POKKETMIXER un-powered 2-in 2-out portable mixer for $34~

You can get it for around $28 plus $6 shipping at Fab.com. You have to add it to the shopping cart and the price drops on the right side of the screen. No coupon needed, but this is a close-out special – no returns (a final sale). Free shipping with a $75+ order.
This has two audio-in inputs, and one audio-out on the back, and one headphone-out (for monitoring) on the front. It was designed for DJs but one could perhaps find uses for headphone experimentation as well.
Not a whole of reviews are available for these, and you have to do some stitching to see them all at Amazon. Five of the colors share the same listing (six reviews) plus four more reviews frin other listings.
