#29 KZ Gale: $21.99 Amazon eBay
Pros: Squig.link measurements, the median of six hobbyist samples, give it a preference score of 82, solid for a very inexpensive single dynamic in-ear. Bass and lower midrange sit close to target with a slight upper bass lift, giving a warm, relaxed tone. Sensitivity of 107 dB/mW at 24 ohms means a phone drives it easily. It shares its rating with the KZ EDZ and DDHiFi Janus 3 at a similar price.
Cons: Sub-bass sits about 1.8 dB under target, so deep electronic bass has less rumble than bassier rivals. The presence band runs nearly 2 dB low with a 2.8 dB dip near 3.5 kHz, pushing vocals slightly back, and its 1.35 dB average deviation is less even than the best in-ears.
