The Impedance Equation: More Ohms, More Problems? Why High-Impedance Doesn’t Always Mean Better Sound
1. The Seductive Numbers GameIn the world of audiophilia, numbers can become gospel. Impedance, measured in ohms, is one such figure that often gets misinterpreted. The assumption? That higher impedance headphones—250Ω, 600Ω—are inherently superior in fidelity and build. But this view strips away context. While those figures look impressive in spec sheets, they don’t account…
