A mentionable detail
bou758 14.09.2021
An important detail of this device that isn't mentioned on the product page is that the output impedance of every channel is specified at 47 Ohms. (ref. Manual in box)

I personally would regard this number orders of magnitude greater than acceptable, especially as this amplifier is marketed for use with consumer headphones that commonly feature very low impedances.

No on/off switch
Tomgh 04.04.2022
I don't like it that much, but I don't have the money now for a better one like Rolls RA-53b.
Amplification is weak. I think I hear a small quality drop compared to not using it too. It's more of a splitter.
I don't get it why a device like this doesn't have an on-off switch. OK, it's one less button to get noise, but I want to turn it off without having to reach back to the power socket.

Nice headphone amp for the money
Eric405 19.07.2013
I needed a basic 4 channel headphone amp for my home studio so I went ahead and bought this. It does exactly what it says, a nice 4 channel headphone amp, perfect for recording bands or when there are more than one artist recording at the same time. There is just the 1 input so as I said it is basic, the 4 outputs are going to be all the same, the mix will be the exact same in all sets of headphones. Its a nice unit, solidly built and the level knobs work perfectly, I never really have to turn any of them past 1 o clock, as they are plenty loud. If you are looking for a no frills headphone amp to add some more headphone outputs to your usb/firewire interface then this is perfect for you. If you need various different mixes for each set of headphones then you probably need something more expensive.

No fuss, very simple and portable
Heka 09.01.2019
Cheap and absolutely crucial when recording an artist. I use it in studio to let everyone involved listen with their own headphones they are used to and when tracking to control the performers, bystanders and my own headset. And it does what it's supposed to, one signal becomes four each with it's own volume. I would maybe ask for a global volume knob, but it's not that big of a deal. Allaround, it's small an portable.

For the highest impedance headphones I'm not sure if the device has enough power in it, tho, even with an external power source (no USB). Also, the green light is a little bright for my taste and I have taped it.

I bought the ART HeadAMP about 6 years ago and I use it almost every day.
I hooked up my laptop to the input, and my headphones and speakers to the outputs.

I don't need any adapters as all in- and output jacks come in both sizes ("normal" jack + smaller headphone jack)

The case is very rugged and heavy and it feels super solid overall.
It's really a joy to turn the knobs, they feel super smooth, even after so many years of constant use.

Lately I've started to notice some crackle when turning one of the knobs, sounds like dust entered the case.
I did not yet attempt to open and clean the potentiometers though.

Otherwise the sound is really good and there is no noticeable noise.

All in all I would buy this Amp again, it just feels super solid and seems indestructible. The sound is very good and the handling is top-notch.

Great little amp
Sonica.be 12.02.2021
Pro's: Well built, plenty of gain, sounds good; Both 3.5 and 6.3mm output jack is a nice extra.

Con's: No on/off switch, numbers of output are under the volumeknobs in dark purple, so not very readable.

If only there was a little mixer like this with simple low/high eq, that would be usefull.

Does what it says on the tin
lukewatts 22.05.2023
I use these with my Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 350 Ohm headphones, and I only have to set the volume at just less than 50% to have the perfect volume for mixing and audio production. My PC volume is about 25% - 50% depending on what I'm doing.

No complaints

Perfect for the money
Monolougue 10.06.2018
Top Quality, Top build.
i connect this to my Apollo twin sound-card, with really nice quality still.
I needed it to provide more power to my Beyerdynamic headphones, which works super nice and brought them to life.
Definitely recommend them.

cheap and cheerful
nuc_64 18.05.2023
It's a cheap 4-channel headphone amp.
Route your signal in, find your favourite pair of cans, dial in the volume, hand another pair to your co-conspirator.
I also use it to A/B different monitoring headphones whose characteristics I know well, in a feeble attempt to combat ear fatigue (but really, to catch what pair 1 missed, with pair 2).
It's a problem-solver for me; as it solves the problem, that's five stars.
