#42 IOAudio Volare: $599.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: Nine squig.link measurements put its preference score at 81.5 with a 1.23 dB deviation, among the smoothest in-ear results. Bass sits about 1 dB above target down to 20 Hz, so it adds weight and rumble without crowding the midrange, which tracks the target almost exactly. It is rated higher than the cheaper Myer Audio CKLVX D62 and Moondrop Blessing 3, and 121 dB/Vrms sensitivity means any phone drives it.
Cons: The presence band is about 2.6 dB under target with a 3.4 dB dip near 6 kHz, then a 4.5 dB peak near 11.9 kHz, so attack is a bit soft while the very top can sound crisp. The very low 4.8 ohm impedance works best with a low output impedance source, and the Moondrop Meteor matches its rating for less money.
