#34 HIFIMAN RE2000: $799.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: Crinacle’s measurement gives a Harman preference score of 69 with a deviation of 2.63 dB, a respectable match to the target most listeners prefer. The tonal balance is close to neutral, with a tilt of only 0.32 dB toward brightness, so it avoids sounding either dark or harsh.
Cons: A score of 69 is only middling for a flagship in-ear, and a response that deviates from the target by 2.63 dB leaves audible coloration. The wired-only design has no built-in mic or wireless option. The FiiO FD5 carries a higher rating at a notably lower cost, which makes this model a hard sell on sound value.
