Hi all, I have been reading the forum for several days now - contemplating different debates and discussions.
I have a set of Sennheiser 558's which I enjoy because I get fatigue pretty quickly listening to music. I run them at very very low volume on home PC, work laptop and ipod touch 3g.
DAC aside or a moment... I know there are mixed opinions about amping these headphones with many stating there is limited improvement because they are relatively low impedance anyway.
My phones seem to have a slightly fuller low end running from my yamaha home receiver than anything else I have listed.
So I just wondered about this chart?
I think the chart shows more impedance required in the ranges of 40Hz to around 120Hz for the 558's, which is the frequency range of most subs. Does that also mean that an ipod (intended for 32Ohm headphones) will struggle to drive the headphones within the 40-120Hz frequency range? Or does this balance out somehow?
