#85 Questyle NHB12: $89.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: For bass lovers it delivers about 5 dB extra sub-bass and 6.4 dB extra bass over target, with 3.9 dB more than target at 30 Hz, so low notes have weight and rumble. The midrange stays close to target from 1 to 6 kHz, keeping vocals present despite the boosted lows. Its 38 ohm single dynamic driver weighs 13 g per earpiece.
Cons: A 7.5 dB peak near 11.8 kHz on top of the heavy bass gives a V-shaped sound that HypetheSonics’ measurement scores at only 57 on preference. The Tin HiFi T2 Evo and 1MORE Triple Driver share its rating at lower prices, and the Sennheiser CX 3.00 is rated higher for less.
