Steve,

Look closely - that is the *power* that can be developed by the amplifier. Certainly a higher impedance load will reduce the power available from the amplifier, but the output voltage will be higher and the current requirement is lower. Most headphones (other than some audiophile types) do not require much power at all.

LM4811  Headphone Amplifier

Texas Instruments Specs for output Z

RL = 16Ω 105 mW
RL = 32Ω 70 mW

At 60 ohms the output power drops to 20 mw. Per their graphs.

300 ohms is not even considered.
