Default ear buds

It's true that for a given signal voltage, a 32 ohm speaker will draw less
current than a 16 ohm speaker, and you should get slightly longer battery
life.

But the loudness of a speaker is determined not only by how much power it
consumes, but its efficiency -- how effectively it converts that power into
sound. And its efficiency has nothing to do with its impedance.
