I am trying to find what impedance headphones I should buy. I will be using these headphones mostly for djing but sometimes with my laptop. If I want to maximize sound quality should I just go for the lowest possible or can I get away with something ~80+?

A demping ratio of 8 to 10 is considered a minimum.

According to https://pioneer.hr/controller-combo-dj-system/1199-ddj-flx4.html the headphone out is 10 Ohm so a headphone with a 80 Ohm impedance is a minimum (or you accept a bloated bass).
