#42 CCA CSN: $25.99 Amazon eBay
Pros: A hybrid pairing of a 10 mm dynamic driver and a balanced armature gives Crinacle’s measurement a Harman preference score of 67, which is solid for a very inexpensive wired set. With 22.5 ohms and 112 dB/mW sensitivity it plays loud from a phone. The slight warm tilt of 0.46 dB keeps it from sounding harsh.
Cons: A deviation of 2.64 dB from the target leaves clear coloration in places. It is wired only with no microphone listed. The MEE Audio M6 Pro, CCA C10 and KZ ZST are all rated higher at close to the same cost.
