Will this drive 250 ohm headphones?

Yep, it has a headphone amp that can power even 600ohm headphones! So you'll be set with a 250ohm. That's part of what makes these so cool..the ability to power higher-end headphones.

Yes it will, but sound quality varies. I use mine with multiple in-put sources (phone, computer, stereo, tv.) All with the appropriate headphone.

I have the 250 ohms as I drive them with a headphone amplifierso in short it depends what you plug them into ie Iphone which doesn`t have enough power to drivethe 250 ohms.For example "The 32 ohm model is a good option for those who wish to use this headphone while they are mobile or paired with devices such as laptops, iPods, MP3 players, tablets, etc"

If the headphones are of decent quality, you dont have to worry. This amp should not have enough power to damage quality headphones. They work fine with my Momentum and AKGs fine

It could mean 32 ohms to each ear speaker. I use it for my Fender guitar amplifier and have had no complaints.

I have one and Sennheiser HD 558 Headphones. The simple answer would be "yes". The volume it provides me is more than enough.

According to the specifications in the manual, the output impedance on each channel is 51 Ohms. So it won't be matched very well, which means you will have suboptimal power transfer, but I would expect that it will still drive the headphones. It just may not be as loud as you need. It is preposterously loud with my 64 Ohm headphones, for what it's worth.

Yes it should. I am currently using it to power my Bose 901 VI speakers and it delivers great power. For 250 w speakers you will have to be careful with the volume as it will be louder than normal. You can also plug in USB and other items to it. In my opinion, this is the best amp for the price/power.

I use my amp with 2 sets of phones. Both are Beyer-Dynamic at 250ohms each. One open back, one closed back. The sound is great, I think you will be pleased, especially with Sennheiser open back phones.

It likely will. Based on your setup, adding a ground loop isolator is the first thing I would try. It's impossible to say for sure- a bad DAC in your computer or poorly insulated headphone wiring are within the realm of possibility, but Amazon is great about returns. I'd pull the trigger on this if I were you.

from what I have read and understood on youtube and forums is that you will need to config it first then plug it to your console, not a 100% sure tho as I didnt buy it yet, I am trying to figure out If I will need an Amp with it or if it powerful enough to power a 250 ohm headphone.Creative is famous for leaving many questions unanswered about their products, and asking their support staff doesnt give you any helpful answers.

I use this with the HD 650 (300 ohm), this amplify the sound for weaker media players that can't provide much output power to the headphones, or to complement media players that need an extra boost in power output. This also provides a bass and treble boost if desired.

This answer may be 9 months too late but for those thinking of purchasing this product in the future, yes it will work but you will not see a great difference vs not using an amp since even most smartphones can drive 32ohm headphones decently.

It says right in the description for the unit "Headphones impedance between 16 ohm to 300 ohm are suitable for use with Icon uDAC-2".

Yes, it will. I use this hooked up to my computer along with the TSI100's and it sounds awesome. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0071HZ5EQ/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. So your little 25 watt amp will be fine.

So the resistance (Ohms of the headphones) tells you how easy it is to drive the speakers (produce sound). A higher ohms indicates that it is harder to drive the speakers; that being said that higher ohms means that the sound quality is better because there is less garbling of the signal. 30 ohms is standard and is appropriate for basically anything (mp3 players included) the 80 ohm can work with mp3 players but should have a amplifier, the 250 basically is useless without a good amp... if you want to get an amplifier I recommend the Fiio E11 portable amp (approximately 70 USD). Even if you get the 30 ohms DT 770 I am sure you will like it; I recommend getting an amp and higher "ohmage" if you want your music to sound just a bit nicer

They might seem just a little bit quieter at the same volume as you 2 ohms. But they should work fine.
