I've noticed on Beyer headphones their power handling capacity is lower than some other brands (such as Sony's studio monitors). For instance, the DT 880 Pro (250 Ohms) and the DT 1350 are rated at only 100 mW, while the MDR-V6 is 1 W and the MDR-7550 (an IEM) is 500 mW.
Since a lot of amps put out a lot more power than this, doesn't one need to be concerned about accidentally turning the dial too high? (such as when they are not on your head). What are the signs of having damaged your headphones this way and is it something that can be fixed?
