#18 Moondrop Venus Discontinued eBay
Pros: Measured response gives it an excellent Harman preference score of 90 with a 1.91 dB spread. It uses 1 x 100mm planar magnetic with an easy 18 ohm load.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. A 5.6 dB peak near 11.9 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp. Sub-bass is 7 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble.
