This one I've made for my father in law (who has poor hearing and uses headphones to watch news on TV). It can be used with his IPad as well.
I wanted to keep it as small as possible. My first thought was a CMoy but then I realised that the world has moved on.
This is MAX4410 from Ali. It is not half bad in fact.

Yup! Great PCBs. Thanks for sharing! I ended up though adding a 1nF capacitor between base and collector of Q3 (soldered to the leads of R3 and R5) to tame oscillations - in fact the same happens in my other ZEN headamp which uses PCBs as published by Pellerano.
