#47 FiiO FH3: $119.99 Amazon eBay

Pros: Bass and sub-bass sit within about 1 dB above the Harman target, giving kick drums and bass guitar a full, warm foundation without bloat. The hybrid design pairs a 10mm dynamic driver with two balanced armatures, and 114 dB/mW sensitivity at 24 ohms means a phone runs it easily. A preference score of 65 suits listeners who like a warm, bassy tilt.

Cons: The 3 to 6 kHz presence region sits about 5.7 dB below target, with a dip of 7.4 dB near 6.5 kHz, so vocals and cymbals lose bite and detail. Treble from 6 to 10 kHz is also about 2.2 dB low, which makes the sound dark and a little veiled. The KZ PR1 has a higher rating.
