#136 AFUL Cantor: $790.99 HiFiGo $790.99 eBay
Pros: A flagship 14 armature IEM that measures smooth and even: the median of 24 measurements scores 78 on the Harman scale with a 1.58 dB spread, and bass holds right on target down to 20 Hz with only 0.5 dB of shortfall at 30 Hz, unusual for an all armature design. Upper treble air lifts about 5 dB for an open, detailed top end.
Cons: Presence sits about 4 dB low with a 5.2 dB dip near 3.7 kHz, which softens vocal bite and attack, and a 3.1 dB peak near 12 kHz can add some sharpness. Its price is high for a 78 Harman score.
