I have a few questions. These headphones are my dad's which he bought in the 70's. I've plugged them into my Xonar Essence ST, used to my Sennheiser HD428s and not knowing what to expect but acoustic instruments and vocals sound amazing, but with heavy metal and more digital sounding music it sounded distorted (though still good overall). I was wondering if these are higher impedance than I'm using (0 to 64 ohms) and raising it would make the headphones sound less distorted. I'm also wondering if these headphones have better sound quality than my cheap Sennheisers, despite the age. Is it just because I'm not used to open back headphones?
