35 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other AV receivers and amplifiers, soundbars, home theater speakers, subwoofers, surround sound systems and Blu-ray players we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Schiit Midgard is priced at $259 and carries a 4.7 rating from 35 buyers, which is a small sample by mass-market standards but an exceptionally high score that reflects Schiit Audio's consistent reputation for delivering quality components at reasonable prices.
Schiit does not publish detailed power or connectivity specifications for the Midgard in the available listing data, which is consistent with the brand's minimalist product presentation style. Buyers familiar with Schiit know to expect clean analog design, domestic manufacturing, and a product built to last rather than to check a feature-spec box.
The 35-review count means this is a newer or lower-volume model rather than a category-defining bestseller. However, Schiit's established community of enthusiast buyers tends to be both knowledgeable and critical, making a 4.7 from this audience a meaningful signal. Buyers who value brand heritage, build quality, and audio fidelity over raw feature counts will find the Midgard worth serious consideration.
Performance notes
No power output, channel configuration, or connectivity data is published for the Midgard in available listing information. No dimensions or weight are listed. Schiit Audio products are manufactured in the United States.
What buyers say
35 reviews at 4.7 stars is a small but strikingly positive signal. Schiit buyers are typically knowledgeable enthusiasts, making this rating more meaningful than the same score would be on a mass-market unit with different buyer demographics.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Schiit Midgard a headphone amp or a speaker amp?
Schiit uses the Midgard name for multiple products including headphone amplifiers. Based on available listing data, the specific configuration of this unit should be confirmed on the Schiit website or Amazon product page before purchasing to ensure it matches your intended use, whether for headphones, speakers, or both.
Why should I trust a product with only 35 reviews?
A small review count is a valid concern for risk-averse buyers. In Schiit's case, the brand has a well-documented track record across many products with much larger review bases. Buyers new to Schiit can look at the broader brand reputation alongside the Midgard's specific rating. That context makes the 4.7 score more meaningful than it would be for an unknown brand. Still, if review volume matters to your decision, waiting for the pool to grow is a reasonable approach. Questions are welcome at hello@hometheaterbuilder.com.
