The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
impedance

250 Ohms

55 Ohms

Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
sound pressure level

96dB/mW

104dB/mW

Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
