If you’re just starting your audiophile journey, get the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO
is Best Low Impedance Headphones. These are hands down the best entry-level
audiophile headphones we’ve tested so far. They have a more premium look than
their price tag might suggest and a sturdy, durable construction that makes them
feel like they would outlast more expensive audiophile headphones. They sound
great and reproduce instruments and vocals with precision. They sound a bit
sharp on brighter tracks, but they actually pack a lot of bass for an open-back
model. They might not be as immersive as some of the more expensive
recommendations, but they do have a bit more vibe than most closed-back
headphones.
The construction of the DT 990 PRO features plastic for the ear cups, the
headband is made of metal and is covered with a soft cushion. The plastic used
is of high quality and built to last. The helmet has a smooth finish and looks
like a top notch product. The ear cups are covered with velor and are very
smooth and soft which adds a premium look to the headset. The ear pads and vinyl
headband cushion are both replaceable. The headband and headphones are connected
by a steel yoke which also allows the headphones to move. The headband has a
tight clamp first, but since the headband is made of a steel spring, you can
bend it slightly to loosen the grip.
The fit and comfort of the DT 990 PRO is excellent. The velor covered and thick
padded ear cushions are fantastic. If you spend long sessions on your PC
listening, recording, or doing nothing, the DT 990 is a headset you can try.
Compared to the DT 770, the 990 Pro is more comfortable, but it is noticeable
after long sessions of use. This could be due to the lighter, more breathable
990. Compared to the HD 600, which weighs 10 grams lighter, but less breathable
pads, we found the HD 600 to be more comfortable, but that was huge as the
HD600’s ear cups have more room for the ears and headband support. is excellent.
Among the three headphones from the most comfortable to the least comfortable,
it would be the HD 600, the DT 990 and finally the DT 770. In terms of build
quality, the DT 990 Pro carries the German build quality that Beyerdynamic is
famous for. Other than the non-detachable cable, there isn’t much to complain
about. The combination of metal and plastic construction balances weight while
keeping the whole construction sturdy.
In terms of sound quality, the DT 990 Pro leans towards a V-shape. This means
the lows and highs are more pronounced. This is an open back helmet, so there is
more detail than its competition. The DT 990 Pro shares many qualities with the
top-of-the-range DT 1990 Pro. While not as detailed as the DT 1990 Pro, it is
not as sharp and tiring as the top-of-the-line model. It’s a headset that has a
sufficiently precise but still pleasant sound signature.

If you are looking for inexpensive audiophile headphones, the Sennheiser HD 600
is the best budget Low Impedance Headphones. deal we can find to satisfy our
hearing aids. The Sennheiser HD 600 is the kind of headphone that lets you
replay everything you’ve heard to get the sound you want. This helmet has been
around for a while. I know there’s a lot of criticism on this already, so I’m
going to skip the origins, who it was made for, and jump right into the build,
comfort, and sound quality.
Most of the material in the Sennheiser HD 600 is plastic. The plastic is sturdy
and has a speckled stone design. The plastic surrounds the headphones and is
used for the headband. However, this does not make the headphones fragile or
less expensive. In addition to the plastic, the helmet also has memory foam that
is used in the headband and the pads with velvet that covers them. A metal
headband connects the headband to the headphones and can be adjusted to fit your
head size.
While they don’t beat the precision or depth of the models at the top of our
list, the HD600 still goes toe-to-toe with headphones that cost twice as much,
like the Beyerdynamic Amiron Home, mentioned above. They are renowned for being
able to respond well to a wide range of amplifiers, which you will definitely
need due to their high impedance, and for their ability to accurately translate
sound. They are far from the most current model, and you should expect their
construction to be a bit simple and unsophisticated, but combine them with a
Schiit battery (a Modi DAC and a Magni amplifier) and you will witness some of
the best audio. pairings. By the way, you might be wondering why we chose them
over the HD650 or 800, which are slightly newer. The answer? The HD600s sound
better. Sometimes it is that easy.

If you need a closed alternative to the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro, then
Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 ohm is the Best Low Impedance Headphones. They have a
rugged design and a Beyerdynamic V-shaped sound signature. This is a classic
pair of headphones that has been in common use in the production industry for
several decades. Their sound is not as precise as that of the DT 990 Pro. This
is a drawback associated with the closed back design. However, this does not
reflect the quality of the product.
The DT 770 Pro has better bass output than the DT 990 Pro. Being a closed
design, the DT 770 Pro can deliver more bass. They also have a crisp, clear bass
output that doesn’t extend to the mid frequencies. They have an unusually high
soundstage, a feature that makes the DT 990 Pro a better choice for its lack.
Still, the DT 770 ranks higher than ATH M40X, ATH M50X and most closed-back
headsets in their price range.
The Beyerdynamic brand enjoys an excellent reputation in the world of
headphones. Whether you’re looking for studio headphones or a portable type,
Beyerdynamic has something you can always check out. The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro
(80 Ohms) is one of the best closed-back headphones you can get at a cheaper
price while still getting audiophile-quality sound.
The overall weight of this headset is negligible for circumaural headphones. The
headband is comfortable, and as mentioned earlier, it can be easily adjusted by
hand to fit your head shape. The pads are well padded and covered with a very
soft and breathable fabric. At first the ear cups are stiff, but after
occasional use they become quite comfortable. The clamping force is quite good,
it is not noticeable, and you can have the helmet for long hours without getting
tired.
For closed headphones, the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80 Ohm is good with passive
noise isolation. I wouldn’t call it great because in very loud environments they
leak a bit in noise, but in normal settings they are fine. Now on to the sound,
and start with the bass. The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro (80 Ohm) for me excels in
low notes. Initially, when you listen to the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm, the
bass sounds out of control but give it a little time to burn, and the bass
becomes more tight and punchy.
Overall, the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro is a nice pair of closed-ended low
impedance headphones. They combine both sound and build quality, making them
hard to beat.

practical for more casual use, get the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x. The M50x is
among the most popular headphones in the audiophile community thanks to its
great sound, durable construction, and affordability.
The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x is probably one of the most recommended headphones
as an inexpensive alternative in the world of hi-fi audio. Why? Because these
are versatile. They look good, they are foldable and they have good comfort. The
ATH-M50x is also well built and seems quite sturdy so they will last a long
time. The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x is ideal for listening to music; however,
these are not neutral enough to be called studio monitors as the name suggests.
Find out more about it below.
The ATH-M50X are closed over-ear headphones. The hull is well built and although
most of the material is plastic it appears to be of high quality. Few pieces of
metal are used in the construction of the headband. From our previous experience
with the old ATH-M50, the ATH-M50X is also durable. Audio Technica also spiced
this up a bit by providing blue, white, and red versions of this model.
The ATH-M50x has deep, extended bass, accurately reproduces instruments and
vocals, and has excellent highs that are neither too sharp nor too hollow. They
are comfortable and feel durable enough to easily last for a few years, even if
you accidentally drop them a few times.
The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x have closed-back headphones that make them slightly
more suitable for commuting and everyday use than the other recommendations on
this list. However, this also means that its soundstage is not as spacious and
immersive as that created by open models. That said, they sound better than
other closed-back headphones in their price range and are a good option for
audiophiles looking for a more versatile option.

failure, such quality is excellent. Furthermore, you have the option of
replacing the cable with one that is either shorter or longer in length.

these low impedance headphones feature high-quality driver chips. Also, because
the headphones have such little drivers, they don’t pick up any extra noise that

you can adjust the volume levels separately. In fact, the left and right

BEYERDYNAMIC DT 1770 PRO STUDIO CLOSED REFERENCE HEADPHONES
beyerdynamic DT 1770 Pro Studio Headphone, DT 1770 PRO (DT 1770 PRO)

Check Price on Amazon
The Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO are excellent closed-back critical listening
headphones with a well-balanced audio signature. They’re well-made and provide
excellent comfort if you prefer a snug fit. Because they isolate more noise and
leak less than open-back models like the DT 1990 PRO and DT 990 PRO, they are
more adaptable. They are, however, bulky, and the included case is very large,
so they will not be very portable. On the plus side, unlike the lower-end
Beyerdynamic versions, they include a detachable cord.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS HEADPHONE IMPEDANCE?
Simply explained, because headphones are electronic devices that run on
electricity, they will (naturally) have some resistance to the electrical
current flowing through them. Impedance is closely tied to resistance, but it
also takes into account a few other elements.
WHY DO SOME HEADPHONES RUN LOW IMPEDANCE AND OTHERS RUN HIGH?
The fact that people listen to music on their phones or mobile devices is one of
the main reasons why popular headphone alternatives today are developed with low
impedance in mind.
People nowadays use their phones to listen to music, podcasts, audiobooks, and
other media on the go. It’s more accessible, more widely available, and far more
convenient than carrying about even an iPod! Because the market is clamouring
for headphones that function well with low impedance, headphone makers are
responding.
Lower impedance level solutions produce superior sound when connected with these
devices, but genuine audiophiles are starting to feel left out in the cold.
HOW MANY OHMS SHOULD MY LOW IMPEDANCE HEADPHONES BE?
You can get away with headphones rated for 8 to 32 ohms if you’re going to be
listening to music more casually on a frequent basis (typically on a smartphone,
tablet, or computer).
Low-impedance headphones like these will perform brilliantly with “underpowered”
audio equipment, allowing you to hear the music clearly in a way that is
difficult to achieve with higher-impedance headphones.
Stick to headphones with a resistance of 32 ohms or less, and you’ll be able to
listen to music on pretty much any mobile device from now on.
