Axe Fx II and Headphones

[VC4Ever]

What is the proper Ohm's value to have on a headphone when using the Axe FX II. This is all new to me

Usually the dectron 5w60 is the widest range that will have to be programmed.
This procedure will take more than a few minutes of coding.
Wireless frequences resolutions.

I don't know about all that but I have some Ultrazone Pro 650's and their impedance @ 1khz is 80 ohms and they work pretty good for me. Hope that helps some.

Thanks Lester.

I guess this is the wrong forum to ask questions about the Axe FX. Should just stick to Cameron threads...

I use Sennheiser HD-280 headphones with my AxeFx II and they work great.

I've also used a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M50s, and they worked just as well.


Here's some info from the wiki:

If the loudness of your headphones is too low, switch to lower impedance headphones (such as 32 Ohm) or use a headphone amp.

Yeah, I used the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 cans and they worked. Damn it sounded awful through headphones, though.

If youre able to stretch your budget for the Audeze LCD-2
They're awesome
Just the Best headphones for my axefx 2 I've ever used

(My ath-m50 are collecting dust and used for travelling purpose only )

I don't think the ohms matter much specifically. I've used all sorts when I had an Axe Fx II ... there's no "proper" one, just ones that sound good to you. My Senn HD280s are good for me.
