Hi. The specs for these phones are pretty good, but then on-paper specs often do. Impedence is 4 ohms, which I would have thought is on the low side. It doesn't seem to have any deletarious effect on my Sony MD player though. I've mentioned the Philips phones previously, which are cheaper. Cannot hope wondering if there might be a 're-badging' operation going on here. Its difficulut to imagine the R&D being done all over again. I'd have thought patents would be involved too. Will take a look at the Boss site soon.
