It's been a while (2004) since i took it apart, so I don't recall
details, but it was REALLY mickey mouse. :)
As for the Impedance Issue, just from my experience ... Higher
Impedance headsets seem to need more voltage to produce the same amount of
volume. I believe that once again Bob/K4TAX is correct in saying that Lower
Impedance Headphones should have greater sensitivity or louder output.
These are my beliefs. Your mileage may vary.
While this is approximately true, there's quite a bit more to it than
that. The difference is EFFICIENCY -- how much POWER is needed for a
given loudness. And, in general, the transducer designer must give up
some efficiency to get smooth frequency response and lower distortion.
In addition, the impedance of ANY magnetic transducer is FAR from being
constant with frequency. There are many electromechanical resonances
that show up in the equivalent circuit. Headphone and loudspeaker
impedances are specified at their minimum value in the audio midrange
(think 500 Hz - 4 kHz for headphones).
