#280 Audeze LCD-24 Discontinued eBay
Pros: Lower mids sit within about 0.5 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural. It uses 1 x 106mm planar magnetic with an easy 15 ohm load.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Presence sits about 7.5 dB low with an 11 dB dip near 4.0 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite. Sub-bass is 7.6 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble. A Harman score of 63 places it in the lower part of the over-ear rankings.
