Arcos 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 Looking for comments on this set of cans and wondering if a normal portable player can drive them? The impedence is 300 and yet it is under portable section Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 (edited) It has the same impedance of HD600 on that basis alone, a portable player will not be able to drive the cans to its full potential. Edited October 15, 2003 by Mackie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Absolute0 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 IIRC, Duncan mentioned that without noise cancelling, it sounds like the PX200. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're surprisingly efficient when the noise cancelling is switched on - its a mini amp They can be driven fairly well with a 2mw amp, and to VERY loud levels with a 10mw old school sony CD player... With NC off, they're not bad - but they're nothing exceptional, just on a similar level to Koss KSC35 - but with NC on... way better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can power them well with 2nw (for normal ears) and they're deafening at 10mw (with NC on, they're less efficient with it off) - so i'd say most definetly!

Arcos 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 hows the bass compared to the px200? Not sure to get px250 or shure e2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 Bass it tight, and punchy - and cleaner than that of the PX200, when using the noise cancelling... but, with it switched off, its too close to call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
