#291 EarAcoustic Genesis G318s: $249 eBay
Pros: A single 8.3 mm titanium dynamic IEM with a preference score of 77 and bass full to 20 Hz. The aluminum shell and detachable 2 pin silver plated cable come at about $249.
Cons: A 7.6 dB peak near 8.4 kHz can make sibilants and hi hats stand out, with dips near 3.5 kHz and 6.3 kHz around it. It is hard to find outside Europe, and the score rests on a single measurement.

Frequency Response
How the EarAcoustic Genesis G318s measures across the audible range, against the Harman in-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 a single measurement, and both lines are shifted so their 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
Measurement data: a single measurement from the squig.link database of theaudiostore. Thanks to them for publishing their work.
