It does the Job!!! But there is a Slight hiss and a constant noise floor with it.

GREAT COMPACT PIECE OF KIT, MODEL BEING DISCONTINUED NOW I BELIEVE. 8 HEADPHONE OUTS SHOULD YOU NEED THEM. FOR THE PRICE COMPARED TO SIMILAR RACK MOUNTED HEADPHONE AMPS THIS IS A QUALITY ITEM.

I did a lot of research before buying this product.I used this for live sound on stage in our earlier days and when we are touring to smaller venues. We obviously prefer the avioms but they are very expensive and not nearly as portable as this system. We have the sound tech mix our monitors and we can set out volume on stage.I haven't had any noise issues, etc and I doubt that I will have any issues for years to come based off of the quality of the build and friends who have similar products by Behringer.

Arrived ahead of schedule. Plugged it in and it works exactly as expected! Each channel is clear and it's convenient to have an input selector on each output as well.

I wouldn't use this for a recording pre-amp, but for a headphone amp for multi-tracking or delivering separate mixes to several individual players concurrently, this is excellent. If you crank the levels, you'll hear some self-noise. Keep the input volume high so you can keep the output in the mid-range or lower, and you won't hear any noise. (unless of course, something's not working right) This is another winner by Behringer, whose stuff has begun to make a presence in my studio. I can reach out and touch 4 Behringer devices from where I sit at this moment, meaning that I've overcome my reluctance to buy what once was the pariah of pro studios. Apparently Behringer took a good long look at themselves, decided not to be the low-end of the business anymore, and started outputting quality devices. I haven't gotten the courage to put their $150 hardware processors directly in the signal chain for mixing, but for MIDI input, monitoring, and even patch bays (which ARE in the signal chain), I've changed my opinion of Behringer. If I were just starting out, I'd even try one of those $150 hardware compressors and see what I could get out of it. I mean, compare the pro-alternative in price. We're talking about a factor of 10.Don't complain about Behringer. Even if you get a bad one (and I have NOT), you're still 9X ahead in price, and can try another and still be way under budget. But let me reiterate: I've had no quality problems with Behringer's newer products. It seems that just those from the 1990s or early 2000s had that reputation.Giving it 5 stars doesn't mean I put it on the level of the highest pro-gear. It means that I recognize from the price that Behringer aims for a certain quality level that jaw-droppingly defies its price range, and they achieve that. This stuff plays way above its pay grade.Shooshie

Bought this in November 2015 - Channel 8 turned up with distinctive buzz in it. Amazon swapped it for another. The second unit, a month later, turned up with the same buzz. I've plugged it into different sockets in different parts of the house and different head phones. It's only in Channel 8; the others are great. I otherwise like the unit. Unfortunately, now I'm about 4 days outside of the 30 day return window, and Amazon won't take it back without a return fee, which sounds like it'll be half the cost. I still need an 8 channel amp! I'm not happy with Behringer for sloppy quality control, and I'm not happy with Amazon for being hardcore about the return.Behringer - are you listening?

Worked beautifully at first but the first channel took a dump and produces nothing but static. Luckily, there are 8 channels and I only needed 5 so I have 3 channels to burn. There is a difference between the 500.00 dollar Headphone Amp units and the lower grade. I guess time to save up and Buy the real deal.

Works as described and the sound quality is very good. There is some noticeable hum in channel eight, but boosting the master channel and lowering the channel volume gets rid of it. I've read some articles and some of the transformer wires need to be routed differently to remove the hum completely.

this thing is amazing for the price. If you have more than 1 person sitting in proximity (i.e., a podcast or radio show) this will do the trick. You can have specific inputs for specific channels, and can have two separate switchable channels as well (e.g., main output and monitor output). Audio quality is good and the controls are simple. Thanks, Behringer!

I wanted to replace an old Rane HC 6 headphone console (a discontinued item), and this did the trick. Just as I did with the HC 6, I not only use this item as a headphone amp, I also use it as a preamp for other audio mixes before sending the signals on to power amplifiers. As opposed to the Rane HC 6, this device has an internal power supply, which is MUCH PREFERED! I don't have to worry about attaching a grounding wire somewhere else, or finding a place to mount an external power transformer in an already-crowded rack enclosure, like I did with the HC 6. This is a neat device that takes up very little space, and I'm very happy with it. I was pleased with the selling price, as well.

I have read many negative reviews regarding Behringer products and I have to say I just don't get it. I have purchased just a couple of products from this company and have been extremely happy with both.The distribution amp works great and has great sound. It is easy to set up and use. The build quality is excellent for a product of this type and price point.I am setting up my DJ business and appreciate that I can buy high quality equipment without breaking the bank.

Poor product description. Did not mention it operates in 110Vac. I purchased separate 220V-110Vac converter so I can use this product. Tested using it and so far, it's not that good but not bad at all.
