#846 Audio-Technica ATH-LS50 Discontinued eBay
Pros: It uses 2 x 8.8mm dynamic with an easy 11.5 ohm load.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. A tonal tilt of -1.59 makes it sound dark, with bass well ahead of the treble. Its 4.10 dB spread from the target means a noticeably uneven response. A Harman score of 42 places it in the lower part of the in-ear rankings.
