Nothing compares to speakers......I never reached for any pair of headphones I owned while gaming. If you have the ability to use speakers, use speakers.

Name me a pair of IEMs that you think sounds better than the HD6XX

***Price: <$300 :D Thanks for recommending. I am looking for something that has better detail retrieval, sounds faster and livelier.

Thanks for recommending! I'd definitely check them out. I am now using an o2, which should be more than enough.

Audiophile•Questions

I was looking at the O2 amplifier (not on Massdrop though) and was wondering if I'm using my lgv40 as the source do I need a DAC AMP or will a regular amp better since my phone's output bitrate is 32 bit whereas the DAC AMP is 24 bit also I'm gonna plug it into my wall in my apartment here in the US so 110 volts adapter or 220 volts adapter ? Also since I will be using the 6XX by Massdrop and Sennhiser what gain option should I choose for them 1 and 3..... 1 and 4..... Etc.

Please read the question

With the v40 I daresay you wouldn't need an amp with the HD58X. Not sure about the 6XX which I do not possess
