#49 HIFIMAN Deva Pro: $199.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: A preference score of 81 with a deviation of 2.2 dB in oratory1990’s measurement shows a smooth, slightly warm response with the midrange close to target. The planar magnetic driver is easy to drive at 18 ohms and 93.5 dB, and it can connect wirelessly or by cable. The open back gives a roomy sound.
Cons: Sub-bass is about 7.5 dB under target, so deep bass lacks rumble. Treble from 6 to 10 kHz is about 4.1 dB low with a 9.4 dB dip near 9.2 kHz, which dulls cymbals and detail. At 360 g it is heavy, and the open back leaks sound with no isolation.
