Most headphone specifications I see only mention the sound pressure level in decibels and don't mention whether they're per mW or per volt. So when using a headphone power calculator such as http://www.digizoid.com/headphones-power.html, what sensitivity unit (SPL/mW or SPL/V) do I choose?

What headphones do you have?

I'm asking in general, if you look at the Sennheiser GSP 300 for example it says 116 SPL but doesn't say if it is SPL/mW or SPL/V. Audio Technica, Beyerdynamic, Philips all mention SPL on their site for their headphones but don't specify if it is per microwatt or volt.
