This page does not review anything Audeze makes. It counts one thing: how much of what this database says about their products came out of their own documents, and how much had to be worked out or left blank.

Impedance is almost always printed. Sensitivity is the one that goes wrong, because a decibel figure means two very different things depending on whether it is per milliwatt or per volt — about five decibels apart at 300 Ω and eighteen at 16 Ω. The conversion is here.

  • Published per mW — 20: the maker prints a decibel figure per milliwatt, which is what the database stores
  • Not published — 1: no sensitivity figure in anything the maker published

What the paperwork adds up to

Almost everything this site says about Audeze came from them. That is not the normal case and it is worth saying out loud.

The rule used here is the same for every maker and is described on the manufacturer index. Every figure behind it can be opened on the product page it came from, with the document it came from linked.
