magni 2 uber can drive it, you are gonna need at least 700 mW at 50 ohms, check the amp's power ratings.

What would I look for @ 32 and 64 ohms, as those are usually the ones reported.

 

[Sam21]

at the headphones impedance, 50 ohms.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind.

But that only in case, you have back vents closed. If you do modding and you leave them open, jack sealing doesn't have that influence anymore of course. But for sake of 100% balanced air compression, i still recommend sealing the jack, but is not necessary like in case with sealed cups.

Zeos said that the Shure 1840 pads and the Hybrid pads both work as replacements. The HM5 velours might work, no idea. Going to order mine next week.

in the studio what do they drive these on?
 
i have to get it up to 300 - 600 ohm, and still it could go a little further to get a little extra for a satisfactory volume

AFAIK, and I looked in multiple forums, IRC channels and IRC communities it appears that they aren't available on any Shure reseller/partner in Europe that sells them. I personally checked all the resellers/partners mentioned on Shure's site in the UK, Germany and Spain and I couldn't find any that had it so I guess the only way would be to import them from the US website or Amazon.
 
I ended up settling for buying the Brainwavz hybrid pads from amazon.co.uk since they're readily available, come from a reliable source and are much cheaper and easier to obtain. If you want a link straight to the pads click here.

How does it sound with Brainwavz Hybrid ?

How does it sound with Brainwavz Hybrid ? 

 
I don't have the Fostex or the pads yet. The Fostex are scheduled for delivery some time today, though I haven't received a phone call yet, and the hybrid pads are also on their way but they should arrive only next week the earliest. If I get the Fostex today I can tell you how they sound with the Fischer Audio Velour pads, the leather ones and the default ones, but as of yet I can't give an opinion.
 
Note: The Fischer Audio Velour and Leather pads should be very similar or identical to the Brainwavz ones, as Brainwavz licensed the HM5 design from Fischer Audio.

do any of you, experience crackling sounds on higher volumes?

is it probably because my gear, doesnt produce enough of power?

does any of you get some bad clipping or such, or any mistreated sound, even with good gear?



anyone recommending a tube amp? or is it too much of a hassle?

are there any really good audiophile amplifiers for speakers rca, and headphones that can be bought around 250 euro's(or a bit more)?

I think that if you didn't have enough power you'd experience low volume, not crackling sounds.

 

[nlse]

have you got any, bass not reproducing well, or the drivers diaphragma not handling a decent amount of volume, that most headphones, normally can reproduce?
 
as it says about 92 db/mW with 3000 mW

 

[peter123]

How would I know if an amp will be able to drive these boys?

This site is great: https://www.audiobot9000.com/
