anyone have an opinion of the sennheiser hd280 pro? i'm also considering the hd650, but wondering if the 280 will do me for just playing the axe-fx through.
inkeyes said:I found the following spec for the audio interface i was planning to plug the head phones into:
Headphone Output (1) 1/4" stereo jack 100 mW per channel at 50 Ohms
Apologies for my ignorance but can some one let me know what sort of impedance range i should stay within when picking some headphones, or should i be looking at getting a headphone amp as well?
yeah, hard to decide which to get without trying them - no chance of that, I'll have to pick something & buy blind. Like the way the closed back shield outside noise, but the open ones are supposed to be more accurate or whatever :S Never really used top quality headphones before, this is all new to me.AndrewSimon said:hideous said:sorry for thread hijack, but staying on topic![]()

HD280PRO is closed back, 65 Ohm , very high SPL (it's very loud)
kinda like the Sony MDR-V6/600/700/900 ... but probably better and more comfortable
then the Sony.
It's a good headphone but it's not an HD600.
Don't you have a Fry's Electronics or something else where you can test all these headphones side by side?
This way you get a feeling for different designs and makes.
You need to make some decisions.... first thing:
Do you want an open back or closed back headphones?
Big difference between the two!

Those HD650 better be damn good for the moneyI'm sure they are, but reluctant to spend that on a pair of headphones. Seems a bit extortionate to me.
