#241 InEar StageDiver SD5: $845.00 Thomann eBay
Pros: With a very high 120 dB sensitivity it reaches loud levels from any phone or stage monitor pack with almost no volume needed. Its preference score of 61 in crinacle’s measurement puts it level in rating with the FiiO FH5, which costs more.
Cons: Its response deviates about 3.2 dB from target on average, an uneven tuning that colors many recordings. Such high sensitivity can also reveal background hiss from noisy sources, and the Shanling ME700 matches its rating for considerably less.
