Q? Why would an amp be required? It operates on waves, and the interference of waves. So, no amp, as in jimi Hendrix feedback. Headphones, to mixer?

I think that is a great question, but I couldn't tell you. It seems it should work in theory. I never thought of it that way. I hope you get an answer, because now I want to know also.

Amp is not required. Something is wrong with your volume some how. We like this drum machine and have no problems.

That depends. It will probably be loud enough without an amp. But would you spend this much money for headphones unless sound quality was important to you? Uncompressed audio (or at least CDs) instead of MP3 and a fairly good to very good amp will improve the sound. Fiio, Schiit (yes that really is the name and it's made in the USA), Yulong, Matrix, Denon, Oppo, SMSL and other companies make amps in the $55 to $400 range. A DAC (built-in to the amp or separate) might also improve the sound.

No. You need an external tool for that like a karaoke machine or a pc to hook into your amp. (which you also need if you don't have, these are just speakers.)I see these kind of questions a lot, and I'm surprised no one really tries to make more casual audio gear. Seems like there's a market for it and it'd be nice to get some new faces into the discussions other than the crazy audiophiles who want to compare 1100 dollar speakers to 90 dollar ones

Hey - this is true. You can get an adapter for less than 1, though. The amp is really made for higher-end studio headphones which usually use jacks, but you can still get the adapter. Be sure to get a stereo one.

They are pretty low impedance headphones and will work without amping, but you will lose out on Alot of the sound. You get a much more full bodied sound with an amp.

No, this is a component that needs to be connected to a receiver, amplifier or a mixer. You can use your headphones but there isn't an amplifier built in.

You need a mixing board to connect to an amplifier. A very few amps have a mike connection where you can plug a mike directly into an amp and I have a DVD player that has 2 mike connections. Ordinarily you need a mixing board to plug one or more mikes into an amp. The mixing board I have is a Behringer 1202FX which is an excellent compact mixer and it connects to an amp with either a stereo RCA cable or stereo 1/4" plugs/cable using an auxillary or any analog line input.

No, the only inputs are for guitars/instruments in Channel 1, guitars/instruments/microphone (phantom power is supplied) in Channel 2, and stereo effects loop. There is also no headphone output jack. The amp does sound great, has a wide range of tonality and effects (yes, great for acoustic guitar), and is extremely light.

You can go straight to a guitar amp or mixing board. Sounds great but probably won't work for very long.Mine died after 3 or four months.

It needs to be powered somehow. If the equipment you're using has a headphone jack, you should be all set. If studio use, you'll need a way to feed the mix to the headphones; usually with a headphone amp. It depends on what you're using it with.

Yes you can use a headphone on this mixer. Like Matt said, just plug a 1/4 inch jack in (or use adapters) on your headphones. You can use monitor out or speaker out. I don't know why Sean S says you can't so I am wondering if he might have a different mixer. But this mixer was made for speakers and it sounds best that way in my humble opinion.

An amp head such as this one requires a cabinet. You could use headphones as an option, but you still may need to have a cabinet to ensure that there is a proper load on the amplifier.

You will need an amp. Unfortunately a regular mp3 or anything that simply plays music will not generate enough watts to properly power the headphones. You can still use the headphones without an amp, but they will be seriously underpowered. To the point sound will be a whisper no matter how loud you turn up the volume.

its basically a mixer, no power to speak of, you get a preamp when using the xlr input and the corresponding input thats below it. you need either an amp or powered speakers, Im using some cheap though nice sounding altec lansing monitors. Im going for small, large amps are a pain to carry around!

You won't need an amp, but it would definitely make a difference. I am a basshead and I purchased a cheap FiiO amp and it did wonders to the bass. On my HTC One, I downloaded an EQ App and it had a similar effect. So if you don't have an AMP, try a free EQ - it can make a huge difference.
