ART HeadAmp6PRO 6-Channel Headphone Amp  

Awesome features with with treble, bass, balance for each channel

Channels began blowing out IMMEDIATELY after the warranty expired

If it didn't fry it would have been a great deal on a great product.

I don't think that I just got a bad one. what happened to me, I'm seeing other reviews with the same issue. It was literally within two weeks of the warranty expiring that channel 1 fried out and the clip meter shot up to peak and stayed on. But I didn't worry too much about it, as i still had 5 more channels, right? Well not for long. Three more channels have since popped out of commission, and fried a $100 set of headphones with one of them. The most frustrating part is that neither ART nor Musician's Friend will do anything about it, as it is just barely out of warranty. (Not that I really expected Musician's Friend to do anything, as it really isn't their responsibility.)

So... if you like your headphones, and don't particularly like flushing $200 or more down the toilet, then I would have to say avoid this headphone amp. I learned the hard way this time. I guess I COULD have bought the extended coverage... but then crap would have been replaced with crap, right? I'll be going with Alesis or PreSonus from now on.

I give it an 8 only because perfection is rarely if ever achieved. But I would strongly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a quality headphone monitor system that delivers excellent sound reproduction and plenty, and I do mean plenty of power and headroom but who is also on a very strict budget as I am. I was torn between the Headamp 6 and the Headamp 6 Pro simply for the easy access to the Aux input on front on the Headamp 6 and I did not feel that Bass and Treble controls were that important for each channel. What won me over to the  Headamp 6 Pro was simply the 6 headphones that came with it for free because i needed headphones also. Remember I am on a budget or you can call me cheap...anyway. I am very pleased with my choice I have used it on several sessions in my basement studio with anywhere from 1 to 5 musicians including drummers and have found that it was more than up to the challenge, offering lots of power and the more me option is awesome for the drummer to give him a click without confusing or frustrating the other musicians. And the Bass and Treble is actually quite handy in dialing in the sound for some people and with the further option to select between Stereo, Left Mono, Right Mono or Combined Mono is very handy for creating somewhat individual mixes with only a few outputs from my Daw. The headphones really surprised me! They are definitely on the cheap end of the spectrum as I expected and they look like they are over the ear types in the photos but they are not. They are on the ear but they sound quite impressive, clear with good bottom end much more that I anticipated when I opened the first set and they handle alot of volume without breaking up again wow.

So far I have had no issues it seems well built and of quality materials it feels like a solid piece of equipment! Unlike some of the other products out there that while they may do as intended they don't have the power, they do not fit in a rack and they are plastic and feel cheap.

With the headphones and the features it is an outstanding value for small setups like myself on a tight budget....You will thank yourself.

Wow for the price you can't go wrong Headphones and a distribution syste!

This looks really well made.

I think this looks like a great unit but the one I received from Musicians Friend was defective. 2 of th

6 channels were dead. I am glad that I got it from Musicians Friend becuase their service is great and they will be sending another one. I hope for luck with the new one.
