#57 HIFIMAN RE400: $19.99 Amazon eBay

Pros: A very low price makes it an easy backup pair or first wired earphone. The single 8.5mm dynamic driver, 32 ohm impedance and 102 dB/mW sensitivity work fine straight from a phone or laptop. Crinacle’s measurement shows a slightly bright tilt of about 0.6 dB, which gives a lean, light presentation for those who dislike bass-heavy sound.

Cons: A preference score of 60 with a 3.29 dB deviation from the target means the response is quite uneven, so some instruments and vocals will sound colored. There is no built-in microphone, so it cannot take calls. The KZ ATE and SoundMAGIC E50C are rated higher at a similar price.
