Use HA43 pro with a TV audio out (3.5 mm) which is too low in volume with my (2) Sony earphones? They are 16 ohm. They have 3.5 mm plugs

Not being an audiophile, I don't have a clue even what your question is. My husband and I both have hearing problems but we need different volumes to watch TV. This gizmo has four plug-ins, each with independent volume controls, so it works for us.

Absolutely yes you can, just be aware of the audio level of the tv and the amplifier, if you were to put both to high audio levels and plug in your headphones you could easily blow them out. Gradually find the level that you are comfortable listening to. Also make sure you have a 6.5mm plug or rca to 3.5mm connector that you can use an to connect to the amplifier.

Hi carlitas99, this Sony headphones has an increased impedance on the headphones in which it will try to eliminate volume issues. Even that volume from an audio source will be increased, it will always go to safe level of listening. -Ely

Yes, the amp has 2 3.5mm jacks and this will probably work pretty well. Only thing might be distance, as in the cord might not be long enough. You can buy extension cords but I'm not sure if you're amplifying it from the TV or through the treadmill or something. Basically here's the set-up: source -(3.5 mm) -> Fiio - (3.5 mm) -> headphones. If that will work for you, this will probably boost the volume. It does have a power limit though, but it should produce gain.

I don't own these (just looking at getting them), but I assume that it's because of the 4-conductor on these (extra conductor for the mic). The socket at the gym is made for 3-conductor (ground, left channel, and right channel), i.e. just audio. If you plugged these in and they didn't work, you need to test them to make sure they didn't short and blow something out.

It depends on the type of earphone you have. If you have low impedance (resistance) phones which most of the affordable ones are you will be o. k. some higher resistance = higher priced may work but maybe not as loud as you want. Also computers and laptops differ in output strength. But go for it as it is affordable and the sound is immaculate.

The PRO's are coiled so they can stretch quite a bit, but then they start pulling. I would get an extender from mono price if the length is too short. They're two channel only. They don't simulate anything... only a 3rd party software simulates that stuff. Battlefield 3 and 4 sounds amazing in them. You can hear *everything*. Use a quality DAC/Amp to power these. A good base-line would be the Schitt Audio Magni / Modi stack.

Most headphones used with portable electronics are low impedance, around 32 ohms. The lower ohms make it easier for the amp to drive them. Headphones range in impedance from 16 ohms to 600 ohms. There can be some significant advantages to higher impedance headphones. A higher impedance allows for more turns of wire to be used in the voice coil of the driver. This can result in a better "motor system" with fewer compromises resulting in better overall sound. Higher impedance headphones also require less current to drive and that typically reduces distortion in multiple ways. The amplifiers driving headphone nearly always produce lower distortion into higher impedances. The difference between 24 ohm and 32 ohm is quite negligible. The "24 ohm" is somewhat of an odd number in terms of ohms as typically, you will find 16 and then 32. You shouldn't have any problem using the 24 ohm but you will likely get a better response from headphones rated at higher ohms. You don't state the type of headphones. If you have headphones designed for portable consumer use that have an impedance of 80 ohms or less, it's very likely the manufacture designed them to be driven directly from a typical device like an iPod. Using an amp or DAC with such headphones usually won't improve their sound much, and might even make them sound worse or create other problems like excess noise and channel balance issues. This is especially true if your headphones already get loud enough for your tastes. Generally, 16 - 32 ohm headphones with a sensitivity rating of at least 100 dB/mW do not need an amplifier.

Hi John, These didn't work at all. Would not stay in. I have small ears, and figured cut them. Still no luck. Plus, I could still hear the T.V., and it was on a very low volume. NG for me.

Its a 2.5mm one. Try to get a converter [3.5mm female 2.5mm male adapter converter] for using your regular headphones.

Not sure exactly how big your Hifimans are. I am using an Audeze LCD-X and the cables, which are attached beneath the cups fit, but I have to be careful to not bend the cables. However, I have a large head and the headband setting is one below max. I would compare your headphone size to mine, and if comparable, you should be ok.

I don't know. I live alone, set the TV volume to about midway, and the volume control on the 'phones about 1/4 up. Plenty loud. but these won't be able to shatter your ear drums. The curious thing is: at modest volume the Bass is just absolutely excellent! Not overwhelming but no peaks of low frequency resonance. I don't know how they do it.

on my sony tv when i plug in my earphones, the only sound i nget is from the earphones, so it depends on what set you have.tootsierollman

Quite frankly, they work really well for me, but as my ex who was a nurse told me, you are asian, and you have really large ear channels... there fore they fit, people with smaller ear channels have a more difficult time getting them to fit comfortably... I would chop the larger flange off, to get them deeper into my ear... They do really well as noise blocking ear plugs.

The 8 ohm speakers work fine (this is my second set), but they need an amplifier (driver) to make them work. You would have to check the technical manufacturers sheet that came with your TV to see if it what the power requirements are for external speakers. I'm using a Pioneer Elite amp and I can set the volume level of individuals speakers (surround sound)....but most TVs only have one set of external speaker jacks and it doesn't really solve your problem. You may want to check with Best Buy or some other store with someone who can discuss the specifics of your TV.

The hole is very small, you should better check Mikros thread in head-fi forum. Some people change cable with some small 3.5 mm jack

I would say no. The comments I've read (on head-fi) say that to get decent output out of high-impedance cans you'll have to use something more powerful. If going the vacuum route, that might be the Schiit Lyr or Asgard 2. I am using my Valhalla with 32 ohm headphones so can't comment on how it sounds with 600 ohm headphones connected.
