#294 Massdrop Panda Discontinued eBay
Pros: Lower mids sit within about 0.5 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural. It uses 1 x 55mm planar magnetic with an easy 26 ohm load.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Presence sits about 4.5 dB low with a 12.6 dB dip near 10.8 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite. Sub-bass is 7 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble. A Harman score of 61 places it in the lower part of the over-ear rankings.
