#224 Sony MDR-7510 Discontinued eBay
Pros: Crinacle’s measurement gives it a solid Harman preference score of 70 with a 3.10 dB spread. Its tonal tilt of -0.34 sits close to the target, so the overall balance is neither dark nor bright. It uses 1 x 50mm dynamic with an easy 24 ohm load.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Its 3.10 dB spread is less even than the best measured sets.
