How AmperHeads earns money

AmperHeads earns money through affiliate links. If you click certain product links on this site and then make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Programs we participate in

Amazon Associates Program AmperHeads is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Our Amazon affiliate tag is amperheads-20.

That is currently our only affiliate program. If we add another retailer, it will be listed here and on our privacy policy page before any of its links appear on the site.

Direct-only brands Some of our top picks, such as Schiit and JDS Labs amplifiers, are sold mainly direct by the manufacturer. We link to those stores with plain, untagged links and earn nothing from them.

Buttons labelled “Check price on Amazon” (and similar Amazon links) are affiliate links. They carry rel="sponsored" attributes. “Buy direct” buttons to manufacturer stores are not affiliate links.

Our editorial independence

Affiliate relationships do not influence which products we recommend. Recommendations come from published specs and power math, third-party measurements, owner consensus and current availability, as described on How We Research and Rate Gear . We don’t receive free review units, we don’t accept payment for coverage or positive ratings, and we don’t adjust ratings based on commission. When the best pick for a reader earns us nothing (a direct-only Schiit amp, a used headphone), it is still the pick.

No extra cost to you

Using our affiliate links does not increase the price you pay; the retailer pays the commission from its own margin. If you’d rather not use affiliate links, search for the product directly on any retailer’s site.
