It does the job

This stereo headphone amplifier works fine if you need extra outputs for more musicians, but don't expect extra volume just because you've got an extra headphone amp, I bought this headphone amp just in case I needed more headphones out in some situations that could arise. I bought it more as a splitter and not an amplifier. In this case it does the job well.

It does what you need it to

Pretty simple but very useful product. Hard to go wrong with it really. Build quality is good and sturdy. It does what it says on the tin lol, splits a headphone sends 4 ways.

Good quality - does exactly as it says

Its a mini stereo headphone amp.

It does exactly as it says, and works well

The only extra feature i'd like to see is if it had a mono input, to send that to both ears on a stereo.

Simple small headphone amp

I bought this so that I could provide extra headphone monitors while recording at home. Its a nice piece of equipment. You can take one stereo mix out of your recording interface/mixer and send that mix to four separate headphones.

Not a huge amount of features, each headphone channel has its own volume knob. You cant have seperate mixes for different headphones.

The unit is built well. It has a metal enclosure. The control knobs feel fine, nothing special but should last if it is taken care of.

Well worth buying if you want one output sent to four headphones.

Pretty good unit for the money

Does a pretty good job.

A little lightweight in construction but nonetheless perfectly adequate for my needs.

Well manufactured, good to share the sound with the rest of the band.

Built well, distorts if pushed

Another product that does everything it should from Behringer. It works really good but after around 85% of the way it starts to distort audibly. Doesn't disturb that much, but I wouldn't mix with my headphone plugged in to this. Perfect for sending a headphone mix while recording

Good enough for the price

Don't expect too much from this headphone amplifier, if you need a low-budget signal splitter it will do just fine. If you're looking for quality sound, look for a higher-price range headphone amp.

I use this with the behringer 4 channel line mix as part of my in-ear settings, it is noisy past the 2 p.m. mark, but useful nonetheless.

Good basic headphone amplifier

I bought this as I needed one of these quickly and to be fair to it, it's worked perfectly on a number of recording sessions perfectly and without any issues.

Its very well made and sturdy, offers a fair degree of flexibility, and allowed us all to monitor without problems. Pretty noiseless and there was no distortion heard during use either. My only gripe would be that there wasn't a great deal of gain on tap and we were all near the end of the volume range before we were all happy with our levels. That's not to detract from the level of performance this offers in a budget price range, but don't expect too much.

Great budget piece of equipment that works perfectly well and is made to last.

Quite Good

The transit time was almost 3 weeks but the product is pretty good according to the price.

It works clearly as it's main equivalents.

Noting special but is well built, does what it's meant to do and it's really cheap.

Great bang for buck!

If you're looking for a cheap alternative to a PA for band practice, definitely buy these. They aren't the best headphone amps out there, by a long shot, but they work.

One thing that bugs me about it is the lack of an On/Off button but aside from that it just works super well, with relatively high output and sound quality. Also, I'm pretty sure these are the cheapest in the market with means that they're real good for the price.

Great Construction. Produces a little noise on high volumes, expected for the price.

Nice headphone amplifier

This headphone amplifier has worked very well for me in my home studio. The audio signal doesn't seem to degrade and/or no warmth or brightness is added, so the sound you get is the same as if you'd plug directly your headphones into your interface. I got the dark gray/black version and actually I like it more than the light/white version. The device seems to be of a strong build, at least it looks that it won't break with regular use. The only con I could find, at this price range, is that it lacks an on/off button. Highly recommended.

Good headphone amp considered its price range

I had a very specific application for the HA400, and despite the price it serves this purpose very well. My use case was to route my TV to multiple headphones and to a Super T-amp. The main connection is from the headphone out of the TV to the input of the HA400, then each channel of the HA400 goes into a dedicated headphone or the T-Amp. I have headphones with multiple impedance so a simple split cable would not do. The sound quality is quite good, all considered. The HA400 is very quiet until about 85% where a noticeable hiss is introduced in the channel. I A/B compared with few CDs and while there is some sound coloration, I could not feel any meaningful difference between directly playing from a CD player into the T-Amp or going through the TV with the HA400, but of course the whole setup is not for audiophile listening. I don't think this little preamp can really be used for proper headphone mixing, although I don't see a problem in using it for tracking with multiple musicians. This is definitely a well made little box, it does what it says, and is cheap!

It is OK

Good signal slitter. Very straight forward, very easy to use. The sound going through the device almost does not change. But remember that you can not use the device to split signal which was sent through "Aux" (for monitor) from the mixer because it is a mono signal and on the exit from the device only left side of your headphones will work. So use only a stereo signal because the device will not transform mono to stereo.

OK, but

Overall sound is ok. This piece is very effective, it has been used a lot in my studio without any problem.

Does the job

I'm using it in studio while doing live recordings. We use different headphones so it's useful to adjust volume for each channel individually. The sound quality is good enough for listening while recording. But not good enough for listening music, mixing or mastering stuff. Small and usefull in recording studio. Worth for the price.

Multiple live headsets

I chose this head phone amplifier as my band need to have a backing track and click in their ears at certain points during songs. This device allowed me to power multiple head phones each with their own volume. I found that this worked perfectly with most ear phones but certain high end headphones only recieved one ear when connected to the device. However this device seems extremely durable and is a perfect way to power your bands ear phones. Works perfect in conjunction with all mixers connected to their headphone connection. This is an inexpensive alternative to expencive in ear monitoring and suitable for many music related activities
