HD Omni, headphone impedance

[JFreak]

Couple of ohms here or there. Think of it like this:

600ohm: weak
300ohm: usable
150ohm: okay
75ohm: strong

This is not rocket science; but with that said, difference between 32 and 64 ohm headphones is just as great as difference between 300 and 600 ohm headphones. It's not like there's some magic ohm number between 75 and 150 where there's a sweet spot. It all comes down to the ability of headphone amp to drive the headphones. If the amp is sub-par, you benefit from lower ohm headphones. If it's a great headphone amp, it doesn't matter what the headphone spec is.

so... yea, 80Ω is maybe the best choice :)

Something worthwhile reading. Scroll to impedance chapter if you can´t be bothered to read the whole lot:

I use K240s with the Omni regularly. 55 ohm and fine.

That is one I compared, the K240 55 ohm vs the K240 Monitor, which is 600 ohm.

that's the point, is the HD omni a great/good HP amp ? ^^

I regularly drive my Sennheiser HD800's from the Omni and it's beaten or tied the headphone amps we've tested against it here (Zen Studio, RND Headphone, Schiit Magni 2).


Should have no problem with the Beyer's
