Matching headphones to a source
Headphones are the one part of a system where fit and seal matter as much as specification. A pair that suits your head, your ears and the place you listen will beat a technically better pair that does not.
Impedance and sensitivity decide whether you need an amplifier. High impedance designs need more voltage than a phone or laptop can supply and will sound thin and quiet without one. Sensitive in-ear monitors have the opposite problem and can reveal hiss from a noisy output. Planar magnetic designs generally want more power than dynamic designs of similar impedance.
Open back headphones give a wider sound stage and leak sound in both directions, which rules them out on a train or in a shared room. Closed back designs isolate better at some cost in openness. Detachable cables matter, because the cable is the part most likely to fail. Tell us what you will drive them with and where you will listen, and we will narrow it down.
