I need advice on what set of headphones will work best as a mobile practice rig using the Phil Jones BigHead Pro HA-2 headphone amp (300 mW, impedance 16-64 ohms). I set out to replace my aging Vox Amplug Bass and found what I thought were second hand gems in the portable practice rig market. -...

Hello, A proud owner of a pair of AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition headphones here. So far I've been running my Annies with an Objective 2 as according to many, it should be more than good enough. However, some people claim that the headphones would perform even better if fed more, so I wonder...

What do you guys think about this topic? We know that the general consensus is that planar magnetic headphones are considered superior to dynamic headphones, but what about when you have a CLOSED-back planar magnetic vs. OPEN-back dynamic headphones?! Planars are generally open-back, but now...

Hi, everyone it's my first time writing on this forum. I'm a beginner who's trying to learn mixing/mastering by myself but the current headphone that I use doesn't give me a good picture of how my music actually sounds like. I'm looking for the most neutral sounding headphones that wouldn't...

Hello! I wanted to ask a clarification about the receiver that I'm using, a Pioneer SA-540. My question is, could it be able to drive my AKG K702s (62 ohms, 91 dB/mW), or is it better for me to stick to a dedicated amp? I attached an image taken from the receiver's manual where the output...

I've been using Sennheiser Game Ones with a Sound Blaster Z sound card. Prior to that, I was using AKG K702 with a Schitt Magni 2 and the Sound Blaster Z, but my AKGs crapped out. I just can't make sense of the audio in this game with my Sennheisers. I find it difficult to pinpoint footstep and...

Hi, I'm planning to buy a pair of AKG K702 and was looking forward an amp to pair it with. I already own a Fiio X1, and my idea was to buy a Fiio A3 (60 euros) and using it on its line output. Is it enough to drive the k702 properly?

Hi, I am having really hard time deciding between these cans. I listen mainly Classical Rock/Metal but the things is that these cans will be used mainly for gaming so large soundstage and accurate positional audio is a priority for me. I also do not own any amp so these will be plugged...

Recently, I bought my first pair of good headphones, the AKG K702s, they're great and my HTC 10 runs them properly thanks to the 24 bit dac it has, but when I'm at the office I don't want to get distracted by my phone and the built in headphone jack on my old macbook ran the cans poorly, also...
