#214 Grado SR60e Discontinued eBay
Pros: Measured response gives it a solid Harman preference score of 71 with a 2.35 dB spread.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. An 8.9 dB peak near 2.0 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp. Sub-bass is 9.8 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble.
