Sennheiser definitions of SPL are not very clearly defined - they use in different places SPL for 1V RMS (mostly), SPL for 1mW power (for some phones), "SPL" without any references and SPL as in "maximum SPL" without telling that clearly (i.e. SP-25 "120dB" SPL) . It is not uncommon for them to have 2 or even 3 different figures for the same phones in different places.For HD650 I found 115dB (1V RMS) in one PDF file and 103dB (1V RMS) in another PDF file and in the technical data on the web page.
It is a complete mess
