I don't think higher impedance phones will damage the unit, they just won't
sound as loud and may tend to sound distorted. I think I am going to go the
transformer route since I like my Heil Pro Set, but if I were looking for a
new pair, I would certainly look for something in the 16-32 Ohm range. The
Sennheiser HD202's I keep in the car for testing broadcast systems are 32
Ohm, and the volume settings are much lower when I use them for the same
loudness on the O2.

Well, I just checked the specs... It definetly says in the specification
page
that the audio output is designed for 16-32 ohm headphones.
I have been using my standard 600 ohm AKG A-240 stereo phones...I guess
I'm
lucky I haven't damaged the HW?
Guess I better look for omething different.
Any suggestions... I want quality phones, light weight, good sound, and
prefer ones that will... when used for hours will not make my ears get
real hot!
Noise cancelling not necessary, but I'm open to the idea...
