#539 FiiO F5 Discontinued eBay

Pros: Its tonal tilt of -0.34 sits close to the target, so the overall balance is neither dark nor bright. It uses 1 x 13.6mm dynamic with an easy 32 ohm load.

Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Its 2.71 dB spread is less even than the best measured sets.
