About this deal

If you’re planning to use a cheap splitter with expensive headphones, the audio quality will be negatively affected, which makes spending on high-end headphones useless. We recommend investing in a higher-quality headphone splitter for better sound quality and durability. Warranty The imaging is excellent, and when paired with the amazingly accurate sound of the crisp highs and smooth yet punchy bass frequencies, you get an utmost enjoyable listening experience. The price of this focus is that working intensely leads to mental fatigue. This comes on top of ear fatigue, which is cited by nearly everyone I spoke with as a negative of headphone mixing. When working on headphones it is vital that you take regular breaks to help mitigate this and stay as aurally objective as possible. Fatigue is also tied to the level of physical comfort when wearing headphones; how well a set of headphones fits is incredibly important, because you should enjoy using them. This is obviously subjective, and isn't always related to the price of the headphones. Ryan McCambridge.Ryan McCambridge: "How well a set of headphones fits is incredibly important, because you should enjoy using them. This... isn't always related to the price. Whatever Works Try the same with studio headphones with 300 Ω impedance and you’ll only supply about 0.7 mW of power. Therein lies the problem that makes an amp the solution. Can I Over Power My Headphones & Damage Them?

Pressure from the bass frequencies can cause low-end frequencies to build up close to your ear, resulting in an exaggerated bass response.Connect the audio interface’s output to the headphone amplifier’s input, then plug your headphones into the output of the amp. You should always put the amplifier on after your audio interface in your audio workflow. Why use a headphone amp? Imagine a scenario where the bassist wants more bass volume because he can’t hear himself well yet (it’s unmixed!). More volume isn’t helping. She or he can waltz themselves right over to the amp and equalize their own input to add more bass or slurp out some treble. On top of all that, each channel has volume meters right on the front. The DT 990 PROs have a very pleasant sound with a brilliant, rich bass, clear mids, and soaring highs. Like the SP-5s, the DT 990s also give off a three-dimensional sound, accurately reproducing all the details of each instrument in a wide spatial image. They also have a very wide frequency response range of 5 Hz to 35 kHz. Going for a cheap splitter usually means getting sub-par audio quality since most don’t have gold plating on the connectors or double-shielded cable. Both of these things are important to ensure electric signal conduction.

They have strong neodymium ferrite magnet which helps to drive the speaker unit. They are very responsive and create a good soundscape with a rich definition. The Behringer HA8000 V2 8-Channel High-Power Headphones Mixing & Distribution Amplifier features two independent stereo main inputs and a dedicated direct input on each channel, and has routing and mixing functions to accommodate the most discerning set of ears. Best used as a headphone mixer when optimized for multiple listeners, each with their own specific requirements for studio and stage applications.

Features

Regardless of anyone's workflow, it's difficult to disregard the reality that the vast majority of music is now consumed on headphones. There is no consensus on whether that should change how we monitor or approach mixing, but the relationship between consumers and their music has undeniably changed. There is a cautionary tale deeply tied to this: "If you're going to listen on headphones or in-ears, the objective has to be maintained that you're listening to the big picture," Michael says empathetically. With so much added detail heard on headphones, and a new "hyper-focus", the biggest concern should be keeping perspective and seeing the forest for the trees. This headphone amp is extraordinarily simple; it has the most straightforward design covered in this article. The DragonFly Cobalt features an onboard ESS ES9038Q2MDAC chip with a native resolution of 24-bit/96khz. The amp includes a slow roll-off filter for improved natural sound quality. Because the Cobalt is a USB amp, you can easily connect it to a computer or laptop. However, for other purposes, it may require you to get a USB adapter to use.

The way you know you aren’t getting enough power is if the headphones can’t get loud enough even at maximum volume and they start distorting at the peaks well before that. It’s a symptom of being under-powered. So to extract the top audio quality out of the amazing headphones you have you’ll have to get a bigger amp. As a Studio Engineer In addition, the cable on this splitter is double-shielded for better durability and noise-free audio. It has gold-plating on the connectors, which ensures minimum signal degradation when using multiple headphones. Furthermore, Syncwire also offers a 3-year warranty – which says a lot about their confidence. This amp’s ability to provide audio to multiple pairs of headphones makes it ideal for group listening or for passionate audio enthusiasts who enjoy switching between several pairs of headphones. It will also prove useful to those with home recording studios. The wood and metal combination prevents any harsh frequencies as well as any ringing and harmonic distortion. The PS2000e minimizes coloration of the signal to accurately display the details in your audio. The PS2000e was made with all of the finest materials, from the speaker chassis to the voice coil and magnets. The SRH1840s have detailed highs, rich bass, clear midrange, and are overall very accurate, and could easily replace studio monitors thanks to the neodymium drivers. They are ideal for monitoring and critical listening as well. The SRH1840s have a wide frequency response, starting at 10 Hz and ending at 30 kHz, which is ample room for mastering.It’s tempting to get into how silly that is, especially since you can’t find much honest information about headphone amps online. But that would make this post be another addition to the nonsense. The ear cups are made out of high-density, heat sensitive memory foam ear cups and coated in microfiber, and the headphones sport a silicone lined headband that conforms to your head to provide the ultimate comfortable listening experience when in the studio for long periods of time. If any provision of this EULA is held by a competent authority to be illegal, invalid, void or unenforceable under the laws of any jurisdiction, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law. Michael Brauer sees headphones as a tool to help illuminate potential issues in a mix, like edits and excessive sibilance. Others agree, and there's also a consensus around the perception of effects. "I seem to hear my effects more with the headphones," Tchad says, "and I like the 'close' sound of headphones sometimes." They serve up clear sound with their 50mm speaker units driven by neodymium magnets which are tuned to a wide response. This allows them to give crisp vocal definition and powerfully distinguish dynamics in a mix, reproducing them with a high degree of fidelity to the electrical input.

I include the PreSonus HP4at the start of this section for two reasons: PreSonus doesn’t make shoddy gear and there needs to be one “lowest-I-would-go” recommendation. If you’re constrained by your budget and just have to have something to boost the headphones for a four piece band, this is it.While size and volume isn’t the whole story, it does serve to illustrate the point. Headphone amplifiers are designed to supply enough voltage to power headphones that need it. There are more headphones, even in the professional studio world, that don’t need it than do. Make sure that you don’t add anything that’s modulated with a chorus or flanger, since that could cause the musician to search for the pitch. If necessary, just give them a mono instrument feed without the chorus. This licence shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Subject to Allen & Heath being entitled to enforce the terms of this EULA in any court or jurisdiction that it sees fit, any dispute arising from or related to this EULA shall be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. Where You use the Software outside of England and Wales, the local law may impose greater restrictions on You that You must comply with. Now that you know what factors to consider when getting a headphone splitter, let’s go through our recommendations for the best product for different categories. The fundamental reason that headphones can be used as a reliable means of monitoring is best summed up in a short sentence from Michael Brauer (Coldplay, Rolling Stones, John Mayer): "It doesn't matter as long as it's a reference that you trust." In other words, the impediments of mixing on headphones are not so much a consequence of the tool itself but rather a matter of adaptation.
