#211 Shanling ME200: $179.00 Apos Audio eBay
Pros: A one dynamic plus one balanced armature hybrid with a preference score of 66 in crinacle’s measurement and a gently warm balance. It weighs only 6.3 g per earpiece, and at 16 ohms and 111 dB sensitivity it plays loud from any phone.
Cons: Its response deviates about 2.7 dB from target on average, so it is not especially even. The wired Sennheiser IE 40 Pro rates higher for less money.
