#374 JVC HA-FD02 eBay

Pros: The median of 2 hobbyist measurements gives it a solid Harman preference score of 73 with a 2.47 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: Sub-bass is 5.5 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble. Treble sits about 4.5 dB low, so it sounds a little dark.
