This product is a great value for a musician that needs to monitor with headphones, which is what it's designed for. For that purpose, it works well, and it's hard to believe that they can build something as elaborate as this for the price. I used it for to amplify the output of a TV for headphones. For this, it needs a couple of adapters, to convert a 1/8" stereo input to two 1/4" mono inputs. I also needed to adapt a 1/4" headphone output to 1/8" to be compatible with my headphones. Once I had the right adapters, it worked very well, but it wasn't as simple as just plugging it in. It's more than what I needed, but the price was so fair that it didn't matter. I would still recommend it highly.

This product is used in a project studio for recording/listen back purposes. I'm using it to monitor live recordings and then monitor tracks for overdubs.
I/O is adequate, I am able to hook this up to my recording interface without issue.
Sound quality is clean, powerful.
My only gripe, the case is pretty flimsy...would not inspire confidence if it fell from the desk.

Comments about Behringer AMP800 - MINIAMP Compact 4-Channel Headphone Amplifier:
I need a quick, affordable headphone amp solution. This seemed to be it. It works exactly as advertised. Build quality is good for the price but this is no Rane or Presonus quality. It sounds ok but has cheap electronics inside. When you switch one headphone amp to a or b, the light above it or below it turns on in sympathy.
I would buy this again...

Comments about Behringer AMP800 - MINIAMP Compact 4-Channel Headphone Amplifier:
I am a hobby keyboardist and have widely differing degrees of hearing loss between ears. The controls on this product let me adjust to exactly my needs. The amount of amplification is more than adequate. This will also greatly improve my listening to CDs

Comments about Behringer AMP800 - MINIAMP Compact 4-Channel Headphone Amplifier:
I use this in a small home studio. This is a strong headphone amp with many features including support for two headphones per channel. VU meters for each channel including input.
Seems a bit fragile, but no problems for me with use. Definitely a good value with good features.
Headroom is excellent and output is very strong.

Comments about Behringer AMP800 - MINIAMP Compact 4-Channel Headphone Amplifier:
It looks pretty, but after a few yanks on the cables or falls from the desk, this thing quickly wears out. If you're using it at home in a safe environment, you can probably scrape by with it, but for any type of situation where it might take some abuse, I would not recommend it.

Comments about Behringer AMP800 - MINIAMP Compact 4-Channel Headphone Amplifier:
I use this product to interface a low-level output of my Receiver/Amplifier to drive AM and FM transmitters, and the audio input to a remote computer. The unit works very well with independent output channel adjustments. Noise, hum and distortion are imperceptible.
I do wish the channel outputs had 5 to 10 dB greater power.

Comments about Behringer AMP800 - MINIAMP Compact 4-Channel Headphone Amplifier:
I use this product for the musicians in our worship team. Two people connect to one channel and share a mix. We use 2 of these units for 5 people. I also use the titan earbuds.
The unit has a great sound to it. It is used through the monitor aux in the sound system. I have to turn down the gain on the equalizer so as to not overdrive the miniamp.
With the right adjustments, this miniamp delivers superior sound, and great performance.

Comments about Behringer AMP800 - MINIAMP Compact 4-Channel Headphone Amplifier:
Very flexible compact unit...
Either of 2 stereo inputs can be selected to any or all of 4 pairs of stereo headphones. Each with individual controls. Multiple units can be chained to support additional headphones.
Quality seems excellent for remote, on-site work.
(Might not meet extreme studio standards, though.)
But, given the cost of the unit, it's a very good value...
