Headphones Impedance Value

shutter — Wed, 24 Jul 2024 13:53:36 GMT

I`m looking for a pair of Headphones... ( proper one`s - not the bung it in the ear type) .

SO .. Over the ear.. with big soft pads around the ear...

I know that the Impedance value of my phone audio output section is 32 ohms... so I have a pair of WIRED matching `phones at 32 ohms

Is it just as important to have 32 ohms match, when using BlueTooth, wireless phones? or can you use any impedance with wireless connection ( blue tooth or RF )

AIUI the impedance of the headpones (or speakers in the headphones) is irrelevant if the 'phones are connected by Bluetooth.

For the wired 'phones your amplifier (in whatever devices) is driving the headphone speakers and to avoid damage or sound level issues the headphones should match the amplifier.

For Bluetooth it's a digital wireless signal and the 'phones have a bluetooth receiver and amplifier built in that drives the speakers in the hedphones. So as log as the headphones support the right Bluetooth standard there should be no issue.
