I wonder what the output of these devices is supposed to drive, impedance

to vary by the same amount, which leads me to think, that like many other
portable devices, they are sensitive to what they are driving, and not
always in a good way.

Possibly.


Of course some have that awful sounding ear protection limiter, which from
what I hear is designed to make the device sound so bad, you have to turn it
down!


Or off, which most people seem to do.
