#781 Meze 12 Classics V2 Discontinued eBay
Pros: Lower mids sit within about 0.5 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural. It uses 1 x 8mm dynamic with an easy 16 ohm load.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Presence sits about 3.2 dB low with an 11.3 dB dip near 11.5 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite. A 5.5 dB peak near 6.1 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp. Sub-bass is 10 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble. A Harman score of 50 places it in the lower part of the in-ear rankings.
