#11 NAN-Z NAN-7: $1400 eBay
Pros: A planar over-ear with an excellent preference score of 93 and a midrange within about 0.3 dB of target from 200 Hz to 5 kHz. At 14 ohms it is easy to drive for a planar.
Cons: Sub bass falls 4.1 dB short at 30 Hz, and dips of 9.6 dB near 9.7 kHz and 7.5 dB near 9.2 kHz dull the top treble. It is sold out after listing at $1400, weighs 410 g, and the score rests on a single measurement.
Is the NAN-Z NAN-7 right for you?
Buy it if
- you want the tuning most listeners prefer in blind tests out of the box (Harman score 93).
Skip it if
- you want more bass (about 2 dB below target).

Frequency Response
How the NAN-Z NAN-7 measures across the audible range, against the Harman over-ear target that most listeners prefer in blind tests. Where the line sits above the target that range sounds louder (more bass, brighter treble), below it quieter. The curve is a single measurement, and both lines are shifted so their 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
Measurement data: a single measurement from the squig.link database of sai. Thanks to them for publishing their work.
