You can't go wrong. I bought the DT48 200 ohm and love them. The lower number ohm headphones I have, Sony MDR 7509HD, are so easy to drive that I find I am using them at the start of the reostat where there are issues on most devices; balance problems, static. The DT48 200 ohm are easy to drive but need enough juice that the volume control should not be a problem. I switch to my other phones when I need a bass hit, DT150 200 ohm, however, the more I compare sound the more I use the DT48: near perfect treble, midrange and midbass so they do have superior sonic fidelity. They are very comfortable too after a week or so. The sound changes quite a bit depending on where they rest on your head: much more than the other headphones I have tried. This is not a bad thing, you just shift them around to see how good the sound can get.
