Is there a headphone amp out there that has 2 inputs? I want both inputs to go to the headphones in stereo. I have found an amp w/2 stereo inputs, but I can only choose between one input or the other. Any suggestions?

If you need only one set of headphones, just get a small mixer with 4-8 inputs. If you need multiple sets, then get that plus a headphone amp, and run the outputs of the mixer to this.

I've had my eye on a JamHub Bedroom.

Presonus Monitor Station allows you to select from 3 inputs for main and cue sources. has 4 headphone outputs that can be set to either main or cue inputs. has a built in talkback mic and 3 monitor outputs along with main and cue outputs to connect other headphone amps, if needed.

but mike is right, if you just need 2 inputs and 1 headphone out, get a small mixer with 2 stereo channels.

Thanks all. The problem I was having with other headphone amps is that when I have 2 inputs, the headphone amp sends one to the left headphone channel and one to the right. Or, I have to choose between only one of the inputs.

I went with the Samson C-Que 8 Headphone Amp. With that I am able to mix 2 mono inputs into several headphones so that they come out in stereo (both mono inputs in both ears). I also have stereo sends coming out of Live into the headphones.

I didn't go with a mixer because we already have one, and it was cheaper to go with the headphone amp than a new mixer.

Thanks again!
