Trying to get a decent sound through headphones

Quote from Sarasin

I'm using Sony MDR 7506 which are pretty decent headphones. I am wondering what everyone else is using that sounds good with the Kemper?

Audio Technica ATH-M50X and Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro. Both awesome headphones.

I use Focal Spirit Professionals, which have a pleasing and supposedly relatively flat response.

However, I also use KRK KNS-8400, which are a bit lifted in the higher frequencies. I think the "truth" lies somewhere between these two paris of headphones.So I will go through profiles with both sets, with the latter ensuring the profiles are use are not too harsh ro strident. Usually I play with the focals, but only profiles I have checked with the KRKs.

I got the Sennheiser HD 25 too,
working and sounding great, specially with MBritt Profiles,
these work excellent on HP, some other need way more tweaking
for the use with HP

A man of taste. I Like!

Many are swayed by reviews and what they see in charts and spec sheets, but not I. I "took-home-auditioned" a crapload of HPs around 2000 (the year, not the number of 'phones!) and spent a few months testing them for flatness of response, power, punch and naturalness, and as I've said here on the forum before, these puppies absolutely cleaned up / wiped the floor with the competition. No contest in the end, and they were several hundred cheaper than many of the rivals.

Careful you don't blow your head off with the Kemper man; as you'd know the lack of detectible distortion, smoothness and naturalness of the 'phones allow you to crank way past where you know you should...

I don't have professional audiophile headphones. I own a Razer Kraken gaming headset and use them with the Kemper. Not too shabby, though I prefer to play over and audition on my studio monitors.

Hey no worries mate.

Yeah nightlight, any half-decent set should sound great on the Kemper 'cause it's got, IMHO, a very good headphone amp.
