[QUOTE="capetownwatches, post: 964848, member: 19576"] Z is simply the scientific abbreviation for Impedance, so it means high impedance. There will be 300 Ohms of resistance when connecting the HD600 to an output circuit. The common misconception is that this means that the headphones will be difficult for an amplifier to drive effectively. As shown by the specs, this is not so with the Sennheisers. One needs to look beyond only impedance and take sensitivity into account as well. My personal experience with the HD600 is that it scales very well, in other words it sounds better with high quality amplification. [/QUOTE]
