headphone AMps

Whats everyone use?

Looking into Presonus' HP4...maybe the HP60 but i can't really find any reviews on either.

Thoughts?

I've used the Pocket Rock-it for bass. Had it some time now, use it often.... works very well.

For a no nonsense plug/play box, also built like a brick for the road, the cafe Walter suits me fine. Especially for playing on the bus on the road. Runs off of the 2 9 volts for a long time, I can practice anywhere.

I have a sampson, its cheap - its ok, the tone is overly mid heavy, but perhaps intended so as to help hear your lines while tracking with a drummer

I would prefer one with a more true sound, still It gets the job done, I can mix my sound with the monitor out, everybody's happy

using Sennheiser headphones & JDI with my passive basses

I have the HP4. It's a decent headphone amp/splitter. I personally haven't tried any other real expensive units, so I don't have anything to compare it to. But for the price, it does what it's supposed to do.

I think that is essentially what I'm going for. As long as the sound comes through accurately and clearly then great.

Yup. It does the job. No frills, but it takes a signal and sends it to 4 volume controlled headphones. And under $100

I've been using a Carvin H400 - but with 'less than favorable' results. I don't know if the unit is bad or if I am somehow using it improperly, but there is an obnoxious 'clipping' that seems to happen when all 4 headphone jacks are in use and there are audio feeds to Channel A, B and the Aux. ins (the more me inputs).

I suspect that Channel B on this unit is faulty - but I still have troubleshooting to do before I can say definitively where the clipping is coming from.

If I'm not near an outlet, I use the Dragonfly stethoscope amp. Otherwise I use a Cafe Walter.

Confused......

Are we talking about personal practice headphone amps or multiple headphone amps for like recording?

I was talking recording. I have different opinions for practice headphone amps.

Recording actually.

Practice wise, I have that dealt with.

I have a Samson C-Que 8, it's worked very well for tracking sessions with a drummer thus far.
