What's impedance is best for headphones?

    Best impedance for headphones connected directly to the Kemper output jack 3

    1. 32 Ohm (1) 33%
    2. 80 Ohm (1) 33%
    3. 250 Ohm (1) 33%

    Hi all,


    I'm going to order the Kemper Head in the next days and have realized I need to buy new a pair of headphones, too. At the moment I'm considering Beyer Dynamics DT 770 Pro... but I've noticed that they're offered in 3 different options: impedance 32, 80 or 250 Ohms.

    It seems higher impedance is better for sound quality, but then the overall volume is affected.


    Besides the HP brand/model, what impedance would you recommend for direct connection to the Kemper output jack?

    I don't use an audio interface and also don't want to use any additional amplifier for the HP.

    I have all 3 versions of the DT 770 and you can use all of them. But I wouldn't go for the 32 Ohms version because it has a shorter cable, 1.6m versus 3m. Also be aware that the 80 Ohms version has a straight 3m cable (probably best) while the 250 Ohms version comes with 3m spiral cable.

    Does the kemper sound good with such a Beyer Dynamic DT 770?

    Don't you have to make any tweacking on the profiles to be satisfied?

    Thanks a lot!
