#309 Phenyx Pro PME-10: $19.99 Discontinued eBay
Pros: A very cheap in-ear monitor at about $20 with a preference score of 77. Bass carries a 2 dB lift down to 20 Hz, and the midrange stays within about 0.7 dB of target.
Cons: Treble is very bright, with a 10.1 dB peak near 7.9 kHz and an 8.2 dB peak near 11.2 kHz, so it can sound harsh and sibilant. It is discontinued, the driver type is not published, and the score rests on a single measurement.
Is the Phenyx Pro PME-10 right for you?
Buy it if
- you want the tuning most listeners prefer in blind tests out of the box (Harman score 77).
- your taste runs V-shaped: it scores 82 for that sound.
- you want sub-bass rumble that reaches down to 20 Hz.
Skip it if
- you are treble-sensitive (treble sits about 2.8 dB above target).
- you want to buy it new: it is discontinued.

Frequency Response
How the Phenyx Pro PME-10 measures across the audible range, against the Harman in-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 tdl. Thanks to them for publishing their work.
