When evaluating the loudness of headphones, sensitivity (measured in dB/mW) indicates how loud they can get with a given amount of power. A higher dB/mW rating signifies that the headphones will produce greater volume with the same input. Here's a brief comparison of the sensitivity levels for the XM5 and XM6 models, according to their manuals: XM5 Sensitivity: - 102 dB/mW (when powered on) - 100 dB/mW (when powered off) XM6 Sensitivity: - 103 dB/mW (when powered on) - 102 dB/mW (when powered off) (Note: These sensitivity ratings apply to both the XM5 and XM6 when connected via the headphone cable.) Which headphones are louder? The XM6. The XM6 headphones outperform the XM5 in terms of loudness in both operational modes: When powered on: The XM6 delivers a sound level of 103 dB/mW, making it 1 dB louder than the XM5, which reaches 102 dB/mW. This increased volume is due to the XM6's slightly more efficient internal electronics. When powered off: The XM6 is also 2 dB louder, producing 102 dB/mW compared to the XM5's 100 dB/mW. This suggests that the XM6's drivers are inherently more efficient, even without power. What does this mean for you? The XM6 headphones provide a louder listening experience with less power drawn from your device, potentially enhancing your audio enjoyment while conserving your device's battery life.
