Solved! Is 150ohm too much

Aivar · Mar 18, 2017

I want to buy new better headphones. I found good ones(SUPERLUX HD330) for only 39€. I was going to buy them but then I saw that they have 150ohm. My current ones are 32ohm.
Will my LG G4 and laptop run 150ohm headphones without amp? I dont want to buy an external amp.

I wouldn't advise it. At that point you are going to need an amp.

Dont they work at all. Do you have any good headphones in that price range(i would like open back and studio quality).
Will my phone just start smoking if i put these in.
My radio(more like media center with amp) has 3.5 mm jack, will it be enough. My 5.1 Logitech speaker system has 3.5 too.

They will produce sound, but they will not sound that great.

I personally use Phillips SPH9500s and I enjoy them, however all I have to compare them to are my M50Xs.

Maybe my philips stereo system will be okay as an amp. My old 32ohm headphones sounded like laptop at 100% volume when plugged in and at half volume.
I wont use these headphones on the go.

Aivar :

Loudness isn't the only thing that gets impacted by not having an amp powerful enough to power it. You may still have decent loudness, but certain frequency ranges (such as the low end) will be significantly off from reference.

Well the system I have powers 2x30W speakers and has quite damn powerful 3.5 jack in the front too.
I will go for these headphones probably and use my 32ohm on phone.
