#69 Denon AH-D5200: $759.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: Bass is lifted about 2 dB from 60 to 200 Hz while sub-bass stays within 1 dB of target, giving a full, controlled low end. The 2.1 dB deviation is smooth, and 24 ohms with 103 dB/mW runs easily from a phone or portable player. The large 50 mm driver and closed back suit relaxed home listening.
Cons: Treble from 6 to 10 kHz is about 2.9 dB under target and a 6.2 dB dip near 9 kHz dulls cymbals and air. At 385 g it is heavy for the class and has no microphone. The AKG K712 and Focal Spirit Classic both hold higher ratings for less money.
