Low impedance headphones

Impedance up to 16 Ohm

— headphones with the lowest impedance values among modern models. 16 ohms is considered one of the standard values, but there are also smaller indicators — for example, 11 or 12 ohms.

It is this option that is recommended to pay attention to if you are looking for “ears” for a smartphone, pocket player or other portable device: even a low-power amplifier of such a gadget is guaranteed to cope with low-impedance headphones. However, you can look at models with higher resistance — up to 32 ohms.
