Headphone Impedance

shyamal_das · 09-21-2009, 22:08

Hi,

I have a question, very simple but effective( i think )
If i use headphone with the impedance of 16 ohm OR 32 ohm OR 50 ohm,
How does the battery backup time effected i.e
Does it mean that less ohms = less battery drain OR
Does it mean that grater ohms = more battery drain.

S9 manual says about 16 ohm.
what happen if i use 32 ohm or 50 ohm headphone ?

thanks in advance for any advice

Wouldn't make any significant difference

maybe you would turn the volume up a little more, but not really much (I dont think)

The higher the ohm rating, the more power it will draw from the S9.

Whether or not it is actually significant, who knows?
