I am of the opinion that inserting resistance inline with the headphones is detrimental to the performance, but apparently some phones out there are designed to work best with some resistance in series (this is why the Meier Corda amps have two outputs, one direct and one via 120 ohm resistors). 120 ohms is also a "standard" that few companies seem to adhere to. At any rate, I won't advocate it, and it's up to you to experiment.
