#866 Stax SR-002 Discontinued eBay
Pros: Its tonal tilt of +0.07 sits close to the target, so the overall balance is neither dark nor bright.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Its 5.01 dB spread from the target means a noticeably uneven response. A Harman score of 36 places it in the lower part of the in-ear rankings.
