Reply to comment by DeathsingerQc in Headphone jack tier list, cuz why not by nopunterino

XLR is S tier because twice the power double the fun.

It's typically double the voltage, which is four times the power, unless there is some other current limit in the amp (which there often is).

4.4 (top) and 2.5 (bottom) in this picture are also balanced and double voltage.

W=VxA

Not sure where you get 4W=2VxA

For a constant resistance as voltage increases current also increases proportionally (Ohm's law, I=V/R).

As current also increases proportionally, the increase in power is the square of the voltage increase.

It's also the square of the current increase, you can use that either.

But you can't have voltage increase with no current increase, they are linked. Unless there is a proportionate change in resistance with increasing voltage, which there isn't in headphones.

P=V^2 /R -> V(x2)^2 /R(no change) you get a P(x4) change.
