I would like to take the SY300 on a trip, but my Headphones ( I have two of them) are to quiet. Is there a feature to rise the power, or do  I need other phones?

The SY-300 Headphone jack is a bit of an afterthought

If on a trip, Id feed the SY-300 output into the Aux input on Boss  GT-1 and connect headphones to the GT-1

Or seek small FIIO headphone amplifier

You probably need headphones with a lower impedance.


Agreed. Have numerous headsets and my AKG K240DF is the only one in need of an external amp. It's a 600 ohm pair of cans.

I love my Sony MDRV6 Studio Monitor Headphones so much (been using them since at least 2004) that I bought 2 more pair. One goes with my VG-99 and stays with it. The other I use for everything else. Oh, and I bought a pair for my wife.

Light, folding, but quality built and the sound is great. I also have an old AKG240 (I think) at my office. Sounds great, too, but it's even older.

Low volume is good for the ears.

Indeed.
My favourite listening device is my pair of Etymotic ER4S. Can even keep low levels on a loud, noisy stage. Around 40 db attenuation is a real hearing saver.
