Searched for something one here and found nothing...I need a headphone amp for my studio and i can only find a couple and one is the behringer rackable one...Does anybody know if it is anygood. its just a headphone amp i dont see how they could make one of those suck, but w/e. Someone give me some product ideas?!?!?!?!
 
Well, the Behringer still is not that great. Yes, they have found a way to make even a headphone amp not sound very good.

That being said, I have a couple of them. They are inexpensive, feature packed, and drive pretty loud. I had a few of the older models blow channels, but the newer ones have held up for me now for 5 years or so. They sound very harsh, the highs distort pretty easily and the lows always sound rumbly and loose. But, they go loud which is what alot of my clients use. I DEFINATELY would not attempt to do any mixing on headphones through the Behringer headphone amp. What you hear is NOT what you are feeding it. Then again, I would not reccomend mixing on headphones anyhow.
 
I've had two ART headphone amps in the last month, and both give out noticeable noise when adjusting channel volumes. I exchanged the first one but kinda accepted the problem with this second one (lazyness really :rolleyes: ). I went for ART because of their splendid EQ with feedback detection (HQ 231).
 
For my small bedroom studio, I like the Presonus HP4. I have my main monitors, headphones, and a couple of sets of computer speakers attached to it and it does a swell job. The monitor out has a passive gain attenuation and mute button and it does not seem to affect the signal quality much (a tiny bit of extra hiss at high volumes).
 
presonus is lookign good...i just wish it was rackable. I really dont want that thing on my desk.
