#240 Symphonium x Elise Audio Europa: $1,539.00 Elise Audio $1,539.00 eBay
Pros: An all balanced armature IEM with a true 4 way crossover at about $1539, with a preference score of 78. Bass extends fully to 20 Hz with a slight lift, and the midrange stays within half a dB of target.
Cons: Presence is 2.8 dB low with a 6.3 dB dip near 4.3 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose a little bite. At 6 ohms it favors low output impedance sources, and the score rests on a single measurement.
Is the Symphonium x Elise Audio Europa right for you?
Buy it if
- you want the tuning most listeners prefer in blind tests out of the box (Harman score 78).
- your taste runs warm: it scores 87 for that sound.
- you are sensitive to bright or sharp treble (treble sits 2.8 dB below target).
- you want sub-bass rumble that reaches down to 20 Hz.
Skip it if
- you want the best value: the higher-rated QCY HT05 MeloBuds ANC costs about $1,505 less.

Frequency Response
How the Symphonium x Elise Audio Europa measures across the audible range, against the Harman in-ear target that most listeners prefer in blind tests. Where the line sits above the target that range sounds louder (more bass, brighter treble), below it quieter. The curve is a single measurement, and both lines are shifted so their 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
Measurement data: a single measurement from the squig.link database of aden. Thanks to them for publishing their work.
