I recently ordered this headphone amplifier mainly for our drummer to use at gigs as on several of the songs that we play, we use keyboard backing tracks and he plays to click tracks. We had been using a small guitar practice combo to run his headphones but were looking for something more compact to do the job and found this on the Thomann site at a really good price.
One thing I was concerned with when ordering was that the supplied power adaptor was a 2 pin European mains plug but I am in the UK. Fortunately, Thomann automatically provided a UK 3 pin mains adaptor free of charge!
When I opened the box there were 2 things that struck me straight away. One was just how small and compact this thing is - not much bigger than an old caste tape case. The other was the build quality for the price - aluminium casing with sturdy plastic end caps. The 4 simple volume knobs controlling each of use 4 separate channels have a smooth operation and are clearly centre dettented as well.
Having now tried it at a gig it performed really well too. It gave a strong enough output that our drummer could hear the click track clearly through standard headphones even over our very loud band. He was also very happy with the clarity of the sound.
I have since tried using this as a practice headphone amp by plugging my bass guitar in directly and it worked perfectly.
Overall this is a great little unit for an unbeatable price. The ability to puree it from a battery rather than mains only would have been a useful feature but I guess it would have put the price up and the value for money is one of its strong points.
Highly recommended!

Great amp for the money

I bought this headphone amp for my project studio to send the headphone mic from my DAW to the live room for drummers and vocalists. It's proven to be very reliable and sturdy despite its low price.
Pros:
1. Very strong metal housing. This is not some cheap plastic that will break easily. This unit can take a beating and it will still work like a champ.
2. Comes with detachable rubber feet that help the amp to stay in place and not slip away. The rubber also helps to prevent it from damage, if dropped.
3. It can produce very high volume - it's suited even for very loud drummers.
Cons:
1. Somewhat flimsy volume knobs, although I doubt that they would break easily or stop functioning.
2. It has some self-noise - a little hissing can be heard from the unit, although it is not a problem once music starts playing.
Summary:
It is an excellent unit for the price. I would definitely get another one if I lost this. Highly recommended, especially for beginners.

I bought this headphone amp to replace the one that I misplaced, being a student I usually buy on a budget so this was perfect for me with the low costs but high quality product. Consider this if your looking for a headphone amp, you won't be disappointed. I have owned both this and the Behringer HA400 however prefer this product due to its more stable build, exterior protection and overall look. Highly recommended for those who need a simple quiet practice solution or for a quick solution for sending backing tracks to drummers headphones / in-ear monitoring. Out of the two I would recommend this as the superior quality headphone amp
Overall:
Good Build
Lasting Quality
Cheap Price
Well Protected
Rubber surround ensures it stays put - less likely to be knocked over
Don't hesitate to buy with confidence.

I am using this along with my Scarlett 2i2 Studio Pack for my travel studio setup. It is very useful went you want to work with someone together for example when you are tracking or when you want to work silently on a project
The thing is very robust with dials that just feel incredibly high-quality. The side bumpers also help to confirm the robust nature of this unit.
It is easy to use, simply connect a line-in cable to the output of the unit you are connecting and the input of the headphone amplifier, connect your headphones and off you go.
Only design flaw I find is that the knobs are in a position on the unit that makes it impractical when chucking it into a bag. I think it would have been better to put them on the side so the unit isn?t so bulky.
