Possible to only use headphones?

[Hydranockz]

Hey guys. I'm currently saving up for the ax synth and I don't currently have an amp of any kind.

If I was to buy the synth tomorrow, would it be totally necessary to also buy some form of amplifier or would I be able to hear it if I had a pair of headphones?

Sorry if my clear lack of knowledge on the topic offends anyone I just want to be aware of the 'total' cost of getting a synth.

Cheers

Sure, the AX Synth has a 1/4" headphone out.

Just be careful with your ears, some patches and resonance settings can easily damage your hearing. I try to limit my headphone use as I always tend to want to keep turning them up.

Enjoy.

Haha, awesome! That settles many of my concerns so. Now to go to music stores armed with headphones in the meantime while I continue saving up for it haha.

I think you better buy a headphone amplifier so that your headphone will produce a good sound. By using the headphone amplifier you can balance the resonance and the impedance of it. Aside from that, you don’t have to configure the software that you are using; a little fiddling will work in a headphone amp.

I just purchased an Ax-Synth last week, and can honestly say, without a doubt, that an external headphone amplifier is NOT "needed" to boost the sound levels!

In fact, you REALLY need to be careful with the volume control so you don't exceed the safe / comfort level of your headphones and ears!!

IMHO -

It sounds GREAT, as is!! :)
