[QUOTE="gavinbirss, post: 1013325, member: 60"] Headphone listening being highly personal and subjective could make finding good synergy more elusive that with loudspeaker setup's. Some find the experience problematic coming from speakers where room acoustics and being able to hear either speaker with either ear is possible. Having cross-feed can simulate the speaker listening experience. Comfort(for long sessions) and dynamics being the other hindrances. The need for a dedicated headphone amplifier is going to become apparent if you choose a difficult to drive or power hungry pair of headphones. Decide on how much you are willing to spend and start by choosing a good pair of comfortable headphones and do some research on if they work better with a particular dedicated amplifier. Do not overlook the source component. [/QUOTE]
