Hello,
I am in the market for a new pair of headphones. I don't have the budget for an outboard amp (yet), so I will be limited to something that I can run off my Denon AVR3300's headphone jack, but still want to purchase a quality pair of headphones.
I listen to primarily heavy metal (Alice in Chains, Godsmack, Sevendust, etc), but a lot of "easier listenting" (Sting, Phil Collins, Beatles). I really like the style of headphone that completely encloses the ear.
A couple qustions I have are:
Senn HD600 are something I am closely looking at. Being 300ohms, what does that mean in regards to using an A/V receivers headphone jack?
Some of the Senn's I am looking at are open backed (sorry for an improper terms) rather than a closed style. I currently have a pair old Sony Studio Monitors that are closed in nature and emit very little sound outside the headphone so as not to create an disturbance to people around me. Do open back style headphones like the HD600 do good in this department? I don't want to create too much sound so as to disturb my spouse who might be reading on the couch next to me.
Thank you in advance.
