Power requirements vary depending on the headphones. Not all headphones have the same "needs"...Some are lower impedance, others are higher impedance. Some need lots of power, others need very little power. The published operating specs of each type of component are there for you to read.
Once you select a pair of headphones, read all about them in the reviews and the headphone forums. There are certain amp/headphone combos that are reported to work better than others.
And you'll also want the type of sound that suits your personal listening habits and tastes. Some amps have "house" sounds that tend to lean in one direction or the other, tonally.
So, pick your headphones first. Then do some research on the internet forums and reviews and ask some questions too, if you need too.
You might end up going through a few different amps before you find the "right" sound for your listening habits and personal tastes. That is just the way it goes....

- Just as you would have to do with loudspeakers. You have to find a synergistic combo. - peppy m. 13:09:52 11/01/24 (0)
