About us:
“Birth”
Music Bliss came about in June of 2009, residing in a humble shop lot catering to music lessons and sales of instruments. As humble as it was, Music Bliss quickly grew to expand its range of products at a point in time where boutique products such as guitar effects pedals were on the rise.

“Bliss”
As the name implies, Music Bliss truly aims to consistently provide excitement with our choice of products. It didn’t take long for people and musicians to notice that, and thanks to the age of the Internet people began frequenting both our site and our physical store at a quick pace.

“Insistence”
We’re people pleasers, we don’t settle for less and we don’t do this just because “It’s Our Job”. Music Bliss has always insisted to recommend and obtain products that the people want. That is exactly how the store grew; from obtaining rare and boutique effects pedals for musicians to catering to pro audio systems for international schools and event companies.

“Rise”
Fast forward to 2019, Music Bliss has expanded to a Mega Showroom (Located in Petaling Utama, amidst of Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya, nearby Sunway and easily accessible through Old Klang Road as well as Puchong) with 3 separate floors for every product category. Because of the support of our loyal customers, Music Bliss now proudly has everything you’ll need: Guitars, Amps, Keyboards, Drums, Digital Pianos Studio Recording Equipment, Live Sound Equipment, Jamming Studios and an assortment of accessories to compliment your instruments and equipment.

FYI; you definetly don't need an amp for the 80 Ohms version. I've had those for more than 10 years and used them in phones, laptops, Roland drums, recording interfaces, guitar pedalboards, planes, etc... I usually turn on the volume at 60% and that's good enough for me.

This saved me a lot of time in terms of trying to figure out what headphone impedance is good for what. Thank you for this video!

Please note, that the materials used for the pads makes a lot of difference with the sound. And: Leather and velour can be interchanged. Also the driver design, materials, open or closed back builds as well as other factors can make a huge impact on the quality you get. High impedance headphones don’t automatically sound better.

Thanks for the video. What I find disappointing about these types of videos is there is a lot of talk centered around the power requirements vs impedance. But I have not really found a video that goes into the benefits/issues with choosing each of the impedances. Impedance is simply the resistance of an AC electrical signal. Resistance, on the other hand, is used to describe resistance to DC voltages. Kind of the same, but not totally. When circuits are designed, they are designed to support a specific impedance. It is important to match the impedances of your output device and your receiving device i.e. speakers or headphones, in this case. A mismatch of impedances will result in reflected waves and will cause distortion and less power getting to the speaker or headphone. So why don't they design all equipment to match lower impedance speakers/headphones making it easier to drive them. Well just like everything there are engineering tradeoffs. Low impedance circuits are cheaper to make but and are nosier than high impedance circuits which cost more and produce lower noise levels. Lower end consumer equipment is not designed as robustly as professional equipment (read overall quality) and thusly support lower impedance headphones. Very high end audio equipment is designed with low noise more expensive components (read overall higher quality) and at higher impedance levels for the lower noise. So bottom line is can most of tell the difference? Well maybe? It depends on degree. Modern consumer equipment is still very good. It comes down to matching the earphones to the equipment you have. So yes, indirectly that is about power as the ability to drive a device, in this case headphones, is directly related to matching the impedances of the output circuits to the speakers/headphones. Needed power is related to the matching of ouput to device impedances. If they match, you will get maximum power transfer. If they don't match you will not. Therefore it may seem as if you just need more power to drive a mismatched pair. While it is true that more power may overcome a mismatch in impedance to produce more volume, it comes at the cost of clarity, noise, and distortion. Bottom line, choose the headphones or speakers that match the devices you are using to drive them. RTFM (Read the ummmm fine manual) and find out what impedance your device is designed to use. When they match you win, when they don't there will be a price to pay in terms of signal quality. So even if you add a headphone amp, you still need to pay attention to the specs of the amp and what impedance headphones the manufacture recommends. This may mean purchasing more than one pair of headphones for a specific use. It's not practical to assume we can successfully use the same headphones for our phones, gaming, audio production, and music. No one size fits all.

Best closed headphones I have had so far. Getting new piece after about 11 years of daily use with no issues at all (PC gaming and music mixing). Super comfy and soud just fine for home use. N1 go to for me.

[WildWolf-pupj]

The video aesthetic is amazing. I dont know if the slightly grainy video and lower quality voice recording was intentional but along with the music it feels like it came out of the 80s

[manuelvicente]

My perfect option would be the 32 Ohms but with the grey confortable cushions...

[jeanpierre]

THANK YOU! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS INFORMATION FOR MORE THAN 6 HOURS!!!!

[Lodus_beatbox]

if you are a sound engineer or do alot of audio mixing, then 250 ohm is the way to go. I got the 80 ohm and was slightly disappointed, because when i was trying to mix my kick drums the low end would not be accurate to the actual sound. Just something to keep in mind.

[dynamicgorgon]

This might be the most helpful comment section I have ever seen

[JerrySandusty]

Thanks man this was a really well produced video, appreciate your concise review

[NeZversSounds]

At work, I have 250ohm and 80ohm versions and I can plug both to PC without interface and get the same volume. Also, Focusrite 2i2 2nd gen has the same volume for both headphones. Don't stress about ohms if you are on PC, for mobile battery sake you would want to go with the 80s. I have been using many headphones and fail to see the claimed problems with different ohm headphones and need for amp. At home, I have Audio Technica m50 and Sennheiser HD-600... no problems with volume (interface/PC/laptop/mobile).

[coiorr]

so good thank you in 5 minutes you explained 3 different ones . this is helpful for me who doesn't know about them.

[djsly]

Excellent, very informative video. I've had my Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 2x600 Ohms since 1999.

[hardlinenexus]

Why is 250 Ohm better for critical listening? What can higher impedance do or quality provide that lower impedance cant? Like what is the quality difference do you hear in the 250 vs 80 ohm?? All three headphones are the same price currently on Amazon in the US right now. But higher ohm doesn't necessarily mean better...?

[michaelwashington]

Well done fam right on time I'm looking for new headphones appreciate the review

[darknessblades]

I drive the DT770 Pro 80 Ohms straight from my motherboard "asus Croshair VIII formulla" and i don't even have it at max volume {around 40%} with the Audio boost {realtek console} at performance modus. [lowest]

I can still boost it much further.

My motherboard would even support the 250Ohm version, but i did not buy it as the cable is a spiral one wich is Annoying to work with on a desk

[anoop]

Just bought a 770pro 250 ohms and tested it on my iPhone 13pro, realme X and Sony Walkman A55. Realme at 80% volume, iPhone at 90%, A55 at about 75% volume drives it nice without amp

[rserg]

wish i would have watched this before i went and bought the 250 ohms version, but thanks for knowing which interfaces and things i can do to save myself!

[shymaniac]

Straight to the point. Thank you very much!
