Shopping for some new headphones

Wingfan

Just bought an amp but my Sennheiser's cant handle it. These will be strictly for music, very very loud music. 

Budget is $100 range

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

A mixture of music really, but metal with good bass mostly.

What type of headphones are you looking for?

 

In ear?

Over ear?

On ear?

Your headphone can't handle it? Do you mean you blew your headphone's driver?

What's the amp and the headphone first? Ofc you will always be able to hear yourself talk, it came out from your vibrating vocal cord.

You sure it's not because the amp got not enough juice to drive the headphone to a very loud level? Most headphones can go very loud, just need the proper juice.

Amp was cheap so wouldnt be a big loss if i didnt like.

I know ill always feel voice vibration, but its more than that at times

wouldnt you think onboard audio would be able to tho?

Most of the time it would, and it should. On some cases, the onboard might not have the proper juice. It's case per case, since there are various onboards in the market.

Perhaps they bragged about the quality, not the quantity. 

 

Same like the VIA onboard I have. The quality is superb, very clean and nice sound, but can't go loud enough for my headphone. 

 

What I'm saying is make sure you're addressing the right problem. Is it really the headphone/set's fault?

That should be what you're focusing at the moment then, determining the spot of the problem. After it's been identified, then look for solutions afterward, not before (it's identified).

He has the same issue with a low ohm set.

 

I would check your sound driver configuration or your media player and turn off any volume limiters/balancing like "Logarithmic Volume" etc.
