Maximum input is the maximum electrical input, usually expressed in mW for headphones, that you can safely push through the headphones.

Sensitivity, usually expressed as dB/mW for headphones, is the volume you get out of the headphone's driver for a certain amount of electrical input. All else being equal, if you were to compare two different headphones by sending them the same signal at the same volume from an amp, the headphone with the higher sensitivity would appear to play louder (ie, more volume per the same input).
