I’ve had the pleasure of owning three Burson Conductor models, and I currently enjoy the GT4 and Fusion, along with the Composer 3X and Soloist 3X. What truly stands out for me is the incredibly detailed sound signature that Burson delivers compared to other brands. I’ve never encountered a pair of headphones that Burson equipment couldn’t drive to their full potential. It’s a fantastic experience that really elevates my listening sessions!
Matching notes: At 55 Ω and 104 dB/mW, the Focal Clear is a low-impedance load, and an efficient one: about 0.47 V (4 mW, 8.5 mA) for 110 dB SPL (calc.). Burson does not publish a 55 Ω rating for the Conductor GT4. Its 32 Ω and 100 Ω ratings (10 W XLR / 5 W SE; 5 W XLR / 2.5 W SE) fall either side of it. The Conductor GT4’s 0.5 Ω headphone output impedance is 1/110 of the load. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Matching notes: At 35 Ω and 105 dB/mW, the Focal Radiance is a low-impedance load, and an efficient one: about 0.33 V (3.2 mW, 9.5 mA) for 110 dB SPL (calc.). Burson does not publish a 35 Ω rating for the Conductor GT4. Its 32 Ω and 100 Ω ratings (10 W XLR / 5 W SE; 5 W XLR / 2.5 W SE) fall either side of it. The Conductor GT4’s 0.5 Ω headphone output impedance is 1/70 of the load. [6] [7] [4] [5]
Matching notes: At 20 Ω and 103 dB/mW, the Audeze LCD-X is a low-impedance load, and an efficient one: about 0.32 V (5 mW, 16 mA) for 110 dB SPL (calc.). Burson does not publish a 20 Ω rating for the Conductor GT4; its nearest published rating is 10 W XLR / 5 W SE into 32 Ω. The Conductor GT4’s 0.5 Ω headphone output impedance is 1/40 of the load.

Specs from manufacturer data unless a source below says otherwise. “calc.” values are worked out from those figures (V = √(P × R); 110 dB SPL used as a loud reference level). Gear listed without specs is not in our spec library yet.
