#7 Shuoer S12: $129.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: A planar magnetic driver is unusual in an in-ear and gives a Harman score of 80 with a smooth 1.62 dB deviation. Bass is lifted about 1.9 dB, adding warmth and punch, while the upper mids and treble stay close to target. The 16 ohm impedance is easy to drive from a phone, and it matches the Final Audio A4000 on rating.
Cons: A 4.2 dB peak near 8.2 kHz can make cymbals and sibilants slightly sharp, and treble from 6 to 10 kHz runs about 1.6 dB hot. Presence from 3 to 6 kHz sits 2.4 dB under target with a 3.3 dB dip near 3.75 kHz, so vocals can lose some forwardness. The 102 dB per mW sensitivity asks for a bit more volume than efficient rivals.
