The Amp:bit is the easiest way to connect a speaker or headphones to your BBC micro:bit. It plugs directly onto the edge connector and provides a 3.5mm headphone jack, solder pads for a speaker, and a volume control wheel — everything you need to add audio to your micro:bit projects.

If you have a speaker connected to the solder pads, it will automatically mute when headphones are plugged into the jack. The built-in volume wheel lets you adjust the output level at any time without changing your code.
