Hey guys, I just want to ask, are there any difference between the 2 and also will the 250ohms version work on say an ipod touch or ipad since I'll get a desktop amp.

Well, the difference is the ohm impedance evidently. And yeah the 250 ohm will work on an ipod but will be very quiet and you'll have to have it on max volume most of the time. Wouldn't recommend that, but if you have an amp for you desktop, depending on the power of the amp it'll be fine. (most amps will be able to power 250 ohm).

If you're going to be using it for ipods and other mobile devices, go for the 32ohm one. Simple as that really.

I sort of recall hearing something about 32 ohm versions of Beyer headphones sound worse than their higher ohm counterparts, so for that reason I'd look at the 80 ohm version. That should work fine on pretty much everything.

Problem is they are much more expensive as their 32 and 250ohms counterparts

I can run the 250 ohm on my phone fine but I have to turn the volume all the way up so it would vary for everyone. It'll be on the edge of being fine or being too quiet. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

Generally for you want a low Impedance for things such as phone and ipod/mp3 player outputs and some laptops as well, Higher impedances are used much more in professional audio solutions (like recording studios) where at any moment there could be a load bang from someone unplugging a microphone without warning or a clumsy sound engineer sends an extremely high signal to the headphones by mistake.

 

Other than volume there will be almost no differences in audio quality so it just depends on what you will be using them for.
