#341 Beyerdynamic T5p: $1,299 Discontinued eBay
Pros: A closed-back flagship with Beyerdynamic’s Tesla driver and a low 32 ohm load that phones and portable players can drive.
Cons: Discontinued and replaced by the second-generation T5p (now the T5), so it is mainly found used. A Harman score of 57 with a 3.46 dB spread from the target and a warm tilt mean noticeable coloration without EQ.
