#268 BGVP Phantom: $899.00 Shenzhenaudio $899.00 eBay

Pros: An eight-driver flagship that combines dynamic, balanced armature, electrostatic and bone conduction drivers, and measures close to the Harman target (score 76 across six measurements) with bass about 1.1 dB above target and full sub-bass to 20 Hz.

Cons: Expensive at about $899, and sold mainly through Shenzhenaudio. A 1.66 dB spread from the target still leaves some peaks and dips.

Is the BGVP Phantom right for you?

Buy it if

  • you want the tuning most listeners prefer in blind tests out of the box (Harman score 76).
  • you want sub-bass rumble that reaches down to 20 Hz.

Skip it if

  • you want the best value: the higher-rated EPZ G10 costs about $875 less.

Frequency Response

How the BGVP Phantom 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 the median of 6 independent measurements, so one odd sample or rig cannot skew it, and both lines are shifted so their 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
