#18 FiiO FH5s: $254.99 Amazon eBay
Pros: A preference score of 75 in crinacle’s measurement points to a response close to the Harman target, and it is rated above the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 and the Shuoer S12 Pro. The hybrid design pairs a 12 mm and a 6 mm dynamic driver with two balanced armature drivers. At 40 ohms and 106 dB sensitivity it is easy to drive from a phone, and each earbud weighs 8.8 g.
Cons: Its score and rating are about the same as the AUNE Jasper and the Beats Powerbeats Pro, so it does not stand out in its class. The tilt leans slightly bright, which may not suit listeners who prefer a warm sound. It is wired only, with no built in microphone.
