New Head-Fier
I can't figure out if I need to try a different headphone or a different Amp.
The Behringer P2 Amp
Under the stats on the device it says " Max output: 2 x 100mW @ 16 ohms "
Does this mean it is not powerful enough to drive my new Hifimans HE-4XX that require 35 ohms (it has 93 db/mW sensitivity)?
I listen to a lot of classic rock and heavy metal (Pantera, Lamb of God, Devil Driver, System of a Down, Twelve Foot Ninja...)
I've found that the Hifiman HE4XX give really good detail, clarity to vocals, and reduced sharpness/harshness. But I feel like vocals for classic rock are missing that strong intimacy I'm looking for (midnight rider/In the light), and metal screams are lacking guttural impact.
Is there a headphone that can give me what I feel Hifiman is lacking in?
Budget at
$200ish for headphones
$70 for Amp
(edit on budget. Sorry, should have been more clear)
