Short answer: the Fearless Audio S8Pro. Both are rated 3.5/5 for sound quality (#793 and #795 of 1291 in-ear headphones), and the Fearless Audio S8Pro costs $489 against $539.10 for the QoA Martini, with sound quality a draw, the lower price decides it.
Why pick the Fearless Audio S8Pro: Bass runs about 5 dB above target from 60 to 200 Hz in HypetheSonics’ measurement, giving a thick, punchy low end that suits listeners who like a V-shaped or warm sound. The tradeoff: Treble from 6 to 10 kHz sits nearly 6 dB above target with an 8.5 dB peak near 8.6 kHz, which can make cymbals and sibilance sharp and fatiguing at higher volume.
Why pick the QoA Martini: A six driver tribrid with a bone conduction driver, a dynamic driver and four balanced armatures. The catch: Treble sits about 4.7 dB below target, a dark, relaxed balance.
Buy the Fearless Audio S8Pro. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $50.10 less than the QoA Martini.
