#762 Empire Ears Zeus Discontinued eBay
Pros: Its tonal tilt of +0.22 sits close to the target, so the overall balance is neither dark nor bright. It uses 14 x balanced armature with an easy 10 ohm load.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Its 4.18 dB spread from the target means a noticeably uneven response. A Harman score of 52 places it in the lower part of the in-ear rankings.
