#242 Kinera Nanna 2.1 Z-Tune Edition: $949 eBay
Pros: A dynamic, balanced armature and two electrostatic tribrid with a preference score of 78 and bass exactly on target to 20 Hz. The cable comes with swappable 3.5, 2.5 and 4.4 mm plugs.
Cons: Presence sits 3.3 dB low with a 6.1 dB dip near 3.5 kHz, and a 5.7 dB peak near 8.2 kHz follows, so vocals can sound recessed while hi hats stand out. It was limited to 500 units at $949, and the score rests on a single measurement.
Is the Kinera Nanna 2.1 Z-Tune Edition right for you?
Buy it if
- you want the tuning most listeners prefer in blind tests out of the box (Harman score 78).

Skip it if
- you want the best value: the higher-rated QCY HT05 MeloBuds ANC costs about $915 less.

Frequency Response
How the Kinera Nanna 2.1 Z-Tune Edition 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 a single measurement, and both lines are shifted so their 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
Measurement data: a single measurement from the squig.link database of vsg. Thanks to them for publishing their work.
