#559 KBEAR KS1: $17.09 Amazon $17.09 eBay

Pros: Bass is lifted about 4.9 dB with extension to 20 Hz, giving kick drums and bass lines extra weight. Lower mids sit within about 0.8 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural. It uses 1 x 10mm dynamic.

Cons: An 8.2 dB peak near 7.9 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp. The 4.9 dB bass lift can sound boomy and mask midrange detail. A Harman score of 61 places it in the lower part of the in-ear rankings.
