Perfect hard-of-hearing solution,

This review is from: Behringer HA400 4-Channel Stereo Headphone Amp (Electronics)
I bought this because I have trouble hearing the TV and I've already tried various wireless headphone devices without success. Those that required batteries used them up fast, especially when I didn't remember to turn the unit off. Then, they had to be synced every time I changed the batteries. Others needed to be recharged between sessions and would run dry in the middle of a movie. Others had the hardware built into the headphones making them heavy and requiring replacement of the whole system when the headphones wore out.
Finally I discovered this little headphone amp and I couldn't be happier. To my slightly inadequate ears, it sound very clear and it has far more amplification that I can ever use. My wife uses one of the other outlets occasionally and, of course, there's a couple of spare jacks if I have any hard-of-hearing company. It has a power supply so no more piles of dead batteries.
I'd recommend it for anyone who wants to get a boost or extra ports...Read more

An inexpensive solution to a common problem,

Do not let the size fool you. This is a very handy piece of equipment and it's so easy to set up and use. Just plug a 1/4 inch stereo cable into your sub out on your mixer and then into the HA400, then plug in up to 4 pairs of headphones and your set to track overdubs. This is perfect for a small home studio on a budget and it's built like a tank. Be forewarned that this a very basic headphone distribution system, you can only adjust volume from the HA400 and it would be wise to purchase a real long 1/4 stereo cable and extensions for the headphones if you want to isolate vocals.

Not bad, but power supply connection is very loose,

I just got this little box in order to do a sesson with some of my buds. It seeps to work and sound ok (not extreme amplification) but the power supply plug fits very loosly (hence the low rating) so I had to use a rubber band to hold it in. Seems most Berringer equipment these days is getting lower and lower in quality. This may be my last Berringer purchase. Better off with Roll for this kind of equpment.
