Hi!

I am looking for a low impedance headphone that works well out of the Fiio m9 (unbalanced):

Output power 1 ≥125mW(16Ω / THD+N<1%) Output impedance <2Ω
Output power 2 ≥170mW(32Ω /THD+N<1%) THD+N <0.002%(1kHz/32Ω)
Output power 3 ≥19mW(300Ω / THD+N<1%) Separation >72dB
Frequency response 5Hz~80 kHz(-3dB) Peak output voltage 6.5Vp-p
SNR ≥118dB (A-weighted) Noise floor <5uV

Currently I have the Dt880 600ohms+Atom Amp, which i love, but I need something that I can carry around the house. I could always get the 80ohms version, but would prefer something better.

For now, I am almost set on the HiFiman Sundara, they seem to work well out of daps, but expensive. I didn't want to go over the 150€/200€, but I can sell the dt880 and go up to the 359€

Thanks!

Thank you! will try to find them. They are very different? If the Sundara are so much better, i prefer to sell my dt880 and pay 359€ for them :)

I wouldn't use a 93dB/1mW headphone with a lower output DAP. Or any DAP really. Even if the response is flatter I'd just listen to it sitting down plugged into a good amp than move around increasing ambient noise and putting little power into them, unless they're closed backs at least but not the case with this one.
