    Need help buying headphones as a gift

    First post - sorry if this is in the wrong place! I know absolutely nothing about music/sound/audio, but I'm looking to buy some headphones as a birthday gift for my partner, he mentioned liking the dt990s at one point so I was going to get those. They would be used for recording and mixing...

    Can I use a 220 ohm adapter instead of a 120 ohm adapter for DT-831s?

    I've read many places that a "120 ohm adapter" seriously improves the sound of the Beyerdynamic DT-831 + a headphone amp such as my Creek OBH-11. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble finding a "120 ohm adapter", however, there is a "220 ohm adapter" available for cheap from Amazon. If this would...

    I need help navigating the IEM market.

    I need help navigating the IEM market. I've never used IEMs, and the only "audiophile" gear I've ever owned is a Phillips Fidelio X2. (It's ehh, pinches my head and being open the audio experience seems very inconsistent.) As for what I want out of the sound. I mostly listening to the...

    High Impedance Adapter or MMCX Cable in the UK?

    Hi folks, hope you're all doing well. I have a question especially for thos who live in the UK. I'm looking to purchase a high impedance mmcx cable or 3.5mm male to 3.5mm female adapter for my LG V30 (ideally 75ohm or over). I can't seem to find any in the UK. Am I being a dumb or there is...

    DT-770 (250 Ohm) with Xonar DGX?

    Hi, figured this might be the better sub-forum to post in. I just purchased the DT-770 250 ohm set yesterday, and I also have the ASUS Xonar DGX sound card installed in my computer. I LOVE the way they sound, certainly a step or two above my ATH-M50x, but I'm not sure I'm getting the best...

    What impedance headphones for "16 Ω or more" AVR?

    I need headphones for use with a Yamaha RX-V681 AVR. When I bought my last set of "real" headphones, the choices were limited to what Allied Radio Shack, Lafayette Electronics, or a couple furniture stores that also sold stereo systems had. I wound up with very tight fitting Koss headphones...

    Sennheiser HD6XX on a Macbook pro.

    Just bought the Sennheiser HD6XX. I'm not an audiophile but I was expecting that a 300 Ohm headphone would not sound that good from a laptop. To my surprise, they sound great. I was thinking though of buying an amp for these (Schiit Magni 3) as I didn't expect my laptop to be able to drive them...

    Looking for a good amplifier

    Hey! I would like some recommendations on what headphone amp I should buy. Headphones it will power: HiFiMAN HE4XX Beyerdynamic DT770 Verum 1 Future purchases might include Sennheiser HD600/HD650 or more planars like Sundara. Features it needs: Low output impedance, less than 2ohm, preferably...

    Different impedance in headphones: how and why??

    So I was shopping for a pair of headphones, when in the reviews of a certain pair I read "There are variants to the 990 that come as low as 32 ohm and as high as 600 ohm". Now I know only this one company makes the same model in different impedance. But I've never considered impedance as a...

    How do I know if my headphones are damaged from high bass volume?

    Hello there, I just have a quick question, I own the Sennheiser HD 579 and a Creative Soundblaster Z internal soundcard, I just played this (got halfway through, just once): At 100% volume but with -6dB on Preamp, the bass was actually amazing for an open back, I also got great sub bass, but...

    Evaluating Potential Setup, Solid State Pre-Amps, buffers, XLR Cable Length

    Hi everyone, I am in the process of completing my audio chain setup. I've recently purchased a pair of Genelec 8040B studio monitors a few months ago and recently decided to upgrade my basic audio interface to a well regarded DAC. I've purchased the denafrips ARES DAC which is on the way and...

    Question :- Do powerful headphone amps still need some volume... ?

    ... to work their magic on higher impedance headphones? Case in point, I use a FiiO A5 to feed my Sennheiser HD700 with 150 Ohm impedance. I usually have the volume pot @ 1/4 the way around to get about ~70 dBr which is comfortable listening volume. However if I increase the volume pot to...

    Reduce hizzing/static noise with impedance adapter?

    I bought a new phone, the Xiaomi mi a1, and it has a built-in amp with 10V. I also have the Sennheiser IE80, with an impedance of 16 Ohm. The problem is that whenever I use those two with each other, a very annoying hizzing/static noise is to hear. The same with other headphones with low...

    Does an ipod classic's amp output vary depending on headphone impedance?

    Hello! I have a great sounding pair of Klipsch earphones that have a strange quirk, namely that they don't seem to get recognized by any device as being high impedance, not my old LG V20 phone nor my PC. Thus they end up not being amped up properly and sound terrible which is a shame. I found a...

    Effect of headphone impedance on sound quality

    Let's say a headphone has high impedance such as 100 ohm. So, when it's used with mobile devices instead of computer what will be the difference in sound quality? Will the sound will be just low in volume or bass, mid range and treble will be affected?

    Can sound blaster zx, with an 600 ohms headphone output damage my HD 600 with 300 ohms

    I've bought creative sound blaster zx today, as I was going through the creative's website, I read in the details for sound blaster ZxR, that with that card you have an option to choose for headphone output impedance between 250/300 and 600 ohms, and there was a warning message there saying...

    Is the Massdrop O2/ODAC good?

    Some time ago, i bought PSB M4U 1's which sound great, but i was looking to get a bit more out of them. I did some research saw the O2/ODAC on Massdrop. Would this be good for low-impedance headphones like the PSB's and in the future, something like the Sennheiser HD650's? And also, on Massdrop...

    Beyerdynamic DT990 250 Ohm VS 32 Ohm in Sound Quality

    I have a small dilemma. I will most likely be purchasing a Focusrite Saffire 6 soon in order to have an interface that I can track guitars and MIDI into from my desk at university. However I read some calculations that suggest a MAXIMUM of 240 Ohm cans for this amp. If I was to purchase the 32...
