With USB headsets, the impedance and sensitivity of the speakers is
not something that you have to be concerned about. The headset will
have its own internal amplifier circuitry powered by the 5 volts
provided by the USB port. This amplifier will be designed for and
matched to the impedance, sensitivity and frequency response of the
speakers.

It's different for analogue headsets, which plug into a computer's
phone connector type jack(s). In this case, the amplifier is in the
computer and so the impedance, sensitivity and frequency response of
the headset's speakers will affect how well the amplifier works with
them and thus have a bearing on the sound quality and volume range.
