Mountain’s Burson Playmate 2 with Final D8000 Pro Edition

• Impedance: 60 Ω
• Sensitivity: 98 dB/mW ≈ 110.2 dB/V (calc.)
• Plugs / cables supplied: OFC 3.5 mm 1.5 m; OFC silver-coated 6.3 mm 3 m
• Other: weight 523 g; housing aluminium-magnesium; product codes FI-D8PPAL / FI-D8PPALS

Matching notes: At 60 Ω and 98 dB/mW, the D8000 Pro Edition is a low-impedance load: about 0.98 V (16 mW, 16 mA) for 110 dB SPL (calc.). Burson does not publish a 60 Ω rating for the Playmate 2. Its 32 Ω and 100 Ω ratings (2.5 W SE; 0.6 W SE) fall either side of it. The Playmate 2’s under 2 Ω headphone output impedance is less than 1/30 of the load. ^{[1] [2] [3]}
