Audeze Sine - ranked #24 of 249 Over-Ear Headphones · Editor's rating 4.3/5

#24 Audeze Sine Discontinued eBay

Pros: A compact on-ear planar that scores 89 on the Harman scale with a 1.94 dB spread, keeping bass, mids and upper mids close to target for a clear, natural sound. Its 20 ohm load is easy to drive.

Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Sub-bass falls about 5.8 dB short at 30 Hz, presence dips about 2.8 dB with a 6.5 dB low point near 4.8 kHz, and the on-ear fit presses on the ears in longer sessions.
