Will this drive 150 ohm headphones?

I'm afraid I'm don't know much about these things other that we really like it and love the fact that my husband and I can adjust our own sound level. We use two head sets that indicate 2 x 56 OHMS. So I guess that's a total of 224 OHMS. Hope that answers your question.

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.

i use it with emptek 55ti and their 6 ohm and its awesome,i just wouldnt use it in monoblock mode with 6 ohm speakers.

what about speakers with 150-watt maximum input power? I'm a novice at this stuff

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.

It will but dont expect much, it says 1600 watts but its only running one 30 amp fuse... so the power isnt good, so maybe getting 500-800 watts, if that. Try a hifonics amp, good clean power for people on a budget or audiopipe amps. Good luck

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.

They work fine. The impedance is 32 ohms or something. That's supposed to work okay with standard modern headphone jacks (like on a portable digital music player or laptop)

Short answer to that question, is HELL YEAH. This amp should be able to push your headphones to their max potential, I looked up your headphones and they're rated at 32ohms impedance, I run a pair of Sony MDR X10 that are rated at 24 ohms, so mine have a slightly less load than your headset will put on the amplifier and mine are very loud with this amp. The amp is rated up to 100 ohms on the highest gain setting, so I think it should be more than sufficient to push your headphones closer to their intended limits, almost 2 times better than your iPod or equivalent listening device can manage. Do it! I wanna see your review when you've tried it. P.S. if you like to listen loud for a long time the battery in the amp won't last very long, I haven't timed it, but on high volume levels I might have gotten closer to an hour before getting the low battery light, Its a blast though. Good luck...

Yes-- I used it for headphones and the volume is set very low. It should drive speakers very well. The sound quality is very good with no hum or hiss background noise.

Charging might be ok, but transmitting probably will not work. If you read reviews of the RS 180 headphones on Amazon, you will see customers complain that they cannot transmit to their 180 headphones from the 170 base. I'm not sure that the same issue would happen between the 120/130 models... I would contact Sennheiser.

It will do better than the standard headphone out on your computer or smartphone but I don't think it's designed to drive high impedance headphones. Having said that, I have no actual experience.

My grandson uses it with his Beats Earphones and loves the sound. I don't know the the specifications on Beats, but audiophiles give this amp high ratings. Works with headphones from 30-300ohms.

The marketing mumbo jumbo that John quotes sounds nice but is false when it says "features the ability to properly drive the widest variety of headphone types, regardless of impedance or sensitivity". It will not "properly" drive all headphone types. In fact I think it is under-powered for any headphones over 50 ohms impedance. I tested it with my apple ear buds and half volume is about as loud as I would want to go but with my 50 ohm headphones I have the volume maxed out and wish I could go higher. So the honest truth is that they really skimped on the headphone amplifier on this product. The best review I have found on this product is from Don Disbennett at hometheaterhifi and he talks about this as well from his testing with HD598 headphones. The companion amplifier, PM6005, has a great headphone amplifier section that can drive any headphones however.

Not the 250 ohm. If you want to use them with a phone, I'd suggest the 32 Ohm version; get the Limited Edition if you can find them, they are nice. But if you are using a phone as your primary source, and want something on par SQ wise and more portable, check out the Sennheiser HD25 or Amperior. Both are more easily driven, and more portable too, with a similar V-shaped response to the DT770. Their sound is less spacious, but I prefer them to the DT770 when both are driven by my Nexus 4 (same chipset as your optimus G).

It will work, but I couldn't find the output impedance so I don't know how well it will work. I use mine with an HT Omega eClaro which has an output impedance of 8 ohms. I notice a difference between these with 50ohms resistance compared to my beyer 900 pros which are 250ohms.

I cAn imagine that it will be a nice match: I have Sennheiser HD800 (300 Ohm) and they simple belong together with Valhalla.

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.
