Hi,
i'm planning to get a new pair of headphones (open back) and my first choice are the AKG K 612...i like AKG sound and the 612 offer some great specs! I'm only affraid that my interface headphone output (36 ohm) is not enough for the headphone impedance (120 ohm).
I dont care so much about the volume but i dont want to loose any detail and/or true translation of the mix (specially on kick&Bass) on the headphones because of this difference....also an headphone amp is out of the question.
So what says you? 36 ohm output are enough for these headphones or i should look somewhere else?
Many thanks

batter then Akg for sure ! and cost nothing
i will put them on Quality next to sennheiser hd800 . and sennheiser cost 1000-1500$
don't forget brother you pay this money only for the name , nothing more !
and yes they good for mixing .
just go to music store and compare them with Akg and you will see

So coming back to this topic....
I didnt get the ones you suggested smoker...i never managed to try them and though i dont doubt your words they appear as "just" solid hi-fi cans in all the forums and reviews i read!
i'm going either for the:
AKG 702 or
Roland RH-A30
I'm running them from my baybaface and have no means to get a dedicated amplifier.
Some say the AKG need an amp to perform to the fullest and that's the only reason why i dont choose them at once.
Anyone has this set of cans running from their interface? Do you think they will perform well straight from the babyface?
I dont care about loud volumes but i want the full clarity, definition this cans are said to have...
I want a pair of open backs so my other choice was the Rolands....lowe impedance and few but great reviews. They are said to be the ATH-M50 open back and less hyped in the lower frequencies.
What says you? Babyface can handle the AKG or better find another option - like the Roland?
