#79 Fostex TH610: $799.99 B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: Crinacle’s measurement gives it a preference score of 72 with a slightly warm overall tilt, a solid result for a closed-back headphone. Its 25 ohm impedance and 98 dB/mW sensitivity let a phone or laptop drive the 50 mm dynamic driver without a dedicated amp, and the closed back keeps sound from leaking in shared spaces.
Cons: At 375 g it is on the heavier side for a closed-back headphone. The Denon AH-D5200 rates higher and costs less, and the Focal Bathys rates higher at the same price while adding wireless convenience.
