treble side of things, and a bit of a compressed sound in some cases. The Fulla E fixes all of that and sounds every bit as good as nicer devices. It also works with Switch and PS4/PS5 now, which is neat, and has an optical input for other consoles and devices that support that. There isn't much else to say about the sound quality except that it is great, doesn't seem to color the sound in any particular way, and has no real negatives.The mic input is... fine, I guess. It seems to be the same as what was on the Fulla 3, which is to say that it isn't the greatest but neither is it particularly bad. The biggest problem there is that they still insist on putting this awful, overly-aggressive limiter on it instead of just trusting users with a gain control. If you really want a good-sounding mic input for your headset, get something else. If you just want people to be able to hear you on calls, this will do that.I wish they had stuck with a 3.5 mm output for the headphones, but they do at least include an adapter, so it's not the end of the world. And I guess I'd rather have to adapt to 1/4" instead of adapting down to 3.5 mm, so it's fine. They were never going to please everyone regardless of the size they went with, so whatever.And finally, even though the power output is technically less than the Fulla 3, it's still way more than anyone really has need for. With my HD560s, I can set Windows volume to 50% and I still wouldn't turn the volume knob on the device above half. If I had some really inefficient headphones, I could see the extra power being useful, but this is a device aimed at gamers who will mostly have efficient, low impedance headphones and IEMs, so this amount of power is mostly just annoying. I can't go above like 8 o'clock with my IE 300 IEMs (and that's with Windows at 50%), so there's still very little in the way of actual usable volume range there. Schiit has always had a thing for more power and it's a bit frustrating when this could have half as much and still be more than enough. The good news is that it's a 32-bit device, so lowering the Windows volume shouldn't noticeably reduce dynamic range, so at least there are options.All in all, for the price, it's probably the best way to get a nice DAC and amp all in one package. Couple that with support for Switch, PlayStation, and anything with an optical output and it's truly a great bargain.

Wasn't detected for days by my pc after I got it had to replug the cable 50 times, and 3 years later it fully died.

Very good with beyerdynamic 1990

Was trying to find a reasonably priced USB powered amp for my headphones; currently using Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pros (250 ohms). Originally used the Focusrite scarlett solo for a while, worked very well and produced clean sound. However, they were not rated for 250 ohm headphones. I had to turn the dial all the way up and sound was usually not loud enough for some applications; even when turning windows to max volume. The Schiit Fulla E easily uses USB-C to my computer and produces clean sound. Additionally, it produces a great amount of sound that I was originally looking for. Both pair very nicely. Amazing sound and build quality for the price.

Performance on higher quality headphones is less impressive, which should be expected here. Pretty decent value for a budget setup. Dont have a range of mics to test, so hard to say if that aspect is just a bonus of good quality or an actual upgrade.
