Just purchased a second hand T-X0 locally. This headphones appear to be very hard to drive. The sound coming out from the headphones is very quiet compare to my AKG M220 pro.
I am using a generic USB external sound card to drive this headphones.
I purchased an used Sound Blaster E1 on EBay. Creative claims that this portable USB DAC headphone amp supports headphones with impedances of up to 600 ohms so we'll see when it arrives.
On the comfort side, it is a lot more comfortable than the AKG M220 pro.
---------------------------------------- Updated on January 21st 2018 I just received my Sound Blaster E1 thru mail today. What a night and day difference from the generic USB external sound card. It is sufficient to drive the T-X0 with no issue. I am very happy with it so far. ----------------------------------------

gzllIt is considered as semi-open so that is a fair amount of sound leak at least I can hear the sound from the headphones when I put them down.
I have not worn them in the public and not intending to. The intend of these headphones are for my home office only. Beside this headphones are actually fairly big and probably would move around when you are in motion. Regardless I do enjoy this headphones a lot.

beyonddcyes they are very inefficient and need a decent amp/dac combo to drive properly. Otherwise you won't know what they are capable of.

beyonddcGet a decent dac/amp combo instead of a sound card. You can get one for cheaper/same price that will sound and perform much better when it comes to driving headphones. Micca Origin or Fiio E10k are good starter cheap options.

OleDaneBoyI got the Sound Blaster E1 very cheap on EBay. I did joined the Aune X1S drop couple days ago so I should be expecting a much better dac/amp arriving in the coming month. Thanks for your advice.
