You definately want an amp for any headphones with a higher impedance that requires power and pc's, cellpphones, or mp3 players wontpush potential of the headphones becuase its higher impedance. Recommend the the Schiit stack for starters the magi and modi dac and amp.

I have the HD598 and the HD6XX with balanced custom cable and use it with my Schiit Jotenheim dac/amp combo for home listening. Also use the MSR7b with 4.4m balanced with my Fiio X7 Mark II Dap high res player on the go.

Two different completely headphones and if you want to hear all the instruments and a wider open soundstage, then HD58X is your go and then again those headphones are open back used for home listening and paired to a headphone amp. Msr7b is closed back and better for on go and private listening, little bright on the treble but awesome mids and decent bass.

jah_offisah808Thanks for the reply, Should have given more information but however I did already get the hd58x and I,m currently without amp because I didnt had the money but what could I say they just defenitely have better voice tonality than the msr7 ( didnt try the msr7b) by the way did they improve on Bass? The treble was clearly brighter on them and I did kind of like it but the hd58x is a more complete sound for me. Which portable amp/dac would you recommend ? What about the fiio q2 or the soundblaster e5 ?

I normally wouldn't recommend the Audio Technica MSR7 to someone new, but if you've tried them before and like them...well they could be a good choice.
However, I'd really recommend getting at least an amp. Plenty of good options exist at the $100 price point, so an HD58X + Amp would set you back $250 plus tax and give you a good setup. Granted, if it turns out you don't like the Sennheiser sound then the MSR7b could be a better choice, but I do believe that the Sennheiser does a good job of being a good reference set of headphones that has a sound signature that works with a variety of genres.

HD58X, no contest. However, this is unfair to the MSR7 because I'm somewhat treble sensitive.
The DT880 has the traditional Beyerdynamic sparkle and V-shape signature (aka I find it piercing with some recordings). I honestly think the mids are just a bit too sucked out on most Beyerdynamic headphones I've tried. Vocals tend to be very recessed and sound far away. However, I admit my fault is liking mid-centric headphones with recessed treble (a dark/warm tilt if you want to call it that).

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.
