Very useful
This is a really useful little box. I use mine as a small mixer for musical directors in a pit orchestra. I feed one channel with band and click track, and the other channel with the cast singing. The mix feature allows them to set the balance between these 2 mixes, which is really useful, particularly in quieter numbers where the cast need turning up. A real labour saving for me.
The unit is well built, though mine already has a few scratches on it. It's not been particularly misused so I wonder if the paint finish is maybe a little delicate. It really doesn't affect the functionality though.
The balance knob has a centre detent, although this detent is slightly misaligned with the legend on the panel. Again nothing big to worry about.
Would be even more useful if it had a 6.35mm jack socket as well as 3.5mm.
Great product. I'll be buying more.

An essential for in ear monitoring
This box is a godsend! I have used it on every gig I've done since owning it. It is also a very affordable option in this product category. The knobs on the front are of pretty good quality, the only slight annoyance is the fact that the balance knobs centre detent is slightly off where the notch catches. This is hardly something that would ever turn me off buying this product. The sound quality is great and it boosts my signal from mixing desk to in ears perfectly, the volume knob works perfectly also!

Sturdy, simple, good basic features
I bought this to use with Shure SE215-CL in-ear monitors. It revolutionalised playing gigs completely. Being a cello player I need to be able to hear exactly what I'm doing and it prooved very difficult with normal monitors. This devices enables me to control what I hear - and thanks to the 2 inputs, even when there's only one general monitor mix available from the desk, I can take a line from my cello DI's 2nd output into the Millenium HPA's 2nd input and blend the two to however suits me. It takes a while to get used to being stationary, and I would find a wireless setup way more flexible, but this is a decent quality affordable start for in-ear monitoring. It's a sturdy build as well so expect it to last.

A great alternative
I use this for monitoring my bass on stage and have found it really useful. I can also take a monitor feed from the PA on larger gigs. Seems to be the best non-wireless system available.

Okay thingy
It does what it's supposed to do, but the sound goes crackling when the input volume is too high. Which is unfortunate because I use it as an in ear alternative on stage, where there is a lot of sound. So in order to hear myself I need to turn up the volume to the cracling level

Handy unit
Good value but there's a very high-pitched whine/tone at all times if the volume's up high. It also gives a very loud pop/bang in the earphones when switched on so be careful!

Well built and solid
I purchased this to be build into a custom Rack unit, so the first thing was obviously to take it apart. It's surprisingly well build for the price with good workmanship. Can't think of flaws yet 'cause it is not used as originally intended :-)

Good little amp. Key word is "little".
The build quality is ok. A few of the connections have been unhappy and Thomann replaced the units free of charge, but the connectors to the headphone jacks are generally all a bit moveable.
They are really fine for stage use overall, just don't over feed them with signal as they have a limiter built in, and we find that some people want to more volume that the unit can provide to in ears. They don't go very low on the impedance at all, but if you are looking for a budget solution for ear buds then this will work for you. Overall they have served us well for what we bought them for, which was stage in ears in a house of worship. And they are balanced, which is really great and at that price point, they seem to be pretty good. I'd buy them again.

Good entry to IEM
I bought this product to test the waters with regards to switching to IEM.
It's reasonably specced, with two line/mic inputs that can be switched between mono and stereo mix modes. What it does lack, is a brickwall limiter which is found on more expensive models, so you do slightly run the ricks of an unexpected volume spike.
Soundwise, for the money it is great, and the individual volume controls mean that it is possible to have a decent amount of control over your mix.
Build quality seems pretty good too, the inputs are good and the whole unit is pretty solidly put together (mine is now mounted on my pedalboard)
Overall a great 'way in' to the world of iem without spending huge amount of cash, so you can decide whether or not it is for you.

Millenium HPA In Ear
For the money it does the job very well. It is rock solid in terms of construction, the pots feel nice and it has all the feautures of a fully fledged unit.
We were suprised that even with using one mono xlr input the stereo function mirrors that channel to the other channel in the stereo spectrum.
Definately a great buy ;)
