#100 FiiO FA7S: $947.19 Amazon eBay
Pros: Six balanced armature drivers per side at 18 ohms and 111 dB/mW make it very easy to drive from a phone or a small dongle. At 8.4 g per earbud it is light for a multi-driver in-ear.
Cons: Crinacle’s measurement yields a preference score of just 48 with a 3.7 dB spread around the target, a poor tonal result at a flagship price. The Fidue A91 Sirius rates higher at a similar cost, and there is no inline microphone for calls.
