First post - sorry if this is in the wrong place!
I know absolutely nothing about music/sound/audio, but I'm looking to buy some headphones as a birthday gift for my partner, he mentioned liking the dt990s at one point so I was going to get those. They would be used for recording and mixing primarily, with occasional use for live performances (synth) and mastering.
Issue is, I have no idea which to get - I'm pretty sure his interface is a Roland Duo-Capture EX which has an output impedance of 47 ohms. Would I be better with the 250 or 600 ohm headphones? From what little I've read you don't want your headphone impedance to be less than 8 times your output impedance which leaves me with 376+ ohms, right? Obviously that's closer to 250 than 600 though, so I really don't know - any advice is welcome!!
