Default Ohms specs for headphones...do they matter?

Or maybe they had atouch of the NS10 syndrome. Everybody saw them (there
weren't so many alternatives at the time), so everybody thinks they need
them.

Sorry for delay in replying.....overseas, touring!

Yes, there is an element of the NS10 involved .... DT 100 - pure,
accurate and standard throughout the world in every hit making studio.

That is the reason for their success, apart from the fact that they
are similar to Soundcraft mixing desks, modular in construction, so
that each part is quickly replaceable - and the folk in Burgess Hill
[quite near me] are so nice, professional and helpful.

Getting back to the NS10 situation, the DT100's are less frequency
friendly compared to the DT150's but are stunning for getting the
stereo placing correct in a mix [unless you use RSS effects, which
will not react in earphones].

They are also available in a number of Ohmage alternatives to give
differing levels of volume.

[Sounds like a sales commercial - but it is not .... only experience!]
