#43 Moondrop Meteor: $549.99 Amazon eBay
Pros: Across 19 hobbyist measurements on squig.link it earns a preference score of 81.3 with a very even 1.37 dB deviation, so nothing in the midrange sticks out. Bass holds within 2 dB of target down to 20 Hz, giving kick drums real weight without bloating vocals. The 120 dB/Vrms sensitivity and 18.5 ohm load make it easy to drive from a phone dongle, and it matches the IOAudio Volare in rating for a little less money.
Cons: The 3 to 6 kHz presence region sits about 3.4 dB under target and a 4.2 dB dip near 7.3 kHz follows, so guitars and cymbals lose some bite and detail can sound polite. The higher rated EPZ K9 and Moondrop Harmon both cost noticeably less.
