[QUOTE="Emil, post: 107890, member: 1581"] There is no way you can tell sound quality from the impedence of a earphone. The two parameters are quite independent. Earphone impedence specification is important to ensure that the amplifier has the ability to drive it. My advice is to just make sure that the source that is going to drive the earphone can do so. Generally speaking, a higher impedence is safer from the point of view of safety of your equipment. But not necessarily better from the point of view of quality. Then again, if you use a higher impedence earphone when a lower impedence is specified for the amplifier, you'll loose out on power. In layman's terms, what are you going to connect the earphones to? What have they specified should be the impedence of the earphones? There you have it. [/QUOTE]
