Not really. I'm sure there are junk headphones with low impedence and junk
headphones with high impedence.
It DOES make a difference in what type of level you need for headphone amps.
For example- most classic AKG studio headphones had a higher impedence so to
get the same volume, you'd have to crank the level up on the headphone amp
so the headphone amp would have to be able to deliver the audio volume
needed. If you compare it to a equally professional set of headphones like
a Sony 7506 - the Sony would need less volume from the headphone amp but its
lower impedence would be more of a strain on the amp itself (not that it
matters too much).

Hello,
I've been researching headphones. I noticed a lot of them are rated
at 32 ohms. Then many of the expensive ones are rated at 100+ ohms.
Does that mean a high-ohm rating has a correlation to sound quality?
