#340 Empire Ears Odin Discontinued eBay
Pros: The median of 8 hobbyist measurements gives it a solid Harman preference score of 74 with a 2.28 dB spread. Bass sits close to target and holds down to 20 Hz, so low end sounds full without bloat. It uses 2 x dynamic (W9+) + 5 x balanced armature + 4 x electrostatic with an easy 3 ohm load.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Its 2.28 dB spread is less even than the best measured sets.
