Behringer HA400 Headphone Amplifier

No hassle Recordings

Strengths: Great little amp for headphones. Individual volume conrtols are great.

Weakness: None that I've encountered as yet

I bought this unit so I could record music without hassling the family upstairs. My band uses electronic drums along with electric guitar and bass through a 24 track recorder. Each of us now have a great monitor system without distubing anyone. Super value.

HA400 as headphone amp

Strengths: Worked as expected

Weakness: None

I used HA400 as a headphone amp from unpowered source. My HDTV has audio line out, but no headphone out. The audio line out is not powered. Therefore, I feed the line out into the HA400. Then from HA400 to my headphones. Works great. Since I used this HA400 to amplify sound from HDTV, this is not really a hifi setup. I didn't hear any issue with the sound quality.

I used HA400 as a headphone amp from unpowered source. My HDTV has audio line out, but no headphone out. The audio line out is not powered. Therefore, I feed the line out into the HA400. Then from HA400 to my headphones. Works great.

Since I used this HA400 to amplify sound from HDTV, this is not really a hifi setup. I didn't hear any issue with the sound quality. But I don't think the sound from HDTV can be used to judge any impact (positive or negative) the amp had on quality.

From the single input, HA400 has 4 outputs capability, each with separate gain control. That means 4 people can listen to the same source, and they can adjust the gain independently. Kind of overkill for my use. I'd rather they make a unit (call it HA100) that has 1 output for lower price.

The unit is made of metal, but it is rather light. So with the cables running into and out of it, it will not sit flat on my table. The weight of the cables will cause it to topple over. Not an issue for me, but others might want to mount it down.

Note that HA400 input and outputs are the large 1/4" plug. In my case, all my cables and headphones plugs are small 1/8" plug. Not a big deal. Just need some extra attachments.

It's small, but delivers a pretty good punch!

Strengths: It's conveniently small and provides a clear amplified signal for 4 separate headphones.

Weakness: So far, so good...but time will tell about its durability. One minor problem is that the sound quality suffers (distortion), when you crank it up near '11'...but maybe that's to be expected.

The Behringer HA400 4-channel stereo headphone amplifier does everything it promises!!! It is conveniently small (the AC/DC converter is almost as large), but it provides a high-quality amplified signal for 4 separate channels/headphones. We've used it during band practice (instead of bursting our eardrums with live, amplified sound in our small practice room) as well as during live performances...

The Behringer HA400 4-channel stereo headphone amplifier does everything it promises!!! It is conveniently small (the AC/DC converter is almost as large), but it provides a high-quality amplified signal for 4 separate channels/headphones. We've used it during band practice (instead of bursting our eardrums with live, amplified sound in our small practice room) as well as during live performances with in-ear monitors...and it works like a charm!


PLUS, it was a great bargain...good performance for a very reasonable price. All in all, I recommend this amp for most everyday uses.
