#828 Empire Ears EVR Mk2: $899 Bloom Audio $899 eBay
Pros: Its tonal tilt of +0.59 sits close to the target, so the overall balance is neither dark nor bright. It uses 3 x balanced armature, 2 x electrostatic with an easy 3 ohm load.
Cons: Its 4.61 dB spread from the target means a noticeably uneven response. A Harman score of 44 places it in the lower part of the in-ear rankings.
