There are plenty of nice headphones with low impedance among grado, sennheiser, beyerdynamic etc, you kinda have to go out of your way to choose a high impedance “home stereo” style ‘phone
- astrange 4y agoThat’s funny since when I ordered a Beyerdynamic headphone on Amazon they sent me the high impedance model I hadn’t asked for. Although the best one I own is a Stax which needs an entire speaker amp.
- NikolaNovak 4y agoWait, aren't Stax the electrostatic high-voltage headphones? I think at that point, "Convenience" is deeply crossed out as a selection criteria, and a portable phone while jogging is not a likely scenario :).
- astrange 4y agoThey actually made IEMs once. Beyond the technology being hard to manufacture, Stax's products are mainly just inaccessible because they have the traditional Japanese business approach of being run by 800 year olds who are actively offended by the idea that anyone they don't know might want one of their products.
- jazzyjackson 4y agotheir portable 'phones are fantastic, but yes, their full size tube amp is taking an inordinate amount of space on my desktop https://www.headfonia.com/baby-stax/ https://www.headfonia.com/baby-stax/
