Some people like this, some don't. Do you want tons of bass? There's a Sony model that will make you happy. Do you want a warm sound? Stick with Sennheiser. Want to waste a bunch of money on a name and marketing? Buy Beats.

having a higher impedance is only going to make the noise to signal ratio better. anything under 250 ohm is going to be fine although you will probably need to throw more volume at it. i believe that you should get the fullest range and flattest response you can afford. let an eq do the eqing and let the speakers represent the signal that gets input. all that said, i dont think anything is going to get close to beating the ath m50 for anywhere near its price point.
