#92 Capra Audio Satyr 2: $60 eBay
Pros: Tuned close to the Harman target that most listeners prefer in blind tests (preference score 83).
Cons: The rating reflects sound quality only; comfort, build and noise isolation are not part of the score.
Is the Capra Audio Satyr 2 right for you?
Buy it if
- you want the tuning most listeners prefer in blind tests out of the box (Harman score 83).
- your taste runs warm: it scores 98 for that sound.
Skip it if
- you need isolation or will use it in public: open-back headphones leak sound both ways.
- you want the best value: the higher-rated Superlux HD 668B costs about $10 less.

Frequency Response
How the Capra Audio Satyr 2 measures across the audible range, against the Harman over-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 3 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.
Measurement data: median of 3 measurements from the squig.link databases of cammyfi, capraaudio and listener. Thanks to each of them for publishing their work.
