Headphones: 32, 80 or 250ohms? Beyer-Dynamic 770 pro.

I will be using the headphones with following:

-PC (stock soundcard)
-A variety of hardware digital multitrack recorders
-Battery radios, CD-players

...just about everything...

I've learned from researching the net, that a 80ohm headset will be good for everything- except iPhones and smartphones; where they won't be very loud. (Or reduce battery life, because you need more gain from the source).

I'm ordering the 80ohm verision, and hope I will be happy.

Thanks for your reply.

The 80 is a good choice for all around use.

It's surprising how few devices clearly state their headphone specs.

I recently bought a pair of Audio Technica. One review says look for aftermarket velvet ear cushions. They are really a bless over the faux leather, which sticks to the skin after an hour of listening.

I have an ancient pair of 600 ohm AKG 240's. My cell phone drives them OK but then again I'm no going for a ton of volume. Just tossing it out there.
