HyperX Cloud (Question)

[Guest]

Personally, I don't like my audio processed, just like my meat.

I despise processed foods as well.

I guess sensitivity doesn't matter anymore.

 

Time to connect my 250 ohmage headphones to a 1000W loudspeaker amp.

Is that sarcasm?

As far as I know, that's why it sounds worse on my iPad than straight from my motherboard. If you have a different reason, I'm genuinely curious.

I have no way of knowing what "worse" means in this situation, or what the specifications of either piece of hardware are. It could be due to any number of reasons.

When I turn up the volume, it's noticeable more likely to sound weak and strained on anything but my motherboard, so I assumed it's the impedance, since that's the main difference between that and my other headphones, which sound the same everywhere.

Many motherboards could run it, but remember it has 40ohm impedance drivers.

I thought the Clouds have 60 ohms...

It takes a whopping 2mW and 0.3V to reach 100dB so I really couldn't guess. If it sounds bad then it sounds bad, but sensitivity is still what matters.

Not sure, but I've read that that's the case.

Could be your imagination as well.

I'm no audiophile, but I definitely can notice that they almost sound weak unless they're plugged into my motherboard. I haven't tried any other high-quality audio solutions or DACs.

 

Maybe just accept my opinion?

Weak, or just not loud enough?

Weak; highs and lows sound less pronounced.

iDevice amps aren't known for altering frequency response, and roll-off isn't what happens when a headphone is under-powered.
