#133 AKG K92: $69.95 Amazon eBay
Pros: The closed-back design isolates noise at home or in the office, and the 32 ohm impedance with 113 dB sensitivity means a phone or laptop drives it to full volume without an amp. At 200 g it is light for a full-size headphone. It suits listeners who want a bass-heavy, warm tuning, since bass sits about 7.6 dB above the Harman target.
Cons: The response is far from the Harman target, with a preference score of only 3 and a very uneven 6.33 dB deviation. A 9 dB dip near 2.9 kHz pulls vocals and instrument body backward, while a 9.6 dB peak near 6.7 kHz makes cymbals and sibilants sharp. Bass and low mids are boosted by roughly 6 to 8 dB, so music sounds thick and boomy.
