#149 AKG Y50BT Discontinued eBay
Pros: Measured response gives it a very good Harman preference score of 78 with a 2.46 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 0.8 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. It uses 1 x 40mm dynamic with an easy 32 ohm load.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Sub-bass is 7.2 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble.
