The missing cable matters here: at £16, this is still a strong deal, sitting below the £21 lower-quartile mark and far under the £68 median for comparable used listings. The price is especially attractive if the unit is tested, but budget for the correct 12V DC adapter and any required input/headphone leads.
The HA400 remains a useful little studio tool rather than merely a cheap splitter: it feeds four pairs of headphones simultaneously, with genuinely independent level controls for each output. It is compact, straightforward, and well suited to shared monitoring, rehearsals, podcasting, or adding multiple headphone feeds to an interface. Before buying, confirm that all four channels pass cleanly, the volume pots are not scratchy, and the power requirement is clearly specified; at this money, a working unit is an easy recommendation.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Behringer traces its roots to January 25, 1989, when Uli Behringer founded the company in Willich, Germany. A self-taught electronics enthusiast who built his first synthesizer at age 16, Uli drew inspiration from his father's church organ projects and his own struggles as a pianist and sound engineer. Unable to afford professional studio gear, he began crafting affordable alternatives for himself and friends, rapidly scaling from a home workshop into a full production facility. This DIY heritage underscores Behringer's mission to democratize high-quality audio tools.
The brand excels in a vast array of pro-audio and hi-fi categories, including mixers, compressors, amplifiers, powered speakers, DJ controllers, synthesizers, and signal processors. Early hits like the 1990 MDX8000 Combinator and 1996 EURODESK MX8000 mixer paved the way for expansions into guitar pedals, studio monitors, and boutique recreations of vintage synths. Manufacturing shifted to China in the 1990s, enabling massive scale while maintaining patented innovations.
Behringer occupies the entry-to-mid-tier market, renowned for its "double the features, half the price" ethos that delivers solid performance to hobbyists, live sound pros, and budget-conscious studios. While praised for value and reliability in live and project-studio settings, it faces criticism for build quality shortcuts compared to high-end marques, positioning it as a pragmatic choice for discerning buyers prioritizing accessibility over audiophile prestige.
