Topic: Babyface Pro FS with HD650 (300 Ohms)

I own a Babyface Pro FS and now i am planning to purchase a Sennheiser HD650 headphone. I am confused whether the BFP FS can drive this high impedance headphone and also how well the BFP FS would translate the sound through HD650.
If someone can help me with an answer i would be grateful.
(if this headphone wont pair well with BFP FS i can think of another headphone)

250 Ohms Beyer DT1990 Pro on BFP FS here - no problem, sounds great.

Thank you for the reply. I currently use DT990 Pro (250 Ohms). Thats works good too. Just worried about going to 300 Ohms and i have read that like impedance 'sensitivity' matters too. I am not sure what that means.

I also read that both 6.3 (10 Ohm) and 3.5mm (0.1 Ohm) jacks have different impedance to match different headphones. Do you have any idea how that works and how to calculate compatible headphone impedance from the output impedance of the headphone outs?
