#204 Audeze LCD-1 Discontinued eBay
Pros: Measured response gives it a solid Harman preference score of 72 with a 2.69 dB spread. It uses 1 x 90mm planar magnetic.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Presence sits about 3.4 dB low with an 8.5 dB dip near 6.2 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite. Sub-bass is 8 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble.
