Quite confused as to why it matters on your headphones, variables, what to choose and what are the pros/cons and supported devices (I.e., phones, laptops, etc). 😅

Big thanks in advance

Super thankful for everyone contributing here! It’s a bit of a complex concept but I feel I have a closer idea now! And thank you to those who have tried the approach of being my dear children for a while! 🤣😜

Someone mentioned earlier of the existence of an online headphones power calculator, which I’m finding quite useful!

I will be in the seek of headphones soon (mostly to connect to my iPhone via the lightning jack adapter, as I use a vintage amp on my desk and that one won’t be an issue), so trying to figure out the right impedance-sensitivity balance I should be aiming for to try and avoid getting a DAC/amp.
