#133 Shure Aonic 50 Discontinued eBay

Pros: Measured response gives it a very good Harman preference score of 79 with a 2.57 dB spread. It uses 1 x 50mm dynamic.

Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. An 8.3 dB peak near 11.9 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp. The 4.6 dB bass lift can sound boomy and mask midrange detail.
