It doesn't work with high impedance headphones

In addition to poor audio quality on headphone output, HTC One can not detect the headphones with high impedance, such as Sennheiser HD-202 :-(

That's odd... The S4 seems to have issues with low-impedance headphones (but at least plays audio), and the One with high-impedance? Weird...

I own some HD 202's they are rated for a normal 32 ohms. Not high impedance.

My HTC One has no issues powering my Beyerdynamics 770 Pro (80 ohm version). Sound quality is pretty good for a smartphone.

My Iphone 4S and the Iphone 5 couldn't even power my headphones.

Sorry guys. I though 32 ohms was high ;-)
Yes, HTC One can not detect the headphones with LOW impedance. It works fine with my Creative Zen Aurvana (42 ohms) and Koss PortaPro (60 ohms). But it wont' switch to headphone output when I use Sennheiser HD-202 (32 ohms). So it is known issue with some Android phones?

I have the HD 202's and they work fine with my HTC One.

Mine work just fine.
