Swissonic Headamp 8 4-stars Reviews

Output 8 & 7 have noticeable ground noise

The unit I received had noticeable ground noise from output 8 & 7. I ended up going for another unit so can't confirm if this is a reoccurring issue or not. Otherwise feels very solid and well built

it is ok for this amount

As for the construction, I have nothing to complain about, it looks very good and has a nice appearance, some barrels don't work that well, you have to press harder, but the sound is not extraordinary, I didn't have high expectations for this amount, I use it more for registered. So if you need something that just does its job and without big investments, this is what you need

Normall device for its description and price

Works good, normal sound, average amplification. Not so good assembly, knobs turns hardly, cling to the body, easily detach.

But overall not bad also. Very hardmade shell.

About sound. IMHO ART HeadAmp4 (and 6) sounds better, less noises, more amplification. But for monitoring - fully enought.

For its money - ok

Lots of headroom!

Firts things first:

this thing have tons of power to drive even the biggests headphone you have!

Usually we never use it above 1/4 the knob.

The led meters are very useful and bright.

The backlight in all butons make it very easy to operate in a dark room.

Didn't use the "main in" so far so i have nothing to say about it.

It could be useful to someone but is an headphone amplifier, it should make individual mixes, so.....

Regarding construction, its really solid. The knobs for example, they dont have a cheap feel. A solid and stable rotation.

Did i mentioned already the buttons backlight? :)

Overall im really happy with this piece of equipment. I think i made a good choice.
