#86 Sennheiser Amperior: $299.99 Discontinued Amazon eBay
Pros: Closed back at 190 g with an 18 ohm impedance and 120 dB sensitivity, so it plays loudly from any phone or laptop with no amp. It has a built-in microphone for calls, which suits portable daily use. Crinacle’s preference score of 69 is a fair result for a closed headphone, and a slightly bright tilt of 0.71 suits listeners who like more clarity.
Cons: A score of 69 is only middling against the Harman target, and the bright tilt can make treble tiring at higher volume. The Focal Azurys and Cooler Master MH752 have higher ratings, and the Cooler Master is cheaper. It is discontinued and wired only.
