#56 Meze 105 Aer: $299.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: The open back tuning is warm, with bass from 60 to 200 Hz about 2 dB above target and the low mids about 1.6 dB above, so voices and instruments sound full and relaxed. Presence from 3 to 6 kHz is lifted about 2.8 dB, which adds clarity to vocals, and the preference score is 79. It uses a single 50 mm dynamic driver and matches the Sivga Luan on rating at the same price.
Cons: An 8 dB dip near 8.8 kHz and treble about 2.6 dB below target take the shimmer off cymbals and sibilance, so the top end can sound dull and veiled. A 4.4 dB peak near 4 kHz adds some forwardness to vocals. The open back leaks sound and offers no isolation.
