Headphone Impedance

Headphone Heights

Welcome to Headphone Heights, the place for all your ear bud discussion

I have a headphone amp that has a slight hum which does not increase with changes in volume. I am using 32 ohm impedance headphones. The manufacturer recommends using a higher impedance headphone >100 ohm. Why would this make a difference? any recommendations for closed back phones < $175?
