    Default Cheap sensitive high efficient headphones for testing

    Soon I'm going to need headphones, for testing out headphone amps. Things like hiss, buzz and hums etc.

    Any recs?

    Thanks.

    Koss KSC75. I bought mine for 15 euro, the sound is surprisingly good even next to my "big boy" headphones (HiFiMan planars and Beyerdynamic DT880 600Ohm). With 101dB/1mW sensitivity and a slight peak in the presence region they will readily expose any flaws in the upstream equipment.

    I know this sounds daft. Does the Koss also come with a large jack?

    I don't think so, but adapters are like a couple of quids each.
