Amazing little headphone amp for the price
I purchased both the Metal and the Classic Rock version of the HB Rockplug, and they compliment each other very well.
This metal version has a good variety of tones. With the gain knob, you can range from crunchy overdrive/fuzz all the way through filthy metal shredding distortion. There are virtually no cleans, but that's not why you buy this! The tone knob does a good job coloring the sound, and the volume keeps you from blowing your ears off.
The aux input makes it easy to connect to your phone/laptop in case you want to play along with a track in the same set of headphones (be aware though, the 1/8" male-to-male cable they provide is laughably short and not usable). The Rockplug comes with a USB cable for charging, which is much easier than always replacing batteries in some other brands' models.
The casing itself is plastic and not super sturdy. The on-off switch on mine is a bit funky and doesn't quite click into place, but for £11 I don't expect it to be perfect.
Absolutely worth the price! Great stuff HB!

Fantastic Plugin Amp
This Amp is ideal for portability.
A long battery life. Great Heavy Gain Tone.
Very Versatile as this plug can connect input to Mp3 and also to other ext. amp/ speaker, if you not want to use headphones.
Well done HB a Fantastc Plugin Amp

Solid sound but not particularly robust
This is a great starting point for amplugs - it has a good high-gain sound, and the USB charging makes it practical.
Unfortunately the USB charging port has become dislodged on mine and I've not gotten it open to fix it. I mainly used it on a desk plugged into a pedal for recording, so it wasn't from particular manhandling or anything either.
As I say, if your expectations are set according to price and don't expect it to last forever, it's a good starting point for trying out a high-gain amp sound before investing in something more solid (and more expensive).

Good for practice
it's a good tool to practice power chords and heavy riffs.
Overall it's a good practice tool, power swich is a bit stiff, keep an eye open that you turn it really off.
use a good headphone to improve results

Great deal for 15 EUR. The cheapest amplug on the market.
Don't expect a studio sound, it's just a little headphone amplug but it does the job. It evokes a sound of old Zoom G2 and it's ideal for practicing to headphones if you are metalhead. If you turn the tone and distortion to the max, you'll get a decent metal sound. The only thing that annoys me is the old-school-looking power button which is hard to turn on/off.
