[quote name='charic' post='1063214' date='Dec 19 2010, 08:25 AM']The headphone out on my rh450 sounds a little fuzzy. I know the headphones are fine (and I've tried a few pairs) has anyone else experienced this? It's the first time I've tested it and It's a tad annoying[/quote]

Headphones should be 40 - 600 ohms.

A headphone amp would be overkill and probably more expensive than another pair of headphones. A resistor in series with your existing headphones would fix it as the power level is only a few hundred milliwatts. I'd suggest you borrow a higher impedance pair or try the resistor before you spend any money.

Thanks for the info, don't really want to replace the headphones as they are an xmas prezzie from the gf (wireless) these are the headphones in question

I was thinking something like this might have fixed the problem:

or using the di

If you're using wireless headphones, then the 32 ohm impedance is not a problem as your amp is not driving them directly anyway. I couldn't find the specs but I'd guess the input to the base unit is pretty high - 10Kohm or thereabouts.

Low batteries in the base or in the headphones could cause distortion. Do you get distorted sound with wired headphones?

The mixer and DI you linked to are for use with wired headphones.

Hmmm, is the cable ok?[/quote]

Brand new pair of headphones and also tried with some in-ears, I've tried it with the gain right down (or as far down as realistically possible) and tried it with the tubetone right down. Also tried the headphones with other things with no probs.

If you meant the cable from the bass it's fine, the same one I always use.

This only leaves room for an amp fault. Is your amp under waranty? Take it to the store you bought it.
If not you can open it up and see if any humidity had acumulated around the headphone jack out area. Could also be some resistor/capacitor/etc. problem or simply a bad solder... too many variables...
