#96 FiiO FT1: $164.99 Amazon eBay

Pros: Sub-bass and bass both sit about 2.6 dB above target, so kick drums and bass lines have noticeable punch and rumble without bloating the midrange, which stays within a third of a dB of target. The 32 ohm, 98 dB/mW closed-back design runs directly from a phone or laptop, with a smoother response than most at 2.56 dB deviation.

Cons: Treble from 6 to 10 kHz is about 5 dB low with a 8.7 dB dip near 9.5 kHz, which dulls cymbals and takes the edge off sibilance. A 3.7 dB peak near 5.2 kHz and air about 3 dB high make the top end uneven. At 340 g it is on the heavier side.
