Well my headphone amp does what I want and without anything negative that I can tell. I'm using only the little basic model as well and not the rack headphone amp they make. So a 500 times better headphone amp isn't really going to matter to me. May be you got a faulty behringer headphone amp or something.
My use for most of my behringer gear is practical. Why do I need to spend considerably more money on gear that is not crucially important or that only need to get the job done? A headphone amp for crying out loud, well all I need this for is to allow more than one person to listen to the monitor mix clearly. Behringer head phone amp did/does this for me.
Oh and another decent behringer product the fcb1010. Great unit and at a half the price of the roland, and you can update the eprom to do all kind of extra functionality. I might sell mine though as what the hell do I need it for?

@Guitar Builder
can you verify Harley's claims that the Smartgate is a De-Esser/Noise Gate, with a compression?
and if it is does this mean the MXR Smartgate which is the same circuit is also a De-Esser/Noise Gate, with a compression? Curious to know.
