butlerk02 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I've just taken the plunge and purchased a pair of AKG K701's from Thomann. My question is will my focusrite saffire (http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep05/articles/saffire.htm) be enough to power these headphones, or should I get a seperate headphone amp? Was looking at something like a FiiO E9. Cheers Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Spencer Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Check out the focusrite VRM box. It's a really clever little piece of kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butlerk02 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Cool, Does this not just emulate speakers and rooms though, or will it provide enough juice to power the AKG's?

shizznit Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 [quote name='Alex Spencer' timestamp='1331222335' post='1569761'] Surely you're looking for headphones that will represent the sound well, rather than give a 'better' sound? Personally I'd go for Beyer DT770's. I use them a lot for mixing and general audio work when I can't get to a decent pair of monitors. Pretty popular headphones, BBC use them a lot too.
