#564 Meze Rai Penta Discontinued eBay
Pros: Lower mids sit within about 0.8 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural. It uses 1 x dynamic + 4 x balanced armature with an easy 20 ohm load.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Presence sits about 4.7 dB low with an 8.1 dB dip near 10.6 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite. A 4.2 dB peak near 1.6 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp. Sub-bass is 5.2 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble.
