If you wanted to hear the difference that occurs when using a high-impedance headphone, you can easily and cheaply modify your current headphone by adding a resistor to your cord (or an extension cord, so you can A/B the results). I'm new at this DIY stuff, so bear with the kid who did get to honors physics, but tha's about it...

Thread about doin this here:
Making and Etymotic P to S adapter cable

Sounds pretty simple, neh? Impress your friends (and enemies

"I modded my headphones by buying headphone pads, a $40 /$20 amp, and everything else people were saying to do. Do you know any place I can send my headphones to get liberators attached?"
"That's cool. I made my headphones sound smoother and cleaner like high-end phones by raising the impedance. I could have bought a chord for $50, but I made my own for a quarter in 10 minutes."
"I hate you."
"You know I could show you how too..."
"I LOVE you man!"
