[TenTec] Speaking of Headphones (Orion)

[Ron Castro]

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.
