This is a **headphone** amplifier and when used as such it will be more than loud enough. If you need a speaker (or PA) system, look at other products. This is only for people wanting to boost and/or split their headphone output.
Now, I agree with one-star reviews if you have a channel (it tends to be channel #1) that only provides static when used with headphones and there are a couple of those reviews out there. Luckily, all four channels on my device work flawlessly. If I lose a channel, this review (and the star rating I give it) will be adjusted accordingly. That being said, I'd still give this about four stars with a channel not working because I don't need four channels... I only need two. Anyway, on with the review.
BOTTOM LINE - A great little device that amplifies stereo input for headphones (AND) allows you to split the output into four seperate stereo channels, each with it's own volume control.
NOTE: This plays very nicely with the Hosa MHE325 Female TRS 1/8-Inch to Male TRS 1/4-Inch Headphone Adaper Cable (25 ft, ~$10) which allows you to position the box where you need it (i.e. near the TV) and gives you extra cord to reach across a room. You'll want one of these cables per channel (unless you want to use a splitter at the end)

Review: I purchased this, like a lot of other reviewers to amplify sound from our television's audio out port to headphones.
We were using a long cable with a series of adapters and a splitter so we could have two sets of headphones and listen to the television quietly after the kiddos were in bed. Since our TV output is RCA, we needed to convert that to a 1/8" (female) stereo plug and then add in a splitter. Since the audio on the TV was a "line-out" port, we had no control over the volume and it was just barely loud enough to hear anything.
I eventually got frustrated with not hearing half of the conversations on our favorite programs and began to look for a full receiver that had a headphone output on the front that I could use. I really didn't cherish having to drop a couple of hundred dollars on a speaker system I'd hardly use.
I stumbled across this item by chance and decided at the low price point I'd give it a shot. I was very pleasantly surprised with the outcome. The box is very small and well constructed. It's very powerful (only needed the channel turned up less than a quarter of the way to hear it very loud and clear through our headphones).
My only real complaint is the little red LED on the front of the box is so bright, it distracts when the lights in the room are out and we are watching TV. I used a small piece of black electrical tape to cover it up and it's much better. Another minor gripe is the fact that there is no on-off switch so it's always on... but since my DVR is always on, this is a minor concern. We also plugged ours into our surge protector (which is highly recommended when working with sound equipment).
All in all, this is a wonderful little device that will definitely work nicely as a headphone amplifier and channel splitter. If you are need of something like this... Pyle has you covered.
If you are looking for something to power speakers, don't buy this. Look for a good PA system instead.
Back to the Amp, it serves its purpose well, volume only needs to be at 1/3 for the Sony headphones to be loud, plenty of power for all the Cans I tried. Looks nice and volume controls work well being on top. You will likely need 1/4 adapters as this unit takes full size plugs. Really no complaints for the price, I needed an amp to go from my Digital to analogue converter so I could get audio of my TV on headphones, this way the kids can sleep and I can use my new Plasma to watch some movies at night. For now I'm outputting from my Sony Bluray player which has a Coax digital out while I wait for my optical dual output adapter to arrive. Once that's in I will be able to have audio on the sound bar and headphones at the same time from all inputs to the TV. Figured it was better to go dual output then use a Toslink switch. Its surprising to me that some TV's now only have a single digital optical output.
Anyways to sum up, for 17 bucks you get an amp that powers four sets of headphones from a single 1/4 stereo jack source, just make sure to buy some adapters and long cords or hook up your wireless headphones and you should be all set. I imagine this unit would also work well for labs and you could also further split with y adapters, I did this briefly so I could compare two headphones side by side, you will need to obviously crank the volume up though if your driving two sets of headphones from a single jack. I imagine ear buds would need very little juice to power, mine were all over and on the ear sets and had plenty of power from the amp.
When I have my headphones plugged in wether I am listening to something or not there is no white noise created by the amp itself.
This amplifier is STEREO sound! many amps in this price range/size are mono, and I didnt want mono sound.
The sound is not diminished when another pair of headphones is plugged in and all the knobs work as intended (aka when one channel is turned up the other audio channels do not suffer in quality or volume).
The knobs themselves dont have any slack and are firmly attached.
At first I had a few issues with sound coming through one side only (as some other reviews had mentioned) but it was simply because I didnt have the jack firmly pressed in, once pressed in ALL the way the audio sounds even better coming out then going in.
There are a few things to note if you are buying this:
1. This does not come with an input cable, you will have to supply your own.
2. these are 1/4 jacks so if you have a standard pair of headphones or other accessories that have "small" (1/8) jacks you will want these (I got these as well). amazon.com/gp/product/B00PIWB2SO they are good quality, cheap and theres 5 of them so you have one for every port if need be.
3. The AC power cord is rather short, 3 foot, maybe 4 foot max. This made it rather inconvenient for me because my power source is just a bit farther than that.
Other than that this is a very well built amplifier that is worth the price you pay for it, I just wish it had a longer cord.

Just make sure you connect it at LINE LEVEL (as stated in the manual) and not MIC LEVEL and it works a treat.
If you do connect it at Mic level it's no more than a glorified TRS distributor box and won't give you much amplification/limiting control at all.
If you want a Mic Level device I'd personally recommend going for a FiiO amp instead.
