I am in Pennsylvania and I am already having issues with heat and sweat with my headphones. I love the sound of my Grey Ghost Ultimates but the summer will be too hot. I have tried my Iphone 4s ear buds and a $20 pair of Scull Candy ear buds with my AT Pro and the Z Lynk and the buds with a 1/4" adaptor. The sound was not loud enough even with the Z Lynk volume and ear bud volume at full, the Scull Candy has no volume adjustment. Is there a known brand that is good for this application, possibly with a low impedance to allow maximum volume?
Try these with the Z Lynk: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/jvc-marshmallow-earbud-headphones-black/1997702.p?skuId=1997702
No volume control other than on the Z Lynk, but they are loud even at 32 ohm. Garrett is near me and I went up and talked to one of the engineers there about the Z Lynk, because originally I thought I would need low impedance to match the resistance for the sound to be louder or "optimal", but it doesn't matter that much. If worse came to worse and you tried to pair 600 ohm "studio earbuds" up with the Z Lynk, it would just drain the battery much faster trying to push a load through them.
My problem turned out to be a junky 1/4 inch to 3.5mm adapter from Fleabay.
Bought another new adapter (from a real store, $2) and bought the JVC's listed above for $10 and they can blow your eardrums out if the volume is set too high. They are cushy and soft in the ears too, haven't tried another pair since and between me, the wifey and 5 kids...we have earbuds of all types out the whazoo.
