#792 Sennheiser IE 800 S Discontinued eBay
Pros: Lower mids sit within about 0.6 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural. It uses 1 x 7mm dynamic with an easy 16 ohm load.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Presence sits about 8.3 dB low with an 11.2 dB dip near 3.4 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite. A Harman score of 49 places it in the lower part of the in-ear rankings.
