Using headphone with AV receiver

[hifi1975]

Hi All,
When using a headphone (wireless ) with my AV receiver ( Onkyo 606) am i supposed to get the 2.1 ( stereo ) or just plain left and right channels without woofer effects.

I feel the same with and without the subwoofer powered on . Seems like subwoofer effects are not applicable while listening to headphone. Am i right.

Probably without woofer effects... simple 2.0


What phones do you have... not every phone can woof ... 2.0 or not!

When headphones are connected, the receiver automatically defaults to 2.0 Stereo mode. There is no signal sent to the LFE channel. Even if you use a DVD and play a movie using Dolby or DTS, what you will hear are just the front L&R speaker output. There is no Point 1.

This has nothing to do with the headphones.

I tried to connect my Audio Technica headphone to Nad C320 amp and the result is BAD compared to un amped headphone out source.

I think the headphones require specialised headphone amps.

Any comments?
