PreSonus Special Edition HP2 Personal Stereo Headphone Amplifier (1/4 TRS Breakout Cable)
UPC's:
If you are looking for quality design this may NOT be it.
If you are looking in this price range, you are likely looking for quality performance and reliability as I. After all there are many headphone amplifiers out there for a 50-80% less; some starting as low as $20. Physically this is a slightly above average quality product; knobs are plastic. The sound quality is descent after it is turned on. The big issue is there is a very loud turn-on pop heard through the headphone/earbud output, regardless ... Show More

THE BEST
Very sturdy box and belt clip. Knobs have a nice feel and comfortable resistance to them. Lasts over 10 hours on one battery. Stereo mini XLR to two female XLR Y-cable makes it MUCH lighter on the hip. (Competition has two XLR inputs (L/R) makes this heavy on the belt due to the pull of two cables.) Costs more than P1 but, when you consider PreSonus includes the the power supply and XLR, you wind up spending the same. I have three in my studio. Adding more soon.

Quality Product
I bought this item for a use slightly different than the manufacturer's intent - I gave to my boom operator as monitor. I fed him boom on one channel and the mix on the other so her could use the fade feature to select what he was hearing. The sound quality is really good, the construction is durable and the size is convenient. We powered the unit with a 9v battery and it lasted nearly two 12-hour days. That's impressive.

In-Ear System
I bought this system as a gift for someone but haven't actually used it yet, although it seems really well built and designed, like most Presonus products. What I'm most impressed with however is B&H getting it to me the day before Christmas when I only ordered it the day before. Hard to believe they actually got it done... I'll continue to buy from both B&H and Presonus.
