#150 AKG N700NC M2 Discontinued eBay
Pros: Measured response gives it a very good Harman preference score of 78 with a 1.73 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 1.3 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. It uses 1 x 40mm dynamic with an easy 16 ohm load.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Its 1.73 dB spread is less even than the best measured sets.
