cruisinon2 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 This has been debated before, and others are bound to disagree, but I really don't think it matters one way or the other. Despite the official specs calling for higher impedance cans, I use a pair of AKG 240S @ 55 ohms. They sound great, they're only ~$100, and the wire which is always the first thing to crap out on any pair of headphones, is replaceable for a few bucks. As long as you don't crank the volume so high that they start to smoke, they should last essentially forever...but there are lots of nice headphones out there, and as long as you get a pair with a fairly flat response, it should be fine.

silverhead Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I use both the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro and a set of low impedance phones. The Beyerdynamic are far superior IMHO, although the low impedance phones also perform well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchguitarist Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I use the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro also and I agree, superior headphone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arislaf Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 So guys what is best? 880 pro, 770 pro of 80 ohm, 770 pro of 250 ohm or the 990 pro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazzy Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Those Beyerdynamics are really nice. I use Bose AE Headphones a lot, they're like my beaters. I think the Ohmage on them is 32-35 or so. They work great for me. I also have 1 set of Beyers 990 open back in the high ohm range and like them too. I even use the "Ear Candy" ear plugs sometimes, man those sound great too, lol. It's amazing how far headphones and ear plugs have come. I was just "Fun Playing" using the Bose AE's. Here's the results Edited December 4, 2015 by Brazzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
