I've just found out that our daughter's purchasing a pair of WESC bongo headphones in the hope of using them on her new Ipod touch. Would I be correct in thinking that the impedance, which is 33 ohms, is too much and could permanently damage her Ipod or would they drain the battery too fast? I'd like an answer before they arrive in the post which could be any day now. Thanks in advance all you techies out there in AB land. Mr. D

The main problem is likely to be that the ipod won't drive them very effectively, so even at full volume, it's going to be a bit on the quiet side.
I use Sennheiser PX100s and they're great.

So they won't do permanent damage to her Ipod, is that correct, Answerprancer?
Sennheiser PX100s have a nominal impedance of 32 Ohms, so if an iPod can drive them OK, it can drive the WESC bongo just as well.
