#615 Philips SHS8000 Discontinued eBay
Pros: Lower mids sit within about 0.5 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural. It uses 1 x 15mm dynamic with an easy 16 ohm load.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. A 4.8 dB peak near 2.8 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp. Sub-bass is 6 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble. A Harman score of 63 places it in the lower part of the in-ear rankings.
