#912 Kinera Celest Pandamon: $79.00 Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Kinera Celest Pandamon 2.0, ranked lower, rated 3/5, released around 2024. See every Kinera Celest Pandamon generation.
Pros: A planar magnetic earphone measured by 16 reviewers with a nearly neutral overall tilt, whose midrange from 300 Hz to 2 kHz stays within 0.6 dB of target, so voices sound clean and natural. It weighs only 5.4 g per earpiece and 108 dB sensitivity runs easily from a phone.
Cons: Sub bass is nearly 5 dB below target, so the low end lacks rumble, and treble from 5 to 8 kHz sits about 6 dB low with an 8.5 dB dip near 6.1 kHz, so detail sounds muted. It is discontinued, replaced by the Kinera Celest Pandamon 2.0.

Frequency Response
How the Kinera Celest Pandamon measures across the audible range, against the Harman in-ear target that most listeners prefer in blind tests. Where the line sits above the target that range sounds louder (more bass, brighter treble), below it quieter. The curve is the median of 16 independent measurements, so one odd sample or rig cannot skew it, and both lines are shifted so their 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
Measurement data: median of 16 measurements from the squig.link databases of achoreviews, arn, bassyalexander, breampike, cqtek, fahryst, flare, hbb, ianfann, kazi, obodio, practiphile, soundcheck39, soundignity, timmyv and vortexreviews. Thanks to each of them for publishing their work.
