#731 Final Audio E500 eBay
Pros: Lower mids sit within about 0.5 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural. It uses 1 x 6.4mm dynamic with an easy 16 ohm load.
Cons: Presence sits about 4 dB low with a 4.5 dB dip near 2.5 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite. Sub-bass is 9.7 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble. A Harman score of 55 places it in the lower part of the in-ear rankings.
