Does this just split the audio, or does it actually "drive" headphones? If so, how many Ohms can it handle?

This headphone amp is the complete package as far as I'm concerned. The sound is in "stereo" so the sound is complete, not just one side or the other. And trust me, You don't want to crank up the volume on this thing, you might risk injuring your ears. I keep if the volume control was in notches, it would only be maybe two notches. The power is there. The technical questions, I don't know how to answer, because I don't pay much attention to that sort of thing. If it works good, then I'm happy. Truthfully I don't know what would happen if you plugged in the max. number of headsets. Since I am only one person and have no reason to use more than one.

It has a power adapter to drive headphones. As far as ohms I believe I saw 80ohms as the headphone impedance.

It doesn't drive them as much as i want, but it does amplify. Impedance of cans will vary how much amp you hear. Cmoy amp is better imho...

It's an active amp which is why it plugs into a wall outlet. It amplifies the signal from the input and splits it into each output, and it has plenty of cojones to drive my over-ear phones into heavy distortion. I assume that's what you mean by "drive." Not sure what you mean by "how many Ohms can it handle". Headphones are generally low watt, high impedance--like 40+ ohm. I personally wouldn't try to drive a low impedance load like a speaker with it.

It is actually an active amplifier - 4 independently controlled amplifiers (each 80 ohms/0.04 watts) driven by the headphone out or line out of your mixer. We use it in a sports broadcast environment - more than enough power for our announcers to hear the mix.

It includes an amp for each channel. I don't know the ohms it can handle but I have plugged in light-weight "walkman" style headphones, good quality audiio headphones and earbuds and all are driven just fine, with plenty of volume. FYI I use this with an optical-digital-to-RCA converter to convert my HDTV's optical audio out to a power sufficient to drive a pair of headphones through roughly 20 feet of thin "headphone extension cord" cable. In this setup, I use one channel of the Behringer with the pot at about 30% and use separate headphone volume controls to cut this down to comfort level. It includes an amp for each channel.

Low noise ratio. It will support two headphones. Use a good power conditioner and keep the scarlet away from powered monitors and flourescent lighting. This will also help.

You don't have to use a splitter. It has 2 headphone inputs on the side.it worked out great for me and my nephew at the nascar auto club 400 and the volume level was plenty loud for both of us Jim from California

It only supports 4 devices in... and I'm not entirely clear how you'd use it for typical headphones out, it doesn't have a headphone jack.You also don't use the box to isolate particular cords. Unless you're trying to split them up over the 4 'device' inputs? Which theoretically would let you change between 4 different lines... but they'd still have to be component outputs.I have to admit this is an odd query.

Thanks for the replies. Will keep it in mind when I am ready to buy a headphone amp.

it should work fine especially due to the higher ohm rating (higher ohm rating on speakers = less demanding on the amps)1 ohm = for every 1 volt it wil also demand 1 amp8 ohm = for every 1 volt it will demand 0.125 ampsthese headphones are 62 ohms so that means they are more forgiving on the power delivery abilities of a USB deviceusb = 5v therefore it will only need about 0.0806 amps and usb can supply anywhere from 0.5-5 amps depending on your equipment. I hope this helps.

I am using Philips X1, which is 30 Ohms. It has more than enough power for my taste. I'm not sure if a 250 Ohm headphone would work, without an amp.

get a three way headphone split, or you could get a little weird and plug headphones into the fx send and mon send outputs and control the volume via the send knobs on each channel!

it's an excellent choice, especially for smaller desks/laptop use. I use mine exclusively with this set-up. for its size, the device is fairly powerful to drive higher-ohm headphones.

It may depend a little on your device, but it certainly won't be cut in half. I notice little to no reduction in volume when I plug in a second headset, although it varies slightly depending on the device. So far, I've used it on a Sansa Clip+ MP3 player, a 7" Android tablet, and my laptop.

With 3 settings for impedance variations, my guess would be that it'll drive them just fine. I've only run iems & ath-m50x's tho, fwiw.

Hi, John.It really does amplify the audio from "Stereo In." It can also decrease the volume if the "Stereo In" volume is pretty hot. The one thing I wouldn't do is attempt to plug in both a 1/4" and a mini-headphones cord into the same amp output channel. This messes with the signal characteristics and may affect how the audio is amplified. Instead, use one jack per output channel. HIH!

I use this with the HD 650 (300 ohm), this amplify the sound for weaker media players that can't provide much output power to the headphones, or to complement media players that need an extra boost in power output. This also provides a bass and treble boost if desired.

No, you can't. The only thing you can do is to buy a separate audio splitter which are, by the way, inexpensive. The bad thing about it is you cannot have independent volume control.

If you split the 3.5 audio output connection it will run two speakers, but at a slightly lower volume.

Yes u can but they are specifically made to split the audio with head phones

Not sure this helps, but I have used it to drive pre-amp audio in, electrostatic headphones, and hi-end (40 ohm?) earbuds, works fine for all three
