Which headphone, 32,250 or 600 Ohm
Which headphone, 32,250 or 600 Ohm
I want to buy the Beyer Dynamic DT-880 but don't know which 1 to buy. Most of the time I will use it on my Yamaha A-S201 amplifier and occasionally on my smartphone or computer. Checked the Yamaha user manual but can't find anything about impedance of the phone connection. Any advice about impedance or better headphone for approx the same price is welcome.
You're viewing a single thread.
The LOWER the impedance, the louder the headphones. The lower impedance models (in my opinion, I haven’t read Beyer’s copy) are made with studio work in mind, for example listening to tracks as you are playing and recording drums, which are quite loud. For simple listening, the 250ohm pair of DT700 (for example) would be great. I own a pair. They are plenty loud and sound great.
