My understanding is that it's rooted in studio settings where your using amps outputted to a dozen headphone ends, and you'd just send stupid power to 'all of them at once' and you needed headphones that could handle the higher power. So if you had one headphone plugged in, instead of 6, your headphones don't explode from excess power delivery/

​

-This could be completely and utterly wrong. I don't know.

THIS COMPANY IS SELF AWARE, AND YOUR JUST GENERATING ADVRETISEMENTS FOR THEM TO SCAM OLD PEOPLE.

:(

Here's my list of ownership, prior to settling. For a few years now I've been completely happy with my hd6xx's and a fostex hp-a3 amp (but any SS amp is fine really). Of note, I had owned and sold them previously, and after cycling through much nicer gear, I went back and bought another pair and sold everything else. The ROI curve is real.
