I need to get myself a headphone amp and at least 3 sets of phones for a project I'm about to start. I'd like to spend no more than $200. The phones need to contain the sound so that it won't leak back into the mic. I've been looking at this:

It comes with the Presonus HP4 and 4 pairs of AKG M 80 headphones for $200. I know the HP4 is supposed to be good, but I haven't found anything on the phones. By themselves they cost $40 apiece. Does this package seem like a good idea?
Also looking at the Behringer Powerplay Pro-8 HA-8000 for $139.

It's got 8 channels, which would be good for future expandability, and it's rackmountable, which is a plus. This would limit my headphone budget to about $20 a pair. They're going to be used for multiple BGVs to sing simultaneously, so as long as they can hear and the sound doesn't leak, it's okay.
Any opinions/other recommendations would be great. Thanks!
