Barry, the problem with low impedance headphones is not what it sounds like.
ALL headphones, any impedance, sound OK.

The problem is, with low impedance headphones, the volume is so loud, it
bursts your ear drumns, and the volume control is very sensitive to adjust.
To counter that, a very simple attenuator can be built using just two
resistors.

What I don't know (sri, no experience) is how headphones with 64 Ohms
perform.
They are probably OK and your suggestion to just plug them in and see is
very good.

Worst case, Steve will have to spend 50 cents on two resistors!

STEVE, PLEASE SHARE YOUR RESULTS WITH US.

What does it sound like if you just plug them in?
