Best Cheap High Impedance Headphones

The main feature is that you CAN hear outside voices and noises - which is why you WOULD buy this headphone.� Excellent sound.� Highs very crisp.� Mid range is is clear as any others.� Bass needs an amp. These high impedance headphones need an amp to really get the bass to PUNCH.� Any one who tells you otherwise is blowing smoke up your (you know what).� This applies to ALL high impedance headphones out there that DO NOT not have an amp.� All fellow EEs out there please chime in on this!� � There are a plethora of amps out there but if you are a project person try this one.� Bass Bump headphone amp - YouTube.� You get what to need at a low price - but need to know how to use a soldering iron and a few other tools.

I always wanted to try open back headphones, and these happened to be the cheapest that had decent specs. While it may not sound like my friends pair of Beyerdynamic DT990, it does provide very good sound! The frequency response is clean and flat, it doesn't boost anything, I can hear everything from the bass drum to the high-hat with these headphones. The stereo separation is phenomenal, I can hear things pan right to left like never before, it sounds more complete and dynamic now. These headphones cost me less than $20! And even came with a 1/4th inch stereo adapter. The impedance (32 Ohms) and the fact that it's open-back makes it a bit of a double edge sword. On the one hand, the high impedance helps block out whatever distortion is coming out of the headphone jack, and the open-back nature adds more depth to the sound stage, on the other hand, BOTH of these factors means that the headphones will be quieter and thus the volume has to be raised accordingly. That can be problematic when you try using this on a low output device, like a phone or computer. If need be, I can use a headphone amp. One last thing to mention about the open backs of these headphones, sound leaks. You can hear the outside world, and conversely the rest of the would can hear what you're listing to, so these are pretty far from noise cancelling, These are all things to consider. I love these headphone! And maybe you will too!

We have a high end A/V receiver with only one headphone jack, and two sets of headphes with different impedance levels. Using a passive splitter resulted in one set of headphones being much louder than the other. This amp is the perfect solution. Small (important in an apartment), does the job with no perceptable difference in audio quality, and way less expensive than comparable units. I also like that the output jacks are in front. Makes connecting and disconnecting headphones easy. We mainly use the unit for home theater after our little one has gone to bed, so we can enjoy movies and TV without waking her. The only negative, and this is purely subjective, is that I'd prefer knobs to sliders, but it's a minor quibble. Highly recommended.

Best and cheap!

Best headphones I own.

Hook this up to a pair of Yamaha 777 speaker ($ cheap). Use bi wiring with low impedance setting on amp. Spin vinyl in pure direct mode. May get a Yamaha subwoofer to match piano black finish.

Best pair of headphones I have ever had. Very high quality. Protective case is a really nice touch. Love the companion app. Atmospheric adjustment is great when traveling. I have sat in the window seat adjacent to the turbine of an airplane with noise cancelling enabled with zero leak/issues. Battery life and charging time is just ridiculously good—usb-c too! Sony really nailed this one. :)

An amazingly versatile microphone. Works with high or low impedance systems. Works by either push to talk or lift to talk. Also has a lock-on switch for long announcements. It has an extra set of contacts to mute music or close a relay. Priced way below the competition.

I love this thing! I needed a way to keep several output devices plugged into my production computer, some high impedance, some low, some with 1/4" pins, some with 1/8". This piece is sturdily constructed and compact, has all the controls I need in front, and doesn't color the output. It is a great device for a fair price. Get it.

After trying several cheaper high impedance shotgun mics I finally got the MKE-600 and do not regret it for a moment. It sends a stronger signal that is clean and has a wonderful tone for voice recording. This is the perfect mic for independent productions and ups our game without breaking the bank. B&H shipped it extra fast and the price was comparable to a certain large online seller.
