Headphone Problems

[Gas_Mask_]

Hey, so I'm going to get a pair of Sennheiser HD 518 Headphones.

 

I have an ASUS Crosshair 5 Formula -Z mobo.

 

I was wondering if my mobo would be enough to power them, or if I should get a DAC AMP.

If so, which one would you suggest? ($50-$100)

 

They're 50 ohms, so idk.

 

Thanks for any help!

I wand the 518 for more bass. Just a personal preference. I know the 558 are better and have better highs.

Well, neither of 518, 558 or 598's have much bass so

Sorry but if you're looking for some sick punching bass then these headphones are clearly not for u x)

Try using an equalizer.

 

I personally use EqualizerAPO and the PEACE gui for it. They're both free and open-source.

Then what would be a similar pair, that have more bass?

Well, how much bass are you actually looking for? And what are you gonna use them for? Btw, Im not saying it's a bad heaphone really, It's just not a bassy headphone, you can hear bass but ya won't feel it ;P

The 518 has the most bass of any open headphone in the price range that I know of. If you want more, the Takstar Pro 80 or it's cheaper Q-Pad clone will deliver, but with closed backs.

Well I want open for gaming, but also some bass. For casual listening and travel, I'm going to be using the hd 419, then the hd 518 for my rig.

You won't need an amp for the 518s, I own a pair.
