It depends. The reasoning behind using multiple drivers in headphones and speakers is the same, which is that different size drivers are more capable of reproducing certain frequency ranges. In theory a well made multi-driver headphone would probably sound better than even the best single-driver headphone, but the reason this hasn't been done is largely practical. In order to tune the headphone properly you'd either need separate amplification for each driver, or some sort of attenuator inside the headphone for the smaller driver(s). Given that we think of headphones as passive devices, I don't think this would be well received.

Thanks man I really hope that I can go to some more trade shows and people can listen to them in person but until then the prices are going to remain Llosa people can try them and there’s zero obligation. If you don’t like them, you can just return them from fro money back. That’s the best I can do right now until I get more people to try them and review them.

Actually I was wrong about Qudelix, it is not that convenient there, because the app does not have a calculator. It only has the mV level on the right of the headroom regulator. For example you get 1e+2 there, 1e+2 is 100, so you get 100mV, means 0.1VRMS. https://www.headphonesty.com/headphone-power-calculator/ - you can calculate the else here.

I was wrong because FiiO devices really have this calculator built into the app and it's connected to the volume level, so you enter sensitivity and impedance of your headphones and get output power and DBFS in return. It's the most convenient way.
