Sony does not like answering this question. I've asked them directly before and only received canned/circular responses. Here's my experience: Lower impedance headphones work better since this device can't push heavy drivers well at all. Personally, I use the Shure SE846 IEM buds when I'm at work. And I use the Sennheiser HD25-1 ii on ears at home. Both of these are low impedance and they both sound awesome and loud. I've tried high impedance headphones, specifically the T1 Tesla, and the perceived volume is very quiet due to the high resistance in those cans. For higher impedance cans I connect the Sony player to an RME ADI-2 Pro via USB. When I want to hear the Sony player's ClearAudio presentation, I will connect it to the RME's line input. I know you didn't ask this, but the frequency range is 20-40kHz. That should help you find low impedance headphones if you want to really enjoy this product.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Paseo81, this Walkman does not limit you to use Hi-res headphones. Any type of headphone will do, regardless of its impedance. You may refer to this link for more information: https://docs.sony.com/release//Help_4593956111.pdf Thanks, -Mark
