how to amplify home theater headphones?

Bijan

I just bought a Sony "MDR-DS7500" Home Theater Headphone system that I would like to amplify for the sound that it produces right now out of the box turned all the way up on the knob has poor low volume and I would like to change that. If any knows how to go about this and any way I am all ear and would very much appreciate it. Thank You!

Answer
Headphones can be amplified by headphone amps. Fiio is extremely popular for their affordable models, but don't get me wrong, they have some good quality models as well, check out the e9 for example. Turtle Beach has a good DAC called Earforce DSS, it amplifies audio and has bass boost as well as Dolby Digital processing.

Headphone crackling issue?

Emmett

I have a pair of audiotechnica ath m-50 studio moniter headphones, there hooked up to an art four channel amp. When i use the phones on my computer with itunes, i can hear a very very slight but noticable crackle, im not sure if its the musics production method or what. I'am usually pretty sensitive to sound production, maybe even an audiophile but im wondering if this is normal or something is wrong with the phones. They are pretty new, maybe a few months and i have never turned them up past half way on the amp, i would like to but, restrain just out of worry for the phones it would be good to know if i can turn them up more too.

Answer
Are you using your computer's headphone output?? If so, I wouldn't be at all surprised if you're hearing noise...

You could always test the headphones - if they sound clean when directly connected to an iPod or a cd player then they're good....

If the problem is your computer then you might have to get a USB DAC to sit between computer and amp...
