Hi im looking to get the dt 900 prox and an amp. Im really new to this so could u please tell me firstly is there significant difference in sound between 2 amps for example the schiit hel2 and fiio k3 for headphones with 48ohm impedance, if so what could be the difference?. Secondly could you tell me if using UAC 1 instead of 2 will worsen the audio? - i mainly care bout gaming. Thanks

There definitely can be a difference between the sounds coming out of amps. My H6PRO sounds warmer on the GSX 1000, and brighter on the Schitt Hel 2. I’m not a sound engineer so I can’t answer your question about the UAC1.

I know I’m really late but which Y splitter cable are you using for microphone audio? I also have the seinheizer hd650’s and the schit hel 2 the headphones audio is great but I can’t get the microphone to work

You could buy HyperX 7.1 Surround Sound Card. I got this from HyperX Cloud 2 headset and now I plug all my headset to this even my wireless headsets through 3.5mm cable. Really great sound. I have one of those small DAC/AMP and I tried with PS5. It sounds great but I feel sound stage is quite wide compare to HyperX. HyperX 7.1 sound is like small/medium kind of stage sound that little bit more detail and close footsteps sound. I was going to get Steelseries Nova 7X or Astro A50X but I am extremely happy with this sound combo with HyperX sound card

Question, I have Hel 2 with H6pro (closed) connected to ps5…have you tried both USB and Optical, which connection gives the better sound? Of course optical will use a hdmi audio extractor. I tried both…gaming for about a week straight on usb and week or so on optical…to me went back to usb by mistake and I thought I was getting a better sound image. Example…CoD MW2 …someone upstairs sounded like he was upstairs…I have always thought optical would sound better. What’s your take?

@District.24

The H6PRO on the PS5 doesn’t require an amp. It’s only 32 ohms and you won’t get any better sound signature from it that way. The H6PRO is a bright headset, and the Hel 2 would make it brighter. The GSX 1000 will make it darker. I have an audio extractor, but I’ve never used it on my PS5 with the H6PRO. I think what you’re doing there is overkill. Just plug it into your controller and enjoy.

When you plug it into the PS5 sound will pass through it, so yes it technically works, but the sound will not be its best. You’ll need an amp to draw out the best quality sound. People often buy headphones with higher impedance because they offer the nicest sound when supplied with sufficient power (amping). But you need that amp.

Impedance is a headphone’s resistance to electrical current - measured in ohms. 32 and lower ohms devices are paired with devices that have built in amps - consoles and motherboards. Higher ohm devices require external amps. General speaking, devices with higher impedance and adequate amplification will produce a more desirable sound. But not for some people, because as I said earlier: sound is subjective.

At the end of the day, regardless of how expensive the headset is, the user must enjoy the sound it produces for it to be worth owning.
