Headphone impedence. What difference does it make?

I was looking at BeyerDynamics DT-880 "Premium" headphones on B&H for 309 and i noticed how they had 3 versions, 600ohm, 250ohm and 32 ohm, all priced the same. I have a proper amp I have hooked up to my Fiio E7 through the line-out adaptor, well not really proper i dont think, its the Technics SE-CA10, which I spliced from my old Technics mini hi-fi system, so driving them shouldn't really be a problem i hope. But my main question was does resistance change the perceived sound quality of these cans?

Also for music such as Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley would these be more preferable or the AKG Q701's?

Thanks heaps!

Seek and ye shall find.

 

Use keywords such as "DT880" followed by "impedance" in the search box and you'll find what you're looking for.

Thanks, shoulda searched first lolz.

Last question, does anyone know the headphone impedence supported by the SE-CA10 amp? It doesnt say so in the user manual or the service manual.
