#102 Fearless Audio x Crinacle Dawn: $1399 eBay
Pros: A six balanced armature and two electrostatic IEM tuned with Crinacle, scoring 81 with only 1.46 dB average deviation from target. Bass is full to 20 Hz and the midrange stays within about 0.5 dB of target, so voices sound natural.
Cons: Presence sits 2.4 dB low with dips near 2.7 kHz and 5.6 kHz, so vocals can sound a touch distant. It is sold out after listing at $1399, impedance and sensitivity are not published, and the score rests on a single measurement.

Frequency Response
How the Fearless Audio x Crinacle Dawn 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 timmyv. Thanks to them for publishing their work.
