Oh. OK. Well, then I guess I'll have to learn how to use them correctly.

I bought them off eBay some time ago because I have always felt that 
headphones should have the highest impedance available, especially for

OK. Well, I have not yet had a receiver with high enough impedances yet I 
guess.

OK. Well, I'll have to reevaluate these. Thanks, Dennis.
