> For example, Beyerdynamic offers 32, 80, and 250 ohm versions of several of their models. Yes and you know what happens when you plug a higher impedance phone in a low impedance output right? (and the point is moot because we're talking about consumer devices) > Headphones with impedance greater than 100 ohms are typically older or professional studio specific design (or valve outputs - because of course it's "audiophile stuff") https://www.headphonesty.com/2019/04/headphone-impedance-demystified/ https://www.headphonesty.com/2019/04/headphone-impedance-dem... > A cable has both resistance and capacitance, which means every cable is also a low pass filter. A cable is a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_line and while it is technically a low-pass filter you have to show me actual numbers to convince me that it will significantly affect, let's say > 10kHZ at usual headphone cable lengths.
