Bad Audio only with specific headphones

Hi all,
my machine plus has terrible audio using both my headphones which work fine with my iPhone. An external speaker works well with good sound. additionally audio via the regular stereo ports works fine the same time also with the above mentioned headphones
that is quite confusing to me.
anyone any idea about this? thank you!
cheers

Is the impedance of your headphone the same to use with Maschine?

I found no information about impedance for machine plus so far. Alas I cannot check this

Headphone impedance certainly is a factor , but alas no recommendation is given in specs. (you could maybe try headphones with a little higher impedance ?)
You could check to see if any of the audio settings can improve your experience , especially the "Check the MASCHINE+ (Stand-Alone) Audio Interface" at lower part of page ! : My Headphone Output is Not Working on MASCHINE MK3 or MASCHINE+ :
Else you could try contacting support ! : Support link : http://bit.ly/NIsupport_maschine
MASCHINE+ head phone out specs :
Headphone Out
Maximum Output Level 29.4 mW @ 33 Ohm load
Dynamic Range 102 dB
THD+N 0.007 %
Frequency Response: 20Hz-20kHz +/- 0.35 dB
Crosstalk L/R -60 dB
Also from manual : The headphones output of your MASCHINE+ is an additional stereo output, distinct from the main output pair, and perfectly tailored for the Cue channel of MASCHINE+. However, if you want to monitor the main outputs in your headphones, please select +Phones in the Outputs section of the Hardware page in the SETTINGS. For more information, refer to Hardware Settings.
