#8 Austrian Audio Hi-X60: $303.69 Amazon eBay
Pros: A preference score of 91 comes from a response within about 1.7 dB of the Harman target, with sub-bass 1.4 dB and bass 1.0 dB above target for a full, slightly warm foundation. At 25 ohms and 110 dB SPL/V it plays loudly from a phone, and the closed back isolates from outside noise. The 320 g weight is moderate.
Cons: There is a 3.9 dB dip near 2 kHz, which can pull some vocals and snare detail slightly back, and a 3.1 dB peak near 5.6 kHz adds a touch of edge. It has no built-in microphone, unlike the Beyerdynamic MMX 300, so it is less suited to calls and gaming.
