Here is what NwAvGuy wrote:
« ONE SIZE FITS NEARLY ALL: There are a lot of headphone amps that work well with some headphones but not others. This is especially true for portable amps most of which can’t even drive AKG K701’s properly let alone most of the planar cans. Others have output impedance issues, too much noise for BA IEMs, etc. Rather than take the typical expensive overkill approach, I put on my engineer’s hat and took an objective app...

hmm thanks a lot bro for the suggestions. Im still a bit leaning towards R70x because of the high ohms and my sound card supports up to 600, but other than that 7XX has much better sensitivity at 105db. Im not too sure what it does though, but my sound card offers i think 119 db, so not sure if it matters which headphones got better sensitivity. Also R70x appears to have better freq response too at 5 - 40,000 Hz . But as you said, these headpho...

Is this amp overkill for the AKG K7XX? I dont think the power is too much (maybe a bit on the low end actually?), but quality wise, are they an ok pair?
edit: I am running an at-lp120 with a Shure cartridge and the silly pre-amp torn out, replaced with a cambridge audio 540p pre-amp wired straight to the tone arm with a ground brought out from the chassis. None of the parts are fancy on their own, I am wondering if it is overkill to get a headpho...

I need some advice:
The combination of the relativity cheap price and being a planar headphone (which I have never heard) gets me interested to buy these.
Currently, I use AKG K530 LTD which are falling apart after some years of daily usage.
I will listen music on spotify mostly with the headphones, gaming not so much. Music: Pop/Rock/RnB, some electronic music.
I want to spend around 200€.
Which of these headphones is similar in sound to the AKG I ha...

Get the AKG K553 or the older 550. I researched headphones for 3 weeks on reddit, head-fi etc. Trust me XD. Metal571 on youtube describes them as being the ultimate office headphone. I got the 550 and then the 553 . They have the same drivers. the only difference is in the tuning, the 553 are fixed from a slight rining edge, and have more correctly filled out mid bass. They simply excel for the price. Metal571 finds it difficult to recommend anyt...

MY bass is great in mine what did you drive them with? I just have a 02 Dac/amp and a Micca origen + and the bass was great off both those cheap amp/dac combos. Did you play them with the caps on i heard that can make them sound bad but i used mine always open and they sound great. Well i like them better than my fostex mark 3's, My sennheiser 598s My Akg K712pros, And the Mx 50s i had.
Zreviews has a sound test up on his channel as well peop...
