#40 KZ PR1: $87.99 Amazon eBay
Pros: The 13.2 mm planar magnetic driver is an unusual choice at this size, and Crinacle’s measurement gives a Harman preference score of 67 with a deviation of 2.36 dB. The 16 ohm impedance suits portable sources, and the 20 Hz to 40 kHz claimed range is wide.
Cons: Sensitivity of 96 dB is low for an in-ear, so volume headroom from a phone can be limited and a stronger source helps. A tilt of 0.76 dB toward the warm side gives a darker balance than the target. The TFZ T2 Galaxy is rated higher and costs less. No microphone is listed.
