Can you guys update the specs on these to tell us impedance and sensitivity? That matters way more than what's actually listed (copy-pasted below), some of which aren't even specs (e.g. the partnership between Dekoni and Fosted).
  • Dekoni Blue is a partnership with Fostex
  • Semi-open design based on T50RP MKIII
  • Only Fostex-sanctioned T50RP MKIII mod available
  • Limited-edition blue ear cups and flat black slider rails
  • Fostex’s proprietary Regular Phase (RP) planar-magnetic driver (used in T50RP MKIII)
  • Dekoni’s asymmetrical Elite Hybrid ear pads with sheepskin, velour, and memory foam 
  • Detachable 6.6 ft (2 m) cable with ¼ in (6.35 mm) plug
  • Padded headband for extended comfort
  • Tuned and adjusted by Dekoni founder and audio engineer Tal Kocen

dingieSaw a few earlier reviews mention the specs. Impedance: 50 Ohms (not bad but...) SNR: 92db/mW which is fairly sensitive I would factor the SNR sensitivity over the lower impedance. These are Planars after all. Probably need some juice. Source(s): http://headphone.guru/dekoni-audio-blue/ https://www.turntablelab.com/products/dekoni-audio-dekoni-audio-blue-headphones-fostex-t50rp I think EposVox' video in the description mentions it as well.

devolutionaryIf by “fairly sensitive,“ you mean “needs noticeably higher volume settings to sound as loud as a 300 Ω HD 6XX” and “you can comfortably turn the volume up to max on an iPhone 6S, and sometimes wish for more headroom,” then I agree. It’s a practical benefit to use a dedicated amp with this headphone, but musically it rewards that effort.
I have the headphone, but I don’t have the specifications on hand, so I do appreciate you posting them.

EvshrugYes, although looking back, I guess I didn't word my summary very well.

devolutionaryWell, again at least you showed the specs, and I agree with you it definitely sounds better with some juice (over what a smartphone can give).
