Does this work well with the AKG Perception 220 without degrading signal quality or losing volume?

It will not be as noiseless as a higher-end pre-amp or A/D interface, nor will it have as much gain as a dedicated pre-amp. It's a more fast-and-dirty solution than a home studio centerpiece. Chose instead a dedicated USB audio interface if you need studio quality, but if you're just doing youtube voiceovers, it'll sound fine.

I'm not sure what you are using the headphones for, but I use AKG 240 headphones as a radio disc jockey. It is important I hear the audio clean and at times loud. I have never needed another amplifier. They are comfortable to wear but they do have their own "sound" so you may need a day to get used to them. I have yet to run into anyone that doesn't prefer them over the headphones they have.

With my Alto, my signal path is mono. I can hear the mix in both ears when I have my headphones plugged into the headphone out Jack. So you won't have a problem

As long as the headset has a "mini XLR" connector, it will work perfectly with this. There is a gain control just underneath the battery cover to control the output signal as well, but I get plenty with it on it's lowest setting with a guitar anyway. Another cool feature is the battery cover can be used as a mini flat head screw driver specifically for adjusting the signal output. Pretty convenient because that way you don't have to bust out an actual screwdriver just to make a small adjustment if you ever need to. One thing to watch though, if you're getting the red "clipping" light on the receiver every time to transmit a signal, turn the output signal all the way down on the transmitter because they come factory up at about 80%. If you still get the red clipping light at the lowest transmitter setting, you may want to exchange it for a different one. I had to do this with my first one because it was just wired too hot from the factory; the replacement I got has worked perfectly ever since! One more thing, keep the output level on the receiver turned all the way up, this has no effect on the clipping, but effects the signal output directly in that you may experience signal loss if you don't have it up all the way. I think they say this in the set up guide that comes with it, but I missed that part until I emailed the technician about my issue with the first unit I had. AKG's technical support is probably the best I've ever dealt with too, I just went to their web site akg.com, went to help, emailed tech support and I had a response from an actual technician within 12 hours. Pretty awesome actually! Hope this helps!

I notice a bit, but it is not so audible as to be a problem. At least for me it isn't. But, as they say, your results may vary. I would guess it would relate to the buds you are using. I use a very good, but not great, set of Sennheisers.

No, Sadly it does not work in that fashion. The sound is amazing and when paired with the correct receiver, your audio comes to life.

Oh yes.....And I do mean oh yes....you will notice a DRAMATIC increase in sound quality.Just remember to go into settings and set the correct impedance...I love my essence stx..I have sennheiser 555hd's and couldn't possibly be happier.Cant imagine cleaner clearer sound...you will not be dissapointed.

I use it with my HE-500 and it is great. I don't get better sound from my headphones using anything else, including my Oppo 105 or my Integra receiver on my home theater.

The volume is dependent upon your device and the stereo. I have had no issues with the volume, and am actually getting higher volume from this device than from a normal headphone cable.

With 3 settings for impedance variations, my guess would be that it'll drive them just fine. I've only run iems & ath-m50x's tho, fwiw.

I don't use devices which allow my making that comparison, however just listening, I'm satisfied. The frequency response seems flat with no noticeable distortion. I don't feel I'm compromising sound for convenience.

Hi. My best response is that it works quite well with our LG Tone Stereo bluetooth headsets. Hope this helps.

Yes. I use Audio Technica M35. You will never get the full room surround sound of course, but the effects produced by the Xonar are very impressive and varied. You do get that 'feel'.

Yes, that is the exact setup I used. I used a standard stereo headphone extension cable and it worked fine.

You can use Beyerdynamics 80ohm DT770s just fine with any Apple products, so these 50ohm ones should work just as well, if not have slightly more volume. An external amplifier is totally not needed. I have a 2i2 as well as a Peavy 10AT and the sound quality is hardly different from direct connection with an iPhone or iMac. The only real difference is you can have a higher max volume, but even an iPhone is 'loud' at minus 1-2 stops from the max volume setting.

I would not advise the AKG for jogging the chord is about 10feet long and could trip you. I am not familiar with those Sennheisers so can't make a judgment on that.

No. It works regardless. If you really want to great sounding headphones, check out Sennheiser RS 170 Digital Wireless Headphone with Dynamic Bass and Surround Sound. I have both of these headphones and the Sennheisers are fantastic.
