Creative X-Fi - Headphone Impedance

If you've recently decided to dive into the world of hi-fi gaming headsets than you probably discovered that they tend to require a much higher impedance.

For example, the Sennheiser PC 350 gaming headset has a requirement of 150ohms. I couldn't find any documentation online that specified the specifics on the headphone output of the Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro (PCI edition) so I decided to contact support:

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.

You should be able to use 150 Ohm headphones.

Regards,

And there you have it folks.
