Hi folks, today I receive 800 premium 600 ohm and pair it with my e10k, D10 + Atom combo.
A while ago, I bought 4xx but then returned it. With D10 + Atom, I have enough volume at around 10'o clock on Atom, while D10's volume was maxed out in window/Topping driver. For e10k, it's window volume was also at max, and I can listen to 4xx with knob at around 2-3. For both cases, above those volume are basically unlistenable. Both e10k and Atom are on low gain.
The thing is, my 880 premium 600 ohm also reaches the same volume at the some position for both combo. Of course, there is no way I can volume match them since I don't have equipment to do so, so it is all based on my ear.
However, it's kinda weird that on my smartphone (Asus Zenfone 3 ZE552KL), 1/2 of the volume bar gives me enough volume on 4xx, but it has to be maxed out in order to get the same volume on 880.
880's plug is labeled 600 ohm, so I'm pretty sure the version is correct.
Can anyone explain this for me? In case anyone suppose that I messed up settings or I remember these wrong, I literally took a detailed note of my experience with 4xx so no way it is incorrect. I thought that 880 should be way "harder to drive" compared to 4xx.

Side question, the box comes without seal (as in picture). Although, I couldn't find any hair, fingerprint, scratch etc, the pad color is like below. Is it normal? Since the box of 4xx also have no seal, only a plastic cover outside, I'm curious.
