#159 Fostex TH7 Discontinued eBay
Pros: Crinacle’s measurement gives it a very good Harman preference score of 77 with a 2.51 dB spread. Its tonal tilt of -0.38 sits close to the target, so the overall balance is neither dark nor bright. It uses 1 x 40mm dynamic.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Its 2.51 dB spread is less even than the best measured sets.
