Shanling ME700 Lite - ranked #336 of 749 In-Ear Headphones · Editor's rating 4/5

#336 Shanling ME700 Lite Discontinued eBay

Pros: The median of 2 hobbyist measurements gives it a solid Harman preference score of 74 with a 2.09 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 1.4 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. It uses 1 x dynamic (titanium diaphragm) + 4 x balanced armature with an easy 16 ohm load.

Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. A 7.8 dB peak near 8.2 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp. Sub-bass is 4.3 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble.
