Connecting Headphones

[louyseiz]

Hey -How do you guys connect headphones to your AX8?
I found this Y adapter but not sure how to look for something similar on Amazon US.

Cheapest solution I found:

This cable:

And this amp:

But, a little more but super fancy is to use a Zoom H5. The benefit is that you also get a portable recorder

Why not just plug the headphones straight into the AX8 - no amps required

Depends a lot on your headphone impedance. Mine sounds really muffle when I do that (I have Audio-Technica ATH-M50X).
The AMP will convert the signal to the proper level to drive the headphones better.
But, doesn't hurt to try If it sounds good...

True - maybe the AX8 V2 will have a Headphone Out then this subject can go away - now there's a rumour

YES, the part you speced:TS to Stereo works excellently with Sony MDR7506 or Sennheiser HD 180 I use. It sounds the same direct from the AX8 Out as monitoring from the headphones out on the DAW interface.
