#849 Campfire Audio Holocene Discontinued eBay
Pros: Lower mids sit within about 0.5 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural. It uses 3 x balanced armature with an easy 5.4 ohm load.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Presence sits about 12 dB low with a 14.6 dB dip near 5.7 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite. Sub-bass is 7.7 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble. A Harman score of 41 places it in the lower part of the in-ear rankings.
