Ranked #352 of 487 in In-Ear Headphones - CrinEar Reference: $349.99 Amazon $349.99 eBay
Pros: A very even tilt: the median of 30 measurements has a near zero tonal tilt and the mids hold close to target, giving a relaxed, inoffensive presentation. Interchangeable 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm plugs are included.
Cons: Sub-bass falls about 5 dB short at 30 Hz and bass about 2 dB short, so it lacks the low end weight its two dynamic drivers suggest. Presence and treble sit about 5 dB low with a 7.6 dB dip near 5.9 kHz, which dulls detail, and the price is high for a 70 Harman score.
