iPod touch iPod touch headphone range

if you buy a set of portable headphones, you'll have no problem pushing them with an ipod. my ATH-CK10s have an impedance of 55Ω and i listen to my ipt4 at 25%.

just stay clear of higher end full sized headphones and you should be fine. note that Ω is not a clear indicator of how much drive a pair of headphones need. the AKG K701 are notoriously hard to drive and require a very good chain to run properly, and it has an impedance of 62Ω.

well, like i said, ohms isn't a good indicator. it really depends on the the 'phone itself. which model are you looking at?

so 70ohms is a little much then?

I have an adapter that adds 70ohm resistance to my earphones taking them to around 100ohm, l have to run the volume 15-20% higher to achieve the same volume when using it but the Touch drives them fine.

70 should be fine; I have a pair of 64-ohm headphones and they worked with my last Touch just fine.

That's is interesting. I hope that the noise canceling BOSE headphones work. These headphones are convenient when there is a lousy travel.

I use these

(for many years). They have made me in all types of music from Trance to Black Metal drum riffs. They really need to be placed in the ear right to get the full effect.

good value for as long as they last...

EDIT: for noise canceling... These will make you hear your heart beat, nothing else
