Reviews around advertise (4.70 of 5)

  • Awesome gadget to keep handy- works as advertised, and easy enough to use
  • However, i would say that overall this headphone amp is a great value and works as advertised.
  • Great little piece of technology that works as advertised.
  • It works as advertised without adding any color to the sound of the original source (great when mixing down a track)
  • In addition to the ever-present problem of overwhelming feedback, I've experienced L/R channel dropout by simply touching a knob.

Reviews around price (4.57 of 5)

  • The sound quality is surprisingly solid despite the affordable price.
  • It does the job nicely at a reasonable price in a live sound environment
  • Though this is off label use they perform much better at a cheaper price then the limited choice of gear you can find that's intended for this purpose
  • Other than that I would definitely recommend the HA400 because of the sound quality, sturdy construction and price.
  • Buy it for the value...excellent price; but love it for the quality and portability.

Reviews around mixer (4.26 of 5)

  • Great little mixer but the output is MONO like other reviewers have mentioned.
  • Wish I had something with 4 independent mute buttons, but I would have to go to a pretty expensive mixer to have 4 independent outputs.
  • This little mixer works perfectly, when combined with 1/8"-to-1/4" cables.
  • This little mixer works great and has been for 2 months now
  • For gigs however, I use a big amp with direct inputs, this mixer could cause some problems

Reviews around work (4.12 of 5)

  • Yeah now we cant complain that we cant hear each other works great
  • I like this small amp for my desktop, hooked to mac mini, works great with multiple headphone sets hooked up.
  • Picked this up at Guitar Center for about $24 - works great
  • To save you looking it up, the nominal input impedance is 4.7K, the output impedance 80 ohms
  • I plug my guitar into the input, and have the headphones in slot 3 (any available slot works great).

Reviews around solution (3.94 of 5)

  • I think this unit is a great solution for low volume requirement headphones
  • Really the only cheap solution as it seems the cheapest amps on anyone's radar start at $60.
  • I would imagine the best solution for me will be to run the mixer through my amp and use my amps headphone
  • All works just fine -- a nice inexpensive solution, just what we wanted.
  • That being said, this is a cheap, adequate solution for people who are hard of hearing.

Reviews around unit (3.87 of 5)

  • *that*.I am here to report that the negative reviews were either made on the basis of defective units or were made by people who cannot objectively judge the quality of a signal when it comes through a cheap box with "Behringer" printed on the front
  • For the price and size, this unit works amazingly well for a simple mixer
  • If yours is mono, you either got the wrong cable or got a defective unit
  • Possible it was a defective unit, but didn't want to take a chance on another
  • This is a good, solid unit that doesn't use much space at all!

Reviews around amp (3.83 of 5)

  • I have been looking for a decent headphone amp for several years.
  • I'm building a project studio at home and made the decision because I needed a cheap headphone amp quickly
  • this was a great headphone amp but started not working after six months
  • This is a great little headphone amp that does exactly what it says it does
  • Just needed a cheap single channel amp to amplify a signal out of a mixer, and this does the job.

Reviews around quality (3.76 of 5)

  • The sound quality is great and the volume adjustment is sensitive
  • Sound quality was diminished, quality is poor and the power is weak
  • and then the volume of the Behringer up 1/2 to get the same volume output - with poorer sound quality.
  • It just creates another connection which can degrade audio quality.
  • Sound quality is good, it's crystal clear, no added noise

Reviews around sound (3.74 of 5)

  • Does exactly what it says it will, and outputs a clean sound at a good level
  • I jerry-rigged a Lepai speaker amp and, while it got me through a few gigs, the sound was too distorted at high levels and the Lepai amp would cut off at high output.
  • The outlet plug makes a loud high pitched sound when it's plugged in
  • The build quality is very good and the sound and gain are great.
  • At high levels, it can muddy the sound of incoming signals, so aware of its limits by experimenting.

Reviews around thing (3.72 of 5)

  • It is the worst thing I ever purchase in my entire life
  • This thing is fantastic and does exactly what it's intended to do
  • I just wanted a simple headphone amp, and this thing is garbage
  • If you're not a mixing professional audio this thing works just great in my experience
  • this thing is awesome, used heavily for 2 years now works and sounds awesome!

Reviews around headphone (3.48 of 5)

  • This is a great little headphone amp that does exactly what it says it does
  • But for a cheap basic headphone amp, it does the job and the acoustics of the output are well balanced.
  • I just needed a cheap 4 channel headphone amp for recording purposes
  • Now I have a 4-Channel headphone amp where only half the channels work
  • This allows us to hook headphone up to any device even if it doesn't support headphones or have the juice to drive three or four sets of headphones.

Reviews around star (2.33 of 5)

  • It is essential, when comparing different headphones or speakers of any sort, to ensure the volume coming out of the different units is exactly the same, because our ears/brain otherwise will hear the sounds differently and will prefer one sound over the other as much for the volume as for the sound quality.
  • Please remember 1 star only because it didn't work for my special situation
  • This works for what we needed for, but there were two minor disappointments with this (still rating 4 stars because of high quality product):1
  • In addition to the ever-present problem of overwhelming feedback, I've experienced L/R channel dropout by simply touching a knob.
  • A lot of reviews are knocking stars off the review of this product because it wasn't what they thought it was, which is not the problem of the product.

Reviews around noise (1.95 of 5)

  • Might try disassembling later to see if I can fix the static noise.
  • Small package...good results...no noise distortion and no hiss or humming
  • All the channels work perfectly, there is no noticeable noise, etc and it is solidly built
  • This amp is very low noise and very low distortion but strong enough to drive any headphone and finnaly appriciate the 6N3 tubes' beauty
  • No muffling, no extraneous noise, no meaningful signal degradation

Reviews around input (1.61 of 5)

  • It really is insane, one version mixes down 4 mono signal inputs into 1 mono signal output (creation side) and the other version, I assume because it isn't what I bought, splits 1 stereo signal input into 4 stereo outputs (listening side)
  • I needed a way to boost the input of a wired lapel microphone coming from the preacher directly into my powered speakers.
  • The only improvement I would make is possible having the I/O panel top mounted to allow full access to this unit from one direction (such as for rack mounting it).
  • The inputs bleed into one another and if you turn the line levels, for any channel, past 50-60% it really really really distorts the input signal.
  • I gave 4 star for this mixer because the first one i ordered was a defective piece, input 2 was going crazy with a buzz

Reviews around pop (1.44 of 5)

  • Any movement caused the power to blink and a subsequent loud noise/pop in the speaker.
  • Puts out a loud popping sound on L ch when you plug headset in, even when unit is not plugged in, so I give it a 4
  • remember to turn your amp/speakers on last and off first or you hear a nasty pop as the unit goes on.
  • And to top it off I get bad popping when computer starts to play audio.

Reviews around buzz (1.33 of 5)

  • For the price, I'm happy with it and get no extraneous buzz even though it's on a large desk with a laptop, HD monitor, 2 external hard drives, and an xbox360.
  • Clean sound no buzzing or interference
  • If the surface it sits on gets hit or slightly moves, you get loud buzzing and have to readjust connections
  • Once everything was done I was getting a terrible staticy hum/buzz in the headphones
  • The HA400 will pick up interference as a pretty loud buzz from the power charger on my laptop, but other than that one source of interference it puts out a clean signal
