32 ohm vs 250 ohm - Which Headphones Sound Best?
823,334
Published 2019-12-14
In this video, I hope to quickly answer lots of questions about headphones including:
How do headphones work?
What Ohm of headphones do I need?
Which impedance sounds best?
High or Low impedance headphones for Mixing and Mastering?
How do headphones actually work?
What's inside headphones?
Do more ohms sound better?
I exclusively use Beyerdynamic headphones in my studio because they are all made in Germany to the highest quality and are perfect for producing, mixing and recording! The DT 770 Pro is perfect as an all-rounder and is a legendary headphone in the industry but I prefer the open-backed headphones for mixing. for more information about mixing in headphones, Check out this video:

You are literally better than my physics teacher (germany)
-
Minor gripe: the difference between high and low impedance headphones is the voltage needed to drive them. The power should be about the same across headphone types.
-
real good video, with extra clear explanations. All with a nice smile, a calm "Zen" voice and no stupid distracting sound or visual effects. Just gettiong down to basics and straight to the point. Thank you so much.
-
Wow!! Thanks for nerding out - I like knowing the "why" and "how" of things and your explanation really helps me both in music and life!!
-
Man, even being good at making music, I guess you are even more talented in teaching. Every video I see, I learn af.
-
Hey, this was an amazing video! Thank you for teaching some of the scientific and technical engineering concepts, I really enjoyed the fact that you disassembled the earcups and showed us the actual driver technology and how the impedance relates to the coil length. Thank you!
-
The shortest 8 minutes of my life. That was really fascinating
-
insanely useful info. just bought my first 250ohm headphones and wanted to know more about impedance. thanks so much!
-
What a fucin' excellent video! I was not really looking for an explanation on Ohms, but what i learned here about the composition of the audio drivers exceeded my expectations.
-
The depth you go into this video, is godly! Appreciate the knowledge!
-
Thank you! This video is the best explanation of the difference between low & high impedance headphones. I really appreciate your full yet succinct explanation. BIG help!
-
Perfect! I was searching for a straight answer on what kind of impedance headphones would suit my interface. Thanks so much, this was really useful
-
this makes a lot of sense. i was interested in buying Beyerdynamic, and had no idea what this meant. this helped a lot, you explained it very well thank you
-
Nice! I have the 770’s 250 ohm AND I happen to have the iD14!! When I purchased the headphones I wondered if the iD14 would drive it enough but quikly found out it did! Audient interfaces are pretty underated imo.
-
Just quickly wanted to say thank you for all of your tutorials and explanations. You did an amazing job and helped me with a lot of things!
-
This was great! I've been looking for recording headphones for a while, and was trying to understand Ohm so you helped a lot! I'm actually getting the mid level ones you showed in the video from beyerdynamic. Thank you!
-
Thank you SO much for this video, you literally explained everything I wanted to know and more!
-
I am always being asked which headphones are best and which impedance (ohm) is best! In this video, I hope to quickly answer lots of questions about headphones including: How do headphones work? What Ohm of headphones do I need? Which impedance sounds best? High or Low impedance headphones for Mixing and Mastering? How do headphones actually work? What's inside headphones? Do more ohms sound better?
-
This is such a fantastic video. Your explanations are so clear and to the point. Thanks!
-
Absolutely fantastic video. So appreciated the actual headphone disassembly and explanation. I learned a lot!
