Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Headphone output

[nyrizzie]

I have a shure srh440 headphones and just bought the 2i2 yesterday. I feel the output is definitely loud enough

I have AKG K240s and *sometimes* I feel it's not *quite* enough, but that's probably after a 6-8 hour session and the accompanying ear fatigue.

The newer 60 ohm phones, not the old 600 ohm

Either way, those at 32 should get all the juice they need from the 2i2 (only once or twice have I turned it all the way up, and I may have been working with quiet source material, or some daw funkiness, etc. I've had it for I think almost 6 months now? I don't remember when they came out!)

Waht is normal number of heaphone output wattage for each ear? mW/each. I cannot find about this. Somebody says 30mW/each is quite for me, somebody 50mW/each quite for me. I cannot find normal degree. My second questions is:

2i2 and Samson SR850 are good choise for budget musicians? I hear 2i2`s preamps and conveters are good for thie price. But not excellent like RME. I know but am i beginner. Are they enough for me. I plan buy Samson C01 or Audio Technica 2020 mic.

K240s is 55 ohm. It is not quite for you because 2i2 headphone output in 50 ohm load 30mW/each. In 55 ohm it decreeses. But SRH is about 44 ohm. Samson SR850 is 32 ohm.

I use 2i2 with sennheiser HD 25-C II (70 Ohm), sounds is good for me.
Level control of 50-100% depending on the volume of the source material. Sometimes, if the sound is very thick at full level, is the lack power from the laptop usb.

Definitely enough for me.
I use either the Audio Technica ATH-M40fs, which are rated at 60ohms,
or a pair of isolated headphones for drumming, rated at 35ohms.

Both give out enough sound to hurt my ears.

I cannot understand why some people says it is not enough with 32 0hm headphone too ??? They are stupid or ??? OK. This comments comforts me. Thank you. I go to buy 2i2 from ebay. Another questions.

Is there somebody using Samson SR850 headphones? I want some comments about it?

I find the output really quiet.... what ohm headphones should I go with? Right now I'm using Sennheiser HD280 cans.

I wish I could get just a bit more volume.... any recommendations for comfortable cans under $150?

Thanks!

I am planning to buy Samson SR850 it is 32 ohm. But HD 280 is 64 ohm.
