I don't normally write product reviews, but I felt obligated to write this one. The MINIamp has changed my life! My wife and I are elderly and quite hard of hearing. Hearing-aids don't do the trick for us. Watching DVD's and other video programs has become quite difficult and unpleasant -until we found the Behringer MINIAmp, that is. What a joy! It has made a huge difference. The sound is exquisite. My wife was formerly a professional muscian. She, too, raves about the sound. We can distinguish the first and second violins in a string quartet! The unit is simple to use, despite having two input sources and four headphone outputs. The price is truly unbelievable -a real bargain.
Buy Behringer AMP800 Four Channel Headphone Amp Now
This isn't for anyone looking for a professional solution for a headphone amp, but for 99% of people, they just want something cheap that works, and this completes that job with extreme valiance! What a great buy! Works great, small and portable, 2 inputs and 4 channels. This means that you can have 4 headphones and on each channel you can switch between input 1 or input 2. I have this as input one is the feed before signal processing (dry) and input 2 is the signal after processing. Neat!

This headphone amp will serve my purpose well. It's plastic, and lightweight, so it seems a little less rugged than one might expect, or desire, but does the job. I was pleasantly surprised that it actually has 8 headphone jacks, four on the front panel and four on the back, but the level can only be controlled four the four main outs on the front panel. The unit has a source level and a headphone level control so you can easily get a nice strong signal and trim back the output volume with the headphone level.
I record a podcast and sometimes have 3 or more people joining me in the studio. The Behringer Ultra Compact Headphone Amp does the job, allowing us to all monitor our studio mics and whoever we're voice chatting with online for the show. I recommend it for podcasters who need extra headphone outs for co-hosts and guests.
You'll need headphones with 1/4 inch stereo phono plug, or an 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. adapter for headphones with smaller plugs.

If you're looking for a decent headphone amp and you're on a budget, this is the way to go. I've been a professional musician and audio engineer for 20 years now and I usually shy away from Behringer products, but I've been less than wealthy lately so I figured I'd give this a shot. It's loud, it works, and does what it says it does. I didn't give it 5 stars because it's very lightweight and made of plastic so I'm afraid if it ever takes a tumble it will wind up in pieces or just not work anymore. It also doesn't sound amazing.. I'm not saying it sounds bad, but I did notice a quality difference in audio when using it. That being said, this is a great tool for a home studio.
Odd as it sounds, I actually picked this up for use with Rock Band 2 (etc.) as it has 8(!) headphone outputs over four independent channels, everyone can hook in their own favorite headphones to play and not disturb others in the room (much) or improve their playing (turn up the instrument track and the rest down a bit, really helps with drum beats).
A few potential caveats/less than ideal features:
Sound quality is a bit less than audiophile, but not much more than good enough for everything but serious music listening.
ALL inputs/outputs are 1/4" stereo (yeah, the big kind) so most people will need adapters to plug in headphones, and you'll need dual 1/4" to RCA cables (see "DJ cables") to connect to a TV.
It may just be my TV, but I had to crank the input gain nearly to the max to get a good audio level. (Still more than enough volume and quality does not seem to suffer.)
Overall it works as advertised, despite being small and lightweight (in audio, generally the heavier the better). I'm very pleased with it.
