How well would this power headphones that are 55 Ohms?

I have a pair of AKG 240S headphones(55 Ohms) running off these,they'll be able to power them I usually keep the dial between 2-5 out of 8, they make the 240S's sound wonderful.

I'm afraid I can't say exactly how that particular Sennheiser will sound, and it doesn't really make sense to ask. But, it is the best headphone amp for the money, probably for 3 Times the money, and there is nothing odd about the ohm rating of the Sennheiser, so it's worth the purchase.

As long as they are 8 ohms and 90db efficiency or better. Don't expect ear-splitting volume, but should sound very lush!

They work fine. The impedance is 32 ohms or something. That's supposed to work okay with standard modern headphone jacks (like on a portable digital music player or laptop)

It should. I typically wouldn't use a headphone Amp until 65 Ohm or greater.

I have a samsung tablet and a pair of beyerdynamic dt770s which run at 250ohms. The amp is needed to drive them and it more than does the job. Totally different with them at such a cheap price. Actual sound is comparable to systems costing 5 to 10 times as much.

it's an excellent choice, especially for smaller desks/laptop use. I use mine exclusively with this set-up. for its size, the device is fairly powerful to drive higher-ohm headphones.

Yep, it has a headphone amp that can power even 600ohm headphones! So you'll be set with a 250ohm. That's part of what makes these so cool..the ability to power higher-end headphones.

They might seem just a little bit quieter at the same volume as you 2 ohms. But they should work fine.

I have a pioneer 75 watts pushing them and they sound okay. 165 watts would prob sound nice.

Hi, sorry can't help as I don't have experience with this devices. Anyway you ordered outstanding headphones, top class for sure, I used with a good DAC and a Magny amplifier and really are one of my prefered headphones (well, I keep the 250ohm version as I almost never use portable devices for music). Hope you likes the Beyers. Leo.

According to the specifications in the manual, the output impedance on each channel is 51 Ohms. So it won't be matched very well, which means you will have suboptimal power transfer, but I would expect that it will still drive the headphones. It just may not be as loud as you need. It is preposterously loud with my 64 Ohm headphones, for what it's worth.

could be whoever advertised the headphone wasn't paying attention its more likely to be the 32 ohm like in the description. i use the dt990 250 ohm powered off the schiit magni 2 (Recomended) otherwise the 32 ohm version is a nice option for more compatibility with e.g. a smartphone, although these headphones are a bit too nice to take on the go.

Short answer to that question, is HELL YEAH. This amp should be able to push your headphones to their max potential, I looked up your headphones and they're rated at 32ohms impedance, I run a pair of Sony MDR X10 that are rated at 24 ohms, so mine have a slightly less load than your headset will put on the amplifier and mine are very loud with this amp. The amp is rated up to 100 ohms on the highest gain setting, so I think it should be more than sufficient to push your headphones closer to their intended limits, almost 2 times better than your iPod or equivalent listening device can manage. Do it! I wanna see your review when you've tried it. P.S. if you like to listen loud for a long time the battery in the amp won't last very long, I haven't timed it, but on high volume levels I might have gotten closer to an hour before getting the low battery light, Its a blast though. Good luck...

I have the 250 ohms as I drive them with a headphone amplifierso in short it depends what you plug them into ie Iphone which doesn`t have enough power to drivethe 250 ohms.For example "The 32 ohm model is a good option for those who wish to use this headphone while they are mobile or paired with devices such as laptops, iPods, MP3 players, tablets, etc"

1000-1500 RMS stable at 2 ohms is what I would go with. Stick with a good mane brand that advertises there power in RMS

They sound great at medium volume, but will distort at full volumn, 250 watts
