Sennheiser HD 380Pro with portable player (Cowon C2)

Hey you all,

 

As my topic states is Cowon C2 capable of driving these phones without an amp? I've read some great reviews about these phones but never got the chance testing them out. I listen to all kind of music like jazz, blues, rock, pop and R&B. If not capable, what other over-head closed headphones in the same price range would you recommend?

 

Note: I like good quality heavy bass. Clear mids and highs but not harsh sounding.

 

Appreciate all feedback.

Massive bass and clear forward mids? That's two different headphones you're talking about, not the one.

 

If you're a basshead then you're better off getting a dedicated basshead headphone and something

more natural and bass light when you're in the mood.

Probably yes, the HD380 has very good sensitivity, and does not require much power.

It does not have heavy bass. The bass extends low, but on average the frequency response is neutral (which is not surprising given the intended purpose of the HD380).

 

P.S.: here is a frequency response / sound pressure at 1Vrms graph of this headphone. I do not know if it is reliable, but the only review I have read seems to generally agree with the graph.

Better to check out hps around 35 ohms, try the GMP 8.35, or the M-50.
