#32 FiiO FD5: $505.28 Amazon eBay
Pros: A preference score of 70 in crinacle’s measurement comes from a single large 12mm dynamic driver. At 32 ohms and 109 dB/mW it needs no dedicated amp, and the slightly warm tilt gives a full, smooth presentation. It also rates higher than the Audio-Technica ATH-CK2000Ti.
Cons: The 2.4 dB deviation from the target is no better than far cheaper sets in this class, which makes the high price hard to justify on tuning alone. The Moondrop Blessing 3 rates much higher for substantially less, and at 11 g per earbud it is on the heavier side for an in-ear.
