The MAX9720AEUE is a Class AB stereo headphone amplifier from Analog Devices' DirectDrive® series, delivering 50 mW per channel into a 32 Ω load. That power level is sized for consumer and portable line-level outputs — enough to drive most earbuds and on-ear headphones to comfortable listening levels without the distortion floor of a lower-bias class.
It delivers 50 mW per channel into a 32 Ω load, stereo (2-channel). This is the maximum continuous output power before clipping at the rated supply voltage. For higher-impedance headphones (e.g., 300 Ω), the available output voltage swing rather than the power limit will govern the maximum SPL.
