Not published means the maker leaves it out, so that axis cannot be compared.

Through the balanced sockets the Luxury & Precision P6 Pro reaches 100 dB on 566 of the 567 models here and the Sony NW-WM1ZM2 on 561. Derived figures are worked out from the loads the maker did publish.
| Load | Luxury & Precision P6 Pro | Sony NW-WM1ZM2 |

| 150 Ω | Derived | Derived |

Only one of these two columns starts from a power rating. Luxury & Precision P6 Pro publishes one at 32 Ω and at 300 Ω; Sony NW-WM1ZM2 publishes none at any of these four loads, so its column is worked out from power it published at other loads. Both are arithmetic on a maker’s own figures rather than guesses, and the method used for the Sony NW-WM1ZM2 understates rather than flatters — but at 32 Ω and at 300 Ω are the only loads here at which its maker can be held to a figure.
14 headphones reach 100 dB on the Luxury & Precision P6 Pro but not on the Sony NW-WM1ZM2 — Beyerdynamic DT 880 Edition (600Ω), Beyerdynamic DT 990 Edition (600Ω), HiFiMAN HE-6se V2, 11 more.
552 of the 567 models here reach 100 dB on both.
Headroom is at a 100 dB SPL peak.
The widest gap on the list is the Sennheiser HD 600: Luxury & Precision P6 Pro has +5 dB of headroom there against -3 dB. 8 dB is about 6.2 times the power, which matters for peaks rather than for how loud the music sits.
The hiss columns are empty for Luxury & Precision P6 Pro and Sony NW-WM1ZM2 because neither maker publishes no output noise figure.

The Luxury & Precision P6 Pro costs $199 more than the Sony NW-WM1ZM2. Out of the 567 models here, that difference buys 14 more models driven to 100 dB.
Nothing runs the other way: there is no axis here on which the cheaper of the two does better.
Only published figures count here; blank axes are counted separately.
