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!

Needs a very strong line-level signal to be loud enough
You have to feed the HPA a very, very strong line-level signal. Only then will full volume be almost too loud for your ears in your buds, and you can therefore turn it down a little and have some control over the loudness level.
But if you feed it an average line-level signal, you'll have to keep the volume knob at full, and still barely hear you're playing above the stage noise.
Does 9V power mean you can put this on your guitar pedalboard? Not necessarily - it's bloody huge. If this is your intention, measure it very carefully, and allow for plenty of access in-front (knobs) and behind (cables).
Build quality is good. Sound quality is good, and no hiss or hum using my pedalboard power.
Apart from the amplification issue, this is a nice wired-IEM unit.

Affordable battery powered headphone amp
Does what it says on the tin. Sounds fine. Very useful that it can be battery powered. The battery lasts plenty of time and the low batt light gives plenty of warning.
Able to drive headphones more than loud enough for my needs.
The headphone socket can be slightly recessed which causes problems for some plugs. I bought five, had to dismantle them all to get the headphone socket flush with the front panel.
Great value but let down a bit by build quality.

Entry level
This unit is great for the money. We use it week in week out for our bass player. He uses some Shure 215 drivers.
Only issue is that it's a bit big and you cannot attach it to your belt. That said, it sits on top of the bass cab and is close enough for the bass player to plug in to.
Basically it's fine and it's great value for money.

Nice, simple, basic features
Bought this to use with Shure SE-215CL when playing bass.
Nice sturdy and useful box.. Very well built with some nice features, and good sound. Output signal could be a little bit better, but for the price price it's okay. I would give it 4/5 rating stars if only it could have 6.35mm jack socket.
But for the price it is really good choice.
