Default Headphone Impedance


The impedance of the headphone is pretty much meaningless.
The sensitivity is critical. Impedance matching can be done with
high quality audio interstage transformers. The most popular
headsets are made from sound powered Deck-Talkers used on
WWII era military ships. They have balanced armatures and
are extremely sensitive, and very low impedance.
