new to the headphone world. can I use these with Spotify from my cell phone or no?

evanlaYes, because "Nominal impedance: 35 ohms" should be fine with any mass produced portable consumer device. Android, iPhone, etc. start to be under-powered for phones with impedance of about 64 ohms or more,

Dr_Rodney_McKayDon't forget it's to do with sensitivity and not just impedance....

OstewartYes, and my experience is admittedly limited, but for impedance as low as 35 ohms I think any sensitivity that actual headphones might have will be within a range that's OK for pretty much any cell phone. True? Thanks.

Feb 12, 2018

Dr_Rodney_McKayNot quite true. Not 35 Ohms, but 50 Ohms you have the Fostex T50rp, and the Hifiman HE-500 / HE-6, both of which will not work well out of a phone.
Also there were some limited edition Kinera Earbuds which I have, that are around 32 Ohms, but require quite a bit of power.
General rule of thumb is below 100 Ohms, and over 100dB @1mW you should be fine with a phone.

OstewartThanks, Oste and Dr R.
In your opinion, can you suggest a good setup for me? I listen mostly with my phone or computer. Can I use an amp/headphone combo with a phone or is that dumb? I can probably spend $400 or so on headphones and amp
thanks for your opinions :)

evanlaI'm not that clued up on portable amps at the moment, but the Oppo HA-2SE is great.
If your phone supports USB OTG, then the iFi Audio Nano iDSD is a killer unit, but it only supports USB input.

Ostewartthank you, sir

evanlaThe GMP 8.35d are excellent as a go to portable headphone. Otherwise the Meze 99 Classic are worth looking in to.

OstewartThe Meze surely does deserve high praise, however they are around 2x more expensive than these cans lol.

ArcyThese are more neutral and detailed than the Meze, but the Meze are good too.

A decent set of IEMs

I am in the midst of a 300 hour burn-in but, I will say I am enjoying how this set sounds so far. Before I received these which was btw late by a few weeks, I purchased a Sony/Kimber Kable MMCX...

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?

I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup

Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?

Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here

Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
