New earphones!!!

by coolcatcgt87 Oct 18, 2007 3:36PM PDT

I was planning on buying a new set of earphones and had a doubt regarding it. I remember studying that impedance matching is an important thing to consider whenever sound (or electricity) travels from one medium to another. I was just wondering if that is applicable when buying earphones. I noticed that most earphones have an impedance rating on the cover whereas a lot of mp3 players don't (i lost the cover of mine so i'm not sure if it had it). Also, if anybody knows the impedance of the Creative Zen Vision:M could you please let me know. Any help form you guys will be much appreciated.
Cheers, Chris.
