Can anyone explain to me about what is considered high impedance and what is considered low impedance when it comes to headphones? What is the cutoff line (in terms of numbers) between the two? Can you name a few examples of headphones in each category? What info/spec do I look at on an amp to make sure that it would be able to drive the headphone of my choosing?

I had tried doing some search on the web for the past two hours, but wasn't successful. The search function on this site seemed to be turned off as well.

I'd define 120 Ohm as medium, everything below 60 Ohm as low and everything above 240 Ohm as high impedance.
