I'd like to pick up a decent enough headphone amp for 3-4 phones. Cheaper is better, cause I could just run some off the board but I figure it'll be easier with a standalone amp. At least for any more than two people tracking at a time. A while back I was looking at a samson rack unit. Don't remember the model right now, but what are some suggestions or experiences you've had with different gear? Anyone getting a mix off this amp will likely be playing along with live drums in the same room (most likely via direct in or maybe with amps going too) or at best outside of the room in the hallway.
Headphone amp suggestions? Cheap/effective

I use this one:

It's not the quietest thing on the planet, but it provides me with plenty of outputs. I find it super useful for monitoring during recording as it has 4 inpus, and for each channel there's a selector switch to specify which input you want to listen to. I've found it to have plenty of output for my needs (3 people tracking, live drums and live guitar amp in the same room, and everybody gets their own monitor mix).
they have a 4-channel version which is cheaper, but it only has 2 selectable inputs:

The Presonus HP4 is pretty good for $99.

It's the smell..
The Behringer Powerplay should be considered at this price point.
Very flexible signal routing too. I had one and used it daily for years...worked just fine. It gets damn hot tho, so mind where you mount it.

I have been using Presonus HP 60. It has 6 ouputs, 2 sets of stereo ins as well as 6 seperate ins for the more me effect. Priced around 200 dollars. I love mine.
wOW, That Behringer looks just like the Samson S-Phone. Anyone know the differences between the two?

Just the brand name
And quite possibly the country of origin, but then again... probably not
