is is going to push a 600ohm headphone?

600 ohms is listed as the max output for the amp. I use a 250 ohm headphone set and I listen to the amp on low gain (it has a high /low switch on the side of the amp) and don't turn it up nearly all the way. I am sure that it will push a 600 ohm set. But whether or not there will be any distortion to the music is another matter.

According to the specifications in the manual, the output impedance on each channel is 51 Ohms. So it won't be matched very well, which means you will have suboptimal power transfer, but I would expect that it will still drive the headphones. It just may not be as loud as you need. It is preposterously loud with my 64 Ohm headphones, for what it's worth.

For the most part no because most motherboards nowadays van drive up 80ohm headsets. Anything 100 and above may require a amp/DAC or a nice sound card that can drive them. Check your motherboard first if anything else. I run a gigabyte ud3h 2013, idk specifics, but it runs them fine. I later bought a sound card though so I can drive the bass up.

So the resistance (Ohms of the headphones) tells you how easy it is to drive the speakers (produce sound). A higher ohms indicates that it is harder to drive the speakers; that being said that higher ohms means that the sound quality is better because there is less garbling of the signal. 30 ohms is standard and is appropriate for basically anything (mp3 players included) the 80 ohm can work with mp3 players but should have a amplifier, the 250 basically is useless without a good amp... if you want to get an amplifier I recommend the Fiio E11 portable amp (approximately 70 USD). Even if you get the 30 ohms DT 770 I am sure you will like it; I recommend getting an amp and higher "ohmage" if you want your music to sound just a bit nicer

Nope-not without a separate amplifier fed from the low level headphone jack

Hi, this unit sounds amazing with my Sennheiser HD250 headphones, which are also rated at 300 ohms.It is an amazing piece of gear.

Not really. I run a 60 ohm pair & have to have the volume at max to enjoy the cans. 600 ohm cans would not give you much volume at all

Thanks for your question. The headphone out will drive up to 600 ohm studio phones. This is a fantastic sounding amplifier. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud NAD dealer.

could be whoever advertised the headphone wasn't paying attention its more likely to be the 32 ohm like in the description. i use the dt990 250 ohm powered off the schiit magni 2 (Recomended) otherwise the 32 ohm version is a nice option for more compatibility with e.g. a smartphone, although these headphones are a bit too nice to take on the go.

The HD 600 has both standard and mini size connecters. Sometimes I use the HD600 with my portable Sansa music player, but I always use a small headphone amp when doing so to improve volume range as this Sennheiser model is not a high efficiency headphone.

I don't have a 600 ohm HP. My HD800 is 300 ohms and the TEAC drives it more than fine while having plenty of volume left. Gluck.

I am using Philips X1, which is 30 Ohms. It has more than enough power for my taste. I'm not sure if a 250 Ohm headphone would work, without an amp.

Ipods and iphones use a 1/8 inch jack. Some headphones are terminated in a 1/8 inch jack, and some are terminated in a 1/4 inch jack. The HD600 I had was an older version that had an 1/8" jack, and for that you don't need an adapter. If you have a 1/4" jack, then you can get a 1/4 to 1/8 inch adapter, which are commonly available on amazon or radioshack or anywhere. The other issues is that an iphone or ipod really doesn't have the necessary power to drive the HD600. I would suggest taking a look at the HD598 instead. But, if you're dead set on the HD600, then you can get one, just be mindful that you may need to get a headphone amp for it, and that out of an iphone it may not be the best value for dollar headphone you can get. The HD600 is really made for professional and stationary desktop systems, with a high-quality source and a headphone amp of some sort, or at least an integrated receiver. That's where it really shines. On the other hand, it's one of a handful of headphones under $1k that I would whole-handedly recommend. The headphone hobby has really gone to the dogs, and there are lots of overpriced, under-performing headphones out there on the market. But, the HD600 is not one of them, and it's one of the best value for dollar deals out there - the others being the Koss ESP950 and Stax SR-207, if you're building a stationary, desktop-based system, and Sennheiser HD598 and Momentum if you're building a portable-based system. On that note - if isolation is important, the Sennheiser Momentum is worth a good look. While not as good as the HD600 in terms of absolute fidelity, it's a quality closed headphone and is easy to drive by just about anything.

This product is a line level preamp; it CANNOT drive low impedance (wired) headphones. Wireless headphones (e.g. the transmitter) can be connected, but doing this will probably NOT make them louder (since their maximum clean output is determined by the battery-powered amplifier contained in the headphone themselves...).

it sounds tiny because it is 150 ohms so it needs an amp to push it but the pc 360 are 50 ohm and dont need an amp ... jus look for a headset with 50 or less ohms and u wont need an amp

In a simple answer, no it won't. Mine was less power than needed for two budget coax 6 inch door speakers. To get any thump look for the higher powered name brands, in either single channel, or dual channels you can bridge. 2ohms will take a good bit of power to get decent bass. I bought this same rated amp 20 years ago, and it made two 6x9's sound good, and loud. No way I would buy this one again, and I wish I had never bought it. Come to find out it has the same power as the 15-20 year old alpine in my dash, so there was almost NO change in loudness.

Of course. Just know that the headphone out is only a 3.5mm port, so you'll either need a 3.5mm to 1/4" cable or an adapter.
