How do I choose headphones?

Question

Iron

I was looking for headphones and I was puzzled by these characteristics:
Frequency response
Impedance
Sensitivity
Please explain what values ​​should be on these characteristics of headphones in order for these headphones to fit?
It will be better if you say specifically what certain types of headphones are suitable for: a player on the street or a computer at home.
Now I need to buy "droplet" headphones for the player, I'll find out.

Answer 1

I'm a little surprised that you understood everything and did not ask a question about one more characteristic - the price.
The price matters)))
So, droplets for the player.
The player has a maximum output power, a good one has more (eg Sansa Clip ~ 30mW), an ordinary one has much less (Philips GoGear ~2mW).
Headphones with low sensitivity on a frail player will sound just quiet - unacceptably quiet for the street.
Low is less than 100dB/mW.
So buy yourself some good ones

When choosing acoustics (headphones), 1st, you need to determine exactly what you are listening to - genre (pop, rock, electronics, classical, vocals) - even if you say - I listen to everything - 2nd you need to understand this - source (phone, player (more expensive than an average touch phone), a bunch of computer + dac, etc.) because the bitrates are different (you can roughly compare - diluted beer (mp3,acc and similar formats) and not diluted (flac, waw, sacd) if you hear the difference and want more - experiment and look for "your sound") ...
If you reduce it to the minimum task - choose headphones (and you do this sanely for the first time 8D) - your actions - 1st, select 4-5 songs of your favorites - at a minimum in a bitrate of 320 mp3 (this is of course sad, but for a start - it will do) - 2 -e take the source through which you will listen - go to the store and listen to 5-8 pairs of headphones (if there is an equalizer - turn it off, or put it flat) - which ones you like - take them (the only negative is that no one will let you listen to the earbuds - hygiene , and the usual ones will give, or listen to different ones from friends + fleece -alcohol) - your option is to look at the characteristics - you don’t really need it - not the level ....

And choose headphones with your ears, not numbers on the sites. Everyone likes a different sound, everyone listens to different music, all the "epoch-making" headphones have their own unique sound, which you can't see in the numbers on the site.
I've always liked the Razer Morey +, although many consider them terrible. And I didn’t like the top gags from Beyerdynamic at all in terms of sound, although everyone drags from them (maybe because of the price?)
