Powering 250Ω Headphones With Motherboard?

[RektSkrubz]

I am going to get a pair of DT 770's (250Ω), and my motherboard says its built in amplifier can do a max of 600Ω. Will this be good enough, or am I missing something?

Thanks!

The board has an integrated headphone amplifier so it should be fine with those headphones.

Yes it will be fine, Ohms = load so the higher the ohms the more power is need to push them. Since your motherboard will handle up to a 600ohm headphone your DT 770's will be just fine.

Thanks! Besides the 770s, are there any other closed back, high quality circumaural headphones under 200 that are pretty good, if not better?

Personally I like Sennheiser brand headphones. Shure is another top brand.

For headphone gaming I use a set of Shure 750DJ and for speakers Yamaha HS5

My only problem with Sennheiser is that the only affordable closed back headphone kinda sucks...

The closed back HD 598s are getting good reviews but I'd stick to open back Sennheisers. I have HD 598s, HD 600s and HD 650s. My next pair will be planar magnetic. Probably the Monoprice 1060s. The M560s are right in your price range.

Thanks for the suggestion, the wooden aethstetics look cool, I'm just not a total audio snob yet (that I plan to be) with 10 pairs of headphones. I can't even tell the difference between my HyperX Cloud IIs and Klipsch R6i's...

I have some old S4i Reference ear buds that I closed in the bed of my truck and broke the volume controls on. They still sound great though. I replaced them with AS5i's and they are more rugged but they don't sound as good.

I only wear them to work out or cut grass so I wasn't looking for amazement just something that sounds decent.

I love Klipsch speakers and have RF 82 IIs but their headphones don't measure up like their speakers do.
