What are the sound differences between low and high output P-ups?

[FBS1996]

Yeah, I know, I'm a noob. But I've been looking for some new pickups and the Duncan Quarter Pounds seem like the way to go for me, but on the website it says that they have a high output. Can someone explain to me what that means cos I'm new to the world of pickups

Typically, it means they're louder.

High output means that the pickup is louder.

Low output pickups generally have a higher resonant frequency, giving your a more "flat" response with plenty of treble, while high output pickups tend to emphasize the midrange.
