Entender impedance

Impedance determines how much voltage is needed to drive a headphone to a given volume.

Categories

  • 16–32 Ω — IEMs, most consumer cans. Run loud from a phone.
  • 32–80 Ω — premium portable headphones. Phone works; dedicated amp adds headroom.
  • 150–250 Ω — studio/Hi-Fi (DT 770, HD 600 family). Need a real amp.
  • 300–600 Ω — pro studio. Definitely need an amp.

Why high-impedance exists

Higher-impedance drivers can be wound with thinner wire, allowing tighter motor systems and more accurate transient response — at the cost of needing more voltage to drive.

Sensitivity matters too

A 32 Ω headphone at 85 dB/mW sensitivity may be quieter than a 300 Ω one at 110 dB/mW. Always read impedance + sensitivity together.

Este dueloAONIC 5's 36Ω is roughly 38% more than ZAR's 26Ω (a 10Ω gap). Lower is better here, so ZAR takes the lead in real use.

Glosario

¿Qué es impedance?

A headphone's electrical resistance to AC current, in ohms (Ω). Low-impedance (16–80 Ω) headphones run loud from any phone; high-impedance (250–600 Ω) need a dedicated amplifier.
