#222 BGVP Feather: $109.00 The HiFi Cat $109.00 eBay
Pros: A hybrid with one dynamic driver and four balanced armatures whose sub bass reaches fully to 20 Hz with bass about 1.6 dB above target, giving a full, punchy low end. 107 dB SPL/mW sensitivity is easy to drive.
Cons: Treble is bright, about 5.8 dB above target from 8 to 12 kHz with peaks near 8.9 and 11.2 kHz, which can sound harsh. The EPZ Q5 Pro rates higher for less, and the score rests on a single measurement.
Is the BGVP Feather right for you?
Buy it if
- you want the tuning most listeners prefer in blind tests out of the box (Harman score 78).
- you want sub-bass rumble that reaches down to 20 Hz.
Skip it if
- you are treble-sensitive (treble sits about 2.3 dB above target).
- you want the best value: the higher-rated QCY HT05 MeloBuds ANC costs about $75 less.

Frequency Response
How the BGVP Feather measures across the audible range, against the Harman in-ear target that most listeners prefer in blind tests. Where the line sits above the target that range sounds louder (more bass, brighter treble), below it quieter. The curve is a single measurement, and both lines are shifted so their 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
Measurement data: a single measurement from the squig.link database of soundcheck39. Thanks to them for publishing their work.
