Who listens to music with their Axe-Fx?

One thing that's blown me away with the III is the quality of the DAC and headphone amplifier. This thing drives my Sennheiser HD-650s better than anything else I've tried, and often get swept away for hours just listening.

One could easily spend the same amount on a headphone amp/dac that won't sound as good.

Anyone else use theirs for headphone listening? Which headphones do you use?

Agreed, I also have hd650 and 800, superb thru the III

When I’m using it as an audio interface and want to play something I do, but it’s not my always on interface.

I can’t say I hear a difference either, BUT, I’m usually listening to YouTube, mp3’s Etc, so probably the weak link in the chain lol
 
Agreed !!

because i am limited to Volume scenario`s ,(wife) etc.,I spend much of the time with my BOSE ,, or IEM`s on.
 
All the time for rehearsing after 9PM or listening but I also use it with a FiiO E17K ALPEN 2 DAC/Amp listening with JH Audio Roxannes or Oppo PM-3's.
 
There are 300B tube amplifiers, both for headphones and for speakers, in the $100,000 ~ $500,000 range.

Insert a Tube Pre amp block, select the 300B as power tube and VOILA! the value of your Axe-FX is skyrocketing even more.
 
I avoid listening through the headphone out on the axefx iii.

...

Because it sounds better than my other headphone outs/amps. Occasionally I plug directly in with a cable and use the headphone outs. I wish that I could always hear it that way but I have other monitoring needs that make it impossible.
