#98 JVC HA-FD01 eBay
Pros: The median of 2 hobbyist measurements gives it an excellent Harman preference score of 80 with a 1.65 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 0.5 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. It uses 1 x 11mm dynamic with an easy 16 ohm load.
Cons: Treble sits about 4.5 dB low, so it sounds a little dark.
