#26 CCA C12: $48.99 Amazon eBay

Pros: A preference score of 71 in crinacle’s measurement is respectable for a hybrid with one dynamic driver and five balanced armatures. The 24 ohm impedance and 112 dB/mW sensitivity make it easy to drive from any phone. A slightly warm tilt gives it a fuller, more relaxed presentation than a bright set.

Cons: The 2.2 dB deviation from the target shows the response still wanders, so tonal balance will not be fully natural. Crowding six drivers into one housing does not translate into a score above cheaper single-driver sets like the CCA CRA, which has a higher rating.
