#117 DUNU Zen: $699.99 Shenzhenaudio eBay
Pros: Crinacle’s measurement earns it a preference score of 72, and squig.link measurements show a warm, slightly bass-lifted tuning with bass about 1.6 dB above target that suits warm and bassy tastes. A single dynamic driver at 16 ohms and 112 dB sensitivity plays loudly from a phone. It matches the rating of the Unique Melody MEXT while costing less.
Cons: Air above 10 kHz falls about 8 dB short of target, with an 11 dB hole near 11.9 kHz, so the top end sounds rolled off and lacks shimmer. A 6 dB peak near 8.1 kHz sits right before that drop and can make some cymbal hits and sibilants stand out. The Fearless Audio S8Z is rated higher for less money.
