Several new pairs of cool headphones review
Impedance matching mainly comes into play for systems with considerable distance between source and destination. (ie.If the distance between them is comparable with the wavelength of the signal). In this case connecting cable impedance also should match with source and destination impedance. If impedance is not matched, signal will reflect back and forth causing echos canceling some parts of the signal. But this problem comes only in long lines like telephonic lines. This is the problem causing the faint sound at the receiver and on long distance calls.
For every device there is an impedance. Technically it is the resistance offered to any electrical signal. (Remember that sound signals are in the form of electrical signals up to the time it reaches the speaker diaphragm). Also to get optimum sound clarity, the impedance of the your device and headphone should match. (It is in accordance with maximum power transfer theorem. According to this theorem, to get maximum power transferred to the load, both source and load impedance should match).
The Sennheiser HD555's are, by far, my favorite pair of cool headphones because you can purchase them for a little over $100 and they have some of the best sound quality out of any pair that you're going to find under a budget. The HD555's are incredible flexible and stand up the test of time; I've dropped my pair many times without leaving a scratch on them which is hard to say for some other pairs that snap upon impact. I've owned two pairs of HD555 headphones over the years and I always come back to them because they incredible comfortable with the over-the-ear design, produce amazing sounds and can even be hacked and upgraded to HD595's with a little bit of tweaking.
These phones are very comfortable and compact and make a treat to wear while out and about. With their closed back design, their is minimal loss of sound and they also double as a decent pair of ear muffs! These phones are really made for the person on the go and the lifestyle of he street, with their short lead and loud and punchy sound. The phones do well on the low ends of the bass and handle it quite well, and the mids and highs are equally impressive. These come in at three because, they are a good all-round headphone, with great all round specs, they only lack the high end definition clarity you get with the first two we mentioned, but sure give them a run for their money. These phones are perfect for daily Pod listening.
This pair of headphones are a great deal for those that want to experience some serious audio replication; the over-the-ear style is great for blocking out the ambient noise when you're listing and the foam padding keeps the headphones from feeling heavy while resting on your noggin. These fall under 'studio monitor headphones' which are mainly used for music producers to listen to their mixes and tracks but what makes them amazing, for your purpose, is that they don't overload your music on treble or bass which causes distortion - you can hear music in a 'flat' manner that lets you pick up on all those small, little elements of music that you're probably missing out on with cheap dre beats you picked up when purchasing an MP3 player.
