The headphone issue, in conjunction with the relatively low volume 
of the DTXPU's output, has generated a lot of discussion over the 
years. You would do well to run a search on "headphones" to get the 
long story about recommendations and technical points. But the short 
answer is, with many exceptions: get a closed-design, low-impedance, 
high-sensitivity studio set and don't scrimp unless you know you're 
getting a great deal. The better your choice of headphones is, the 
better will be your impression of the DTXpress sound. Good 
headphones are a revelation, no matter what you use them to hear. 
Some of us run the module and headphones through an outboard mixer 
and others run the phones alone through an outboard amp (I use the 
Rolls Headphone amp) to get better control of the volume. Still 
others, I suspect the majority, run headphones either through the 
front or back inputs.
