Short answer: the Symphonium Titan, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #1191 of 1291 in-ear headphones by sound quality, rated 1.7/5, at $999. The Empire Ears EVR Mk2 ranks #1206, rated 1.6/5, at $899, $100 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 1291 in-ear headphones; for better sound, the ThieAudio Monarch MKIII ranks #1 at $999.
The case for the Symphonium Titan: Bass is lifted about 4 dB with extension to 20 Hz, giving kick drums and bass lines extra weight. The tradeoff: Presence sits about 3.2 dB low with a 6.1 dB dip near 4.2 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
The case for the Empire Ears EVR Mk2: Its tonal tilt of +0.59 sits close to the target, so the overall balance is neither dark nor bright. The catch: Its 4.61 dB spread from the target means a noticeably uneven response.
Buy the Symphonium Titan. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $100 with the Empire Ears EVR Mk2 does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
