#68 Panasonic RP-HJE120: $10.99 Amazon eBay
Pros: It is a very cheap wired earphone with a 9 mm dynamic driver, 16 ohm impedance and 95 dB/mW sensitivity, so it plays loud from any phone or laptop. Bass is lifted about 8 dB over target in oratory1990’s measurement and sub-bass is up 2.3 dB, which suits listeners who simply want a big, thumpy low end.
Cons: That bass boost spills into the low mids, which are 4.8 dB over target, so vocals and instruments sound thick and muddy. Treble is rolled off by about 2.2 dB and air by 4.3 dB, with an 8.7 dB dip near 11.9 kHz, so cymbals lack sparkle. The preference score of 40 is the lowest among its rivals, and each of those rivals has a higher rating, including the TRN MT1 at a similar cost.
